Here's a random high school memory: in 9th grade, I was obsessed with The Beatles (who in 9th grade wasn't, I ask). One day I brought them up to my (fundamentalist) English teacher.
She told me she didn't like The Beatles because "they brought drugs to America." I told her, in turn, that John and Paul first tried pot at Bob Dylan's house, so technically, America brought drugs to The Beatles.
She didn't like that.

I saw BlacKkKlansman last night and I couldn't sleep for thinking about that end. Floored me.
I don't think i've ever seen a film that spoke so urgently about the moment that we are currently inhabiting. I saw the film on August 11, 2018; the film ends on August 12, 2017.
The last two movies I saw in theatres were BlacKkKlansman and Sorry to Bother You, and they speak to each other in super interesting ways. One a first time filmmaker, one a veteran, both very strikingly about voice & race & identity.

One Glaring Flaw Exonerates Judge Kavanaugh

The thing is we don't need a litany of flaws in Dr. Ford's testimony, most of which could be honest inconsistencies. There is one overarching flaw/lie that totally exonerates Judge Kavanaugh in my view. 1/
Dr. Ford has not claimed a repressed memory of the assault that she retrieved through therapy. To the contrary, she claimed the assault was seared into her memory and she never ever forgot it. She told her husband about it even in 2002, and her therapist in 2012 and 2013. 2/
She has also allegedly told a number of friends and acquaintances about the assault, but of course never ever mentioned Judge Kavanaugh's name, which is fine. So here is the greatest singular flaw in her narrative that invalidates everything else. 3/

One of the hardest things to do on Earth is relocating.
Even if it means moving from one neighbourhood to another or city to city, it is hard. Imagine moving from an entire culture to another as you move from country to country?
The first thing that hits badly you is the food.
When I first started school in England, the hardest thing to adjust to was the food. IT was so bland!! I had to put pepper into everything and it was not the same. One day, I got fed up, went to Tesco, bought stuff and made my own Nigerian stew. It was still not the same.
I had to run away from Sheffield every weekend to Manchester because my Bestman and his wife lived there and had Nigerian food. Having the food you are used to all around you is something that you take for granted until you now have to drive two hours to and fro to get it.

1. A little personnel story in the midst of all this chaos while our lives go on. @ThomasWictor @drawandstrike @Debradelai
2. Like all of you of the conservative persuasion I often get hit with the old, "You're a bigot, You're a racist." Crap. About six years ago our WI governor was faced with a recall election.
3. Governor Walker was putting his foot down in relation to government unions in our state. vis a vis unwanted membership in the unions by some people. You can read about it here, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin…

When he was born, Pence raised his little sopping head, smiled, and said, "I thank you, mother, for the gift of your pain, and I shall repay as I might."
When Pence was a toddler, he was given to the women in the hedge to nurse, and their cracked voices whispered of storms, and their milk tasted of sphagnum, and when he could walk he stole their shared eye and offered it as he shook and wept before a cross of elm twigs.
When Pence began to go to school in his little tie and pressed slacks, the children would tease him, but he smiled and smiled and his small hands clasped upon his bosom, and he said, for he had been found worthy, "My pain is a prayer, and so shall yours be."
