It's easy to overlook behavior when you agree with someone's agenda.
At the end of the day, my litmus test for the behavior of elected officials is this: how would I feel if a member of the other party acted in a similar way.
We should all be careful about the precendents that are set by anyone.

Organizations and institutions that provide people with vital, essential services must be completely devoted to access and the quality of services. A for-profit model, because of its very nature, can never do that and will never do that.

I don't care for people being rude, demeaning, or arrogant. It's unproductive. We expect children to "use their words" and express themselves in a civil manner. Same standard should apply to adults.

Remember when we had to "cite our sources" when writing a report? That was a good thing.

There was a time when newspapers voluntarily printed corrections and retractions when they reported inaccurate information they did this because a reputation for being trustworthy and reliable was valuable and valued.

I love the fact that somehow people think "fact checking" is censorship or somehow infringes on freedom of expression...people yelling fire in a crowded movie theatre because it's their "opinion" ain't something we need as a society LOL

So I love film and the European films from the 60s have a special place in my heart. There's just something so striking about their combination of formal rigor and emotional incandescence.
Here's an essay that I think really conveys how special these movies are:

Whoa!!!!
New York’s latest exhibit is a Stegosaurus so complete it might just stroll out of the museum if you leave the doors open. Proof that even after 150 million years, dinosaurs are still stealing the spotlight—and maybe a few museum snacks

Medieval Women: In Their Own Words
While medieval texts may best be understood as a collaborative production, not deriving from a single authorial voice, this blockbuster exhibition nevertheless successfully presents medieval women – from and in all walks of life – in their own words
