The Latest for September 15, 2024
Last week was the anniversary of September 11, which inspired this episode's 9/11 theme.
Prompt the First; The Rising
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rising_(album)
Released July 2002 - not quite a year after the attacks
Prompt the Second: Humor and 9/11
I have a note to myself from soon after the attacks:”Steven Spielberg, around September 12, said that there should be no art about September 11 -- it was too terrible for art. ”

Schindler’s List - 1993
1941 - 1979
I would like to note that I re-watched 1941 a few years ago, at a point where I had been working in an office building on Hollywood Boulevard. The special effects are impressive, to the point that I couldn't tell for sure if it was only miniatures (as I presume it was) or done via actually flying over that area - an area which (because of the view where I worked) I was very familiar with.

An Oral History of th 9/11 issue of The Onion

“Gottfried began his performance with a joke in which he claimed to have to catch a late flight out of town but was worried because his flight "had a connection at the Empire State Building." The joke, a reference to 9/11, was poorly received by the audience, who showered Gottfried with boos and cries of "too soon.”

Pay it Forward - 2000
Prompt the Third: Was that the Fourth Turning?
Neil Howe talks about Gen X and the attacks
That's from CNN but it's shared by Lifecourse - and on there as well we can see this one, from 1997, in which the prediction is made that the 4th Turning will start "in about 10 years" and continue on to the late 2020s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYW3accapOk
Which matches better with the 2008 starting point.
