The Second Mrs. de ShinyGoth👻

one of my favorite facts about art is that the cheaper a movie is, the better a fashion/environment time capsule it is later. Amazing documentation of ourselves to be found in stuff that got zero stars in the local paper and a back end on a double bill

I won't be horrified but The Devil Wears Prada is gonna be one of them.

You never know about those show-ers, sometimes it's too big to get properly hard.

Yup. Gaza has been largely leveled to the ground and the genocide has left behind few survivors and Netenyahu trying to burnish Trump's image and the media helping Netenyahu do just that is fucked up

Lots of us have great-grandparents names who were absolutely changed when they came here, and when people say otherwise, they're assuming your great-grandparents name was in the Roman alphabet.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

Trump Offers All Colleges Preferential Funding Plan Rejected by MIT The Trump administration is inviting all US colleges to participate in a compact — initially rejected by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — that would grant preferential federal funding in re...

After getting zero firm commitments to this point from the first nine invitees, the Trump administration is extending its proposed compact to all colleges. Expect some red-state publics to say yes.

Demonstrating once again that, by holding that partisan gerrymandering is a nonjusticiable “political question,” SCOTUS set up a situation in which voters and their representatives are essentially punished in Congress if they choose to run their own states fairly.

No this is just good sense. There's no other reason for Tom to be so gung ho about appearing in a play except that he needs an excuse for his boyfriend to stay over.

WAIT! My actual possibly unhinged one is that Tom Bertram and Mr. Yates are clearly fucking in Mansfield Park

Texas State upholds the firing of associate history professor Thomas Alter Alter’s termination occurred on Sept. 10, stemming from his remarks at the Revolutionary Socialism Conference on Sept. 7.

Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress, so they can end the impasse any time they want, all on their own. This shutdown reveals a much deeper dysfunction, to which blame can be wholly attached to Trump and his GOP enablers. trib.al/4RMmelX

Lee Pace in The Fall is the result of a decades-long experiment to see what happens if all the hotness for an entire generation is concentrated in the body of a single man

North Carolina still does not have a state budget:

Lizzie Borden’s attorneys have split in the 100+ years since her death into one camp of keeping all related notes privileged and another of giving them over to a local historical society

Researching whether attorney-client privilege continues after death, and the example given by the American Bar Association to demonstrate it is, incredibly: Lizzie Borden’s defense team.

One kept her files confidential, one left them to an historical society.

If you make "controversial statements" outside of classroom, that the President of the university dislikes, you can be summarily fired even if you are tenured.

Standards-based "college and career readiness" and STEM seem to be the only policy frameworks schools/teachers are allowed to work within. The takeover is so thorough, Ohio has even rebranded their Department of Education *and the Workforce*.

Who needs literature at work, anyway?

...what. Even if you wanted a just so story about the appearance trick...I mean, accidentally mis-cutting the film is right there.

These people have no imaginations.

Modernism is nothing more than marketing scheme.

Unappreciated in your time!!

They definitely are! Our goal imo shouldn't be to try and convince Heritage people that we're right, our goal has to be to win. Having our arguments prepared and available is part of how we win.

You see how that's worse, right?

Modernism is just degenerate Romanticism which is just under-cooked Victorianism.
