A viral video series is breathing life into one of the country’s oldest Black history museums Staff at Detroit’s Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History are spoofing what it is like to work at the legendary institution from a distinctly Black perspective.

I wrote about a museum that is near and dear to my heart, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History

The footage coming from Glasgow city centre tonight is very upsetting. I was there only a couple of weeks ago and still consider myself a Glaswegian born and bred. That corner of Central Station is absolutely iconic. Thankfully no one appears to be hurt but small businesses and livelihoods are lost.

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

even if the Hague still functioned, even if Nuremberg had gone down how people believe it did, we'll still need some new kind of system to properly perform the level of reckoning that will be necessary once this has been stopped

You know how you order a book (*coughazon*) and they just throw it in a box and it arrives with damaged corners or worse?

I have *never* received a book more lovingly packaged than from MZS.press, and their library is incredible! Support their store!

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

I see from a quick scroll that it's make sure you're up to date on your med refills time. Probably don't just touch grass but lay in it full-length facedown for a while after you put on some tick spray time too.

This black and white image is from the show The Twilight Zone. A man, Rod Serling, is wearing a dark suit with white shirt and dark tie standing under a tree, a hedge behind him. The text in forefront reads: “What you’re about to watch is a nightmare.”

Pete Buttigieg • @PeteButtigieg

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day. This nation learned the hard way that an unnecessary war, with no plan for what comes next, can lead to years of chaos and put America in still greater danger.
