Frederick Wiseman changed the way we see the world.

From the classrooms of High School to the corridors of Hospital, he turned his camera on the institutions that shape us — inviting us to look closer, sit longer & confront truth with empathy. 

May his memory be a blessing.

Today we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant of the civil rights movement who never stopped demanding that America live up to its promise.

He marched, he ran, he organized and he preached justice without apology.

May we honor him not just in words, but in struggle.

So apparently white Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over. They call it ICE fishing. 🤣😂

My good friend, @mudede, thank you for this lovely review of “What Is Intelligence?” in @TheStranger. Always enjoy reading your reflections grounded in personal history—from your early years in the U.S. to your Sundays with Sagan in Zimbabwe.

Good question. The 'hotpot' cyberpunk flavor of Chongqing marks a shift in modernity, from - cyberpunk + Generation X as Vancouver BC's world-historical cultural exports (like @mudede once described it) to today's more pervasive embrace of sf themes. thestranger.com/slog/2021/05…
Chongqing is one of the most unique cities I’ve been to in China. Its "cyberpunk" reputation doesn’t do it justice. There’s this beautiful tension between its old history (century-old stairs, wartime tunnels) and the full speed of the future (neon lights, incredible skyscrapers), with the streets actually smelling like hotpot – such a special mix (or is that, in fact, what cyberpunk actually really is?!😅)
