A short history of the death of culture
A short history of the death of culture
Culture is always dying, always being reborn new and better/worse/different.
China’s toxic sky makes for a whole industry of clever protective masks.
What a wonderful idea: Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital brightens the day of their little patients by having window washers dress up as Superheroes. I can just imagine the smiles on those little faces when they suddenly see Superman appear at their window 🙂
Ideology, Not Competence
James Taranto:
“I am not one of those who believe we should moderate, equivocate or otherwise abandon our principles,” [Bobby] Jindal said, courageously courting the wrath of moderators, equivocators and abandoners. He urged fellow Republicans to “focus on real people outside of Washington”—and at the NRI summit he said it in Washington, to a crowd that included many unreal people. “We have to stop dumbing down our ideas and stop reducing everything to mindless slogans and tag lines for 30-second ads.” Woo-hoo! Down with mindless slogans!
Thank you James Taranto for making it fun to read about politics.
I’ve been enjoying this with the boy.
When will my life begin
Mandy Moore – “When Will My Life Begin?” (Tangled, 2010)
I genuinely, honestly, unironically, sincerely adore this song.
Terrific movie.
