Coretta Scott King founded @TheKingCenter 50 years ago today! Its website is where I first became aquainted with #MLK's 6 Principles of Nonviolence. See King Philosophy under About tab at TheKingCenter.org . I review these + Mrs. King's words about freedom often. . . .
"Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation. That is what we have not taught young people, or older ones for that matter. You do not finally win a state of freedom that is protected forever. It doesn't work that way."
- Coretta Scott
That would be a quote by Coretta Scott King.

1848 Seneca Falls Convention:
"The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world."
"He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration."

Improvement in 170 years? Yes. Equal pay for equal work? Not yet.
"He has created a false public sentiment, by giving to the world a different code of morals for men and women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from society, are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man."

Sadly as true in 2018 as 1848.

Today's movies-on-TV thread is devoted to a single film. The debut, 60 years ago today, of Dieterle's brilliant HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1939) on WOR's "Million Dollar Movie.'' I first saw this masterpiece during at least one of its 16 showings on Channel 9 during New Year week.
HUNCHBACK was was the only film shown at the first Cannes Film Festival in 1939, cancelled after World War II broke out. It was among the most famous of the 700-plus movies acquired by WOR's parent company, RKO General, when it bought the failing studio from Howard Hughes in 1955
I'm going to focus on two issues: how WOR severely cut the film for its first TV showings, as well as its mysterious, little-known showing on another New York City TV station 14 years earlier, which is why I'm not labeling its first appearance on MDM 12/29/58 as a "NY TV debut.''

Today a tweet appeared from Jeremy Corbyn.
It used language that should worry any democrat.
But it also used language that will send a chill through the heart of many British Jews.
The period between March and now has seen Labour's crisis over antisemitism reach fever pitch. It's been unrelenting.
In late July (just 6 weeks or so ago) the 3 main Jewish newspapers in the UK all published the same leading editorial on their front pages.
The phrase that was then picked up and run with by the rest of the media from this leading article was that a Corbyn led government would pose an "existential threat" to British Jews.

That phrase has come to signify and encapsulate the issue: Jews perceive Corbyn as a threat.

If you want to kill people, the most effective way to do this in the modern era (since gun laws and annoying people like the Police will make things awkward) is to persuade people to stop (or never start) a statin.

Over the long term, 1 in 10 will be killed by that choice.
You can even write books about it and make money.
And be seen as a crusader against a crooked medicogovernmental conspiracy.
The internet is a good place to operate, because most lay people can't distinguish scientific reasoning from pseudoscience, and because ...
Excellent question from Arnab:

Today actually makes it over two decades since the sad killing of Ken Saro-Wiwa by the Nigerian State under Abacha alongside 8 others: Felix Nuate, Baronem Kobel, Saturday Dobee, Daniel Gbooko, Nordu Eawu, Baribor Bera, Paul Levura and John Kpuinee.

I think it’s worth a Thread.
This thread captures history from various perspectives all blended together to reveal a fuller picture.

It shows that Saro-Wiwa was also human like any of us but he was exceptionally courageous and dogged in spite of his human flaws.
Saro-Wiwa was a diminutive man who invariably always smoked a pipe and was considered quite brilliant.

He wrote a popular play which was adapted for TV when we were younger “Basi and Company”.

He was from Ogoni - an oil-producing area in Rivers State which has several villages.

Today is the 10-year anniversary of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Columbia speech
And now for a long, tedious thread about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's appearance at Columbia's World Leaders Forum, 10 years ago today
I have a few vivid recollections of the day—I was 3 or 4 rows from the front, sitting a seat back from a Tehran-based Iranian journalist...
