A post from CNN saying "Target's new CEO unveils his turnaround plan" below a photo of a red shopping card with target's iconic Target logo. Below that a post from Andy Greenberg about how "A Possible US Government iPhone-Hacking Toolkit is Now in the Hands of Foreign Spies and Criminals" The key art is a glowing red hand with fibers of light connecting to an iPhone screen displaying Target's iconic Target logo.

Screened the first episode of Mussolini: Son of the Century in class today and I cannot speak highly enough of its gargantuan soundscape. I don't know that I have it in my to rewatch the series given the world, but it is a truly enormous piece of television. Luca is unbelievable.

Ifβ€”unlike Tommy "6 months" Friedmanβ€”you are actually interested in listening to "the campus left," you might try devoting a couple days to @thedigradio.bsky.social's 5–part series on Iran (thedigradio.com/category/iran) with Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour from 2022
