I will add: People who expected this teacher to be bummed do not know (good) teachers very well. A civics teacher? With a student who wants to run for office? That’s probably bliss.

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians
Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Sometimes I think about this movie (“Critters,” 1986)—a fave as a preteen—and wonder where I can see it today. I remember it was gory but also kind of jokey, though I’m sure some of the humor went over my head at that age. Wonder how it holds up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critter... #horror #movies #80s

HEDDA: Nia DaCosta is stealthily one of the most interesting working filmmakers. That Gatsby-like hypnosis of high society is on display—sampling Babylon and Saltburn of late—in a thrilling Hedda Gabler adaptation. Tessa Thompson is sublime; elegance and excess are an intoxicating cocktail.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Eve Arnold, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, 1961.
Taking today off, I went to the Met Museum to see “Lorna Simpson: Source Notes.” After hearing the artist speak last month, I eagerly returned to check out the exhibit, which closes Nov 30. With a Culture Pass reservation made through my public library, I enjoyed free admission. #art #BlackArt #NYC

I’m glad they reconciled with Spinderella. They don’t crossover without the “Push It” video, those posters & single/album covers after Spin joined. Also salute Play from Kid N’ Play for designing their iconic jackets & gear, the Salt N’ Pepa logo & Kid’s role in the Idol Makers/Invincibles team
Thank you Salt, Pepa and Spinderella for style, sound, fearlessness and unrelenting greatness that has done so much with and for the culture ❤️
