Long time married, constant source of embarrassment to spouse and offspring,
enthusiastic home chef, slow bicyclist, gardener, Mac user, photography, and like the family cat, I’ve had all my my shots.

“Monet and Venice” at the Brooklyn Museum is the kind of blockbuster exhibition that has everything going for it. Nothing justifies celebrating this sliver of his oeuvre more than the paintings themselves.
Drowning in the Light of Monet’s Venice
Venice turned out to be the ideal environment for the artist to explore the relationship between water and light that long preoccupied him.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

Typically brilliant essay by @fotoole.bsky.social on the Democrats and their inability to move past internal recrimination: www.nybooks.com/articles/202...
The Lingering Delusion | Fintan O’Toole
Kamala Harris’s memoir 107 Days succeeds at least in distilling the evasions and weaknesses of the modern Democratic Party.

A bit of James Baldwin today:
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

Speaker after speaker at this memorial is explicitly likening him to Jesus Christ. (Slain in early 30s, etc.)

Don't know how this goes over with people raised in other faiths.

Having been raised as a church-going Protestant Christian, I say: What the hell! This is not how Christians talk.

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired.

A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum
The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.
