“I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.” -Bertrand Russell

@kalb25.bsky.social Shanah Tova, Gitele!!

A wonderful clip from The Twilight Zone. And the best tribute to Robert Redford. A wonderful message.

I’m honored that for the past 230 years (at least) my ancestors have been nurtured on and around the sacred grounds of a spectacular 2,000-year-old Native American culture in southern Ohio. #Ohio #Scioto #TurtleIsland #Native #LandBack youtu.be/Vs17pnj98kc?...

A beautifully done, expressionistic theatrical biography. Luke Newton was wonderful as Alexander McQueen. www.thehouseofmcqueen.com

I was remiss for not mentioning the superb writing @erictcarrasco.bsky.social. Bravo.

Season 3, episode 9 of #Foundation directed by #RoxanneDawson is the best of the season so far. She is a very talented director. youtu.be/C53xEOdxz70?...

I took this photo on Lake Tana in #Ethiopia. Many locals still use traditional papyrus-reed boats. This beautiful lake is the main source of the #Nile (aka Abay). #photography

I adore this video love letter to #Vienna #Wien. @wien.gv.at youtu.be/nVF9PEF7es4?...

Umberto Eco’s enduringly popular manual “How to Write a Thesis” is more than a guide for undergraduates; the book is a celebration of the magical process of self-realization.

Beautiful message.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Since it's the birthday of sax genius Charlie Parker (born 105 years ago today, on August 29, 1920), here's one of his 1940s recordings of "All the Things You Are." One of my friends says every time he hears this recording it feels like coming home. See you around.

Beauford Delaney at The Drawing Center #NYC. Wonderful exhibit. #Art drawingcenter.org/exhibitions/...

Twelfth Night at #Shakespeare in #CentralPark is such a great production - Lupita Nyong’o (and her brother), Peter Dinklage, Sandra Oh and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Brilliant, beautiful, and a lot of fun. Here is a small bit of the curtain call.

In June, I was fifth in line for “James” at my local library. Picked it up yesterday and couldn’t put it down. It’s been a few years since my last #1dayread #booksky

Favorite quote: “There’s a difference between rage and outrage.To go into the fight with only rage negates strategy. The outrage … needs to persist. One of the failings of American culture is that its outrage only lasts ten days at any given time and then it disappears into other news stories.”

@julyarabinowich.bsky.social I took this photo while visiting the City Museum in Wien. I wanted a reminder to buy Pettinger’s book. I just now realize that your book was also there!! I look forward to reading it.

Yep. “…and it still is news!”

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Er war unglaublich mutig.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

I totally agree with #McWhorter. Immigrants from Africa can use that term, but for original #Black #Americans, we are simply Americans. I have never used #African-American to self identify! And despite hip hop and rap normalization, the N-word is also not acceptable!

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

What do you think of #GreenteaPeng @discowallflower.bsky.social ? I love all of her music.

Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for your historic win. Wishing you success in moving #NYC forward in a positive direction.
