After a long grueling campaign season, I’m taking this as a good sign.
Let’s Expect More From Ourselves
Paul Kafasis is on point here:
The new Apple Intelligence functionality is being touted with two new commercials that pitch a smartphone as a substitute for being attentive and caring. Like that idea, the ads are awful.
Neighborhood squirrels have rendered these gourds decisively less decorative.
Today, I was able to attend a special exhibit at the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum: The Artist Who Captured Eichmann.
This compelling exhibition tells the exciting exploits of Peter Malkin, an artist and Mossad agent who played a pivotal role in apprehending Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1960. During his three-week mission, Malkin sketched and painted on the pages of a South American travel guide, creating a unique artistic chronicle of his experiences.
This was an episode of history not on my radar until now. The art was vibrant and engaging, a stark contrast to the evil encountered by the artist.
Finished reading: Dred Scott and the Dangers of a Political Court by Ethan Greenberg 📚
After reading this article by Jamelle Bouie–“John Roberts Makes His Bid for Infamy”–I quickly found a copy of Greenberg’s book. (That’s a #GiftLink.)
It is definitely worth your time to read. While some of the legal analysis was outside of my comfort zone, I found the historical and social information fascinating. The parallels between this antebellum court case and today are too real. I am afraid SCOTUS has made the same type of mistake again.
New papal enciclical [sic] just dropped.
I’m enjoying this show. 🤣
Trump declares himself ‘father of IVF’
This man is dangerous. He cannot be trusted to tell the truth or treat people with the dignity they deserve.
The people of the United States would be foolish to give him any sort of power.
