There are very few politicians who can do a Mr. Rogers homage and make it earnest and believable. Dad Lander might be the only one.
I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

I was lucky to study with Asad Haider while we were doing our PhDs at UCSC. I also remember sitting down with him, debating as we inspected used tear gas canisters during Occupy Oakland. He was a brilliant and generous thinker, and the world is far poorer without him.

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

First time seeing these photos. The JS auditorium with a stage + dropdown projection screen has always been a special place combining theater + cinema, much like Nakadai’s career off studio contract allowing him to work with a wide range of film directors between plays. Many great films to rewatch!
Tatsuya Nakadai during his '76 visit to Japan Society for a 10-film retro—newly scanned from the @jsfilmnyc.bsky.social archives.
In his opening remarks, Nakadai said, “To have a retrospective of my works, spanning more than twenty years, shown here in New York gives me great pleasure"

I spoke to Mahmood Mamdani about his new book, his expulsion from Uganda, his son Zohran, and *that* NYT article.
Mahmood Mamdani on Zohran, Uganda and forced expulsion: ‘Who is part of the nation and who is not?’
After being expelled from his homeland in 1972, the academic has grappled with questions of political belonging – a major theme of his son’s mayoral campaign

I assigned Alice’s Disability Visibility podcast on film festivals (episode 76 from 2020) for next week. I think I’m going to open class with screening her Human Resources episode Pity Party (S1E8 from 2023). We’ll sit with her words and the world she envisioned.
Activist, author, artist, voice actress, and path blazer Alice Wong has passed. She still thought of gracing us with some words of hope for the future she dreamed for us:
“I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future.”

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.
You made a difference—so much of a difference.
Rest always in peace, and always in power.
