Total Eclipse of the Heart

We ask:
What’s the most accurate vampire movie? What’s the best song for a solar eclipse? And would Meatloaf have done a better or worse job with this song? #podcast #musicpodcast #laugh

We really are living in peak hoodie times.

When you’re a teacher you realize how bad the world is at explaining things.

There are 100 education policy podcasts? 😂

“I can’t think of a way this could help ME” often equals “this can’t do anything” in many people’s minds

Finally made it over to the @wendemuseum.bsky.social

Wow, it’s beautifully curated and full of thoughtful, fascinating artifacts. #history #historyteacher #coldwar

It’s not really about Hegseth or Trump, both noted chumps. It’s all about the sycophants who confirmed Pete. Government just doesn’t work without thought and skepticism.

Feels like Coogler-Jordan is destined to be one of the great filmmaking teams ever.

Classic fake tough guy who won’t say it to their face.

I tell my undergrads that my 20th c lecture course revolves around two big questions — what is America and who counts as American?

Ai Weiwei’s graphic memoir is remarkable. It’s as much a meditation on how to exist in the world as it is his life story. A really beautiful work. #graphicnovel #comics

I set Spotify to radio based on “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” and it’s on an absolute heater

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

It’s difficult rn to talk civics and history with teens who, for as far back as they can remember, there’s Trump.

Me: this isn’t normal

Them: what do you mean yeah it is

It’s all fun and games when you’re not accountable and you can sit on some asshole’s podcast and lie

So true. A local “Patriot Store” (that’s literally its name) sells Trump merch and its all cheap shit made overseas
