“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.

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.

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.
