But how about these? A manually opening door with hinges instead of an automatic door, but fancy hardware/hinges.
This here is an upper-middle-class garage door, *not* a rich person garage door
These have hinges and hardware and are definitely rich people garage doors
Obviously a rich person garage door
Clear rich person garage door
Another textbook example
What have we learned so far about rich people garage doors?
1) At the vert least, they look custom/unlike mass production garage doors, sometimes with added hardware.
2) At times they don't even look like garage doors at all.
3) They correlate with driveway grass.
Speculation: in a given high home value neighborhood, the introduction of one or two rich people garage doors will spur -keeping-up-with-the-Joneses demand for more garage doors. If I owned a rich people garage door company I'd strategically give steep discounts to some folks.
More speculation: future iterations of rich people garage doors are likely to have plant material growing on the garage door itself, if this doesn't exist already.
Still more speculation: a De Stijl garage door would make sense.
A rare find. This style of garage door is generally middle or upper middle class but the addition of stained glass pushes it into rich person garage door territory

Among educators, that is a subject of discussion and debate. As it filters out there's a risk of talking past one another.
For example:
(1/x)
I listened with interest to the webinar event "Black Lives Matter at School: A Discussion with Educators on the Intersections of Activism and Pedagogy"
What is meant by "neutral" and "activism" in these conversations varies significantly even among educators openly aligned with BLM at School in this one webinar. Let's look at some contrasting focuses and perspectives (3/x)
A lesson on Black women who are killed by police is another noteworthy wrinkle in the BLM at School curriculum in Evanston, IL theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… (1/x)
This will be of interest both to folks invested in understanding the ongoing problem of police killings as well as folks reflecting on the different obligations (or so I argue) of activists and educators. (2/x)
The lesson is framed by the question, “Why is it important to recognize that Black women and girls matter?” Malcolm X is quoted: "The most neglected person in America is the black woman." (3/x)
If you read my article on BLM at School (theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…) a bit more about the book *Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness* which was being taught to kindergarteners in Evanston (1/x)
Here's a YouTube video of a nice man in a bow tie reading the book: It is obviously well-intentioned, and has some good stuff in it. As well, there are flaws worth flagging and discussing. (2/x)
The book begins with a mother scrambling to turn off the television set as it shows video of a police officer shooting a black person so that her little daughter doesn't see. This is critiqued as a misguided attempt to hide and bury the truth of racism. (3/x)
Has anyone figured out what's happening to leftover doses of Pfizer and Moderna at the end of the day? I fear a lot are getting thrown away instead of plunged into the nearest willing arm.
In SoCal most vaccination sites have neither a standby line nor a public protocol for what they do with these doses. I assume volunteers and friends of the staff are getting some, but how long can that have lasted? So... What's happening?
I ask because
There was a cite in Encino that did have a standby line for doses that would otherwise get thrown away and they had none left occasionally but would regularly have 15 or 20 doses left that would otherwise go to waste. And it was a small site.
For those who are baffled by why this concerns anyone, or advancing wrongheaded, uncharitable theories that purport to explain concern, let me help you out. There is a higher order question here than the fate of 6 relatively obscure books:
How should we treat books with words or images that we have come to see as immoral or wrongheaded or bound up with ideas or ideologies that caused harm?
(And who decides which books are in that category?)
Short thread on an interesting job post for Deputy Opinions Editor at the New York Times:
On one hand: "We're looking for an editor with a sense of humor and a spine of steel, a confident point of view and an open mind, an appetite for risk and exacting standards for excellence in writing and visual presentation."
What's more: "The Times Opinion team aims to promote the most important and provocative debate across a range of subjects – including politics, global affairs, technology, culture, and business – and is passionate about including a vast array of diverse voices and perspectives."
