I HOPE this is accessible to everyone, because it's too funny not to share. It's exactly what it says on the box: "Museum curator, 77, learns Gen Z slang and goes viral: ‘Honestly, she ate’" :D #art #wapo wapo.st/4a9x9CE
Museum curator, 77, learns Gen Z slang and goes viral: ‘Honestly, she ate’
“Look how bro glazed it,” said Alison Luchs, National Gallery of Art’s deputy head of sculpture, pointing to a 16th-century plate.

fwiw I'm a silver honors member and I have the hilton card and when I just called to ask if they were changing their policy I got told they don't know what is going to happen but they're waiting for info and in the meantime I should email:

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
