Notably: My first thought on discovering that today is Jacques Cousteau’s birthday (1910, he would have been 114, three years younger than the oldest person alive today), was: isn’t there somewhere a monument to “Ocean’s Impresario,” as the New York Times’s obituary called him (he died in 1997)? Bill McKibben called him the “John Muir of the Deep.” I googled “Cousteau and monument.” There’s an undersea plaque to him at Casino Dive Park off Catalina Island, off the California coast, “the first park in the country dedicated to underwater exploration” and made famous by Cousteau. The plaque had to be replaced a few years after it was installed: the sea is not easy on aluminum. There’s a memorial plaque immersed somewhere off Santorini, one of Greece’s million islands. There’s a Jacques Cousteau Underwater Reserve in Guadeloupe. There’s a statue of him at Carpa Olivera in Mexico. Congo devoted a stamp to him in 2009, Togo 2020, Djibouti in 2022, and North Korea, of all places, in 1980 (they have mail in North Korea? They have underseas? Imagination?). And there’s’ always the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, which he directed from 1957 to 1988. I’m surprised, in our multiverse of a billion television channels and nothing to sea despite Discovery, that an entire channel hasn;t been devoted to Cousteau reruns. Channel Calypso awaits.

Mr. Cousteau, who held no scientific degree, became a household name in many parts of the world through the enormously popular books, films and television programs that documented over four decades of undersea explorations. His first book, ”The Silent World,” sold more than five million copies in 22 languages. A film of the same name, with the young Louis Malle as one of the underwater photographers, won an Academy Award for best documentary in 1957, the first of three Oscars that Mr. Cousteau’s films received. Television programs bearing the Cousteau name earned 10 Emmys and many other awards. Explaining the broad appeal of his work, Mr. Cousteau once said: ”We are not documentary. We are adventure films.” Mr. Cousteau’s adventurous spirit and mastery of the media brought him fame and fortune, but it also drew the envy of more conventional oceanographers, some of whom questioned the scientific value of his research, the authenticity of his film footage and even his record as a pioneering environmentalist. His later years were clouded by family quarrels over the direction of the far-flung Cousteau enterprises, which ranged from the nonprofit Cousteau Society and related organizations, with more than 300,000 members in Europe and the United States, to the Cousteau Oceanic Park, a theme park near Paris that filed for bankruptcy in 1991.

–From Gerald Jonas’s obituary of Jacques Cousteau, The New York Times, June 26, 1997.

    Sadly, the cartoon is wrong. Trump, even in his most private introspective moments, never for a second thinks about anything that remotely would reflect a conscious, morals or ethics.
    The man is a psychopath.
    Just a day or so ago, he was holding a rally in Las Vegas at noon and he was crying about nobody caring about him being out in the heat giving a “speech”. And then told the audience, “I don’t care about you, I want your vote!”.
    And yet there are so many in this country who think he is the “chosen one”. God would never pick this animal.
