🔵 Democrats flip another seat in the New Hampshire State House.

Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

Hate on the Trump 1 "adults in the room" all you want, but Jim Mattis apparently stopped this war from happening in 2018 by saying, as soon as Trump left the meeting where he ordered strikes, "Gentlemen. We're not doing any of that shit."

Doesn't matter. I would argue that putting a struggle artist on an Academy Award nominated Black actress is racism.

X post: Apparently, The New Yorker ran a story with an illustration of Wunmi Mosaku that was obviously not intended to represent her well, so I redid it real quick in a similar style. Took 15 minutes & a love of Black women ❤️

i feel like i’ve been trying to warn about anti-blackness & racism at The New Yorker for years now but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words…

I have told the kids if they need a moment (today we are watching the part where the murder occurs) to just step out. No need to let me know. Brutal.

Showing high school students THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR this week. They’re riveted. Going to end the unit with FREE SOLO (after TPN, we need something not devastating) and then a wee of experimental film before spring break.

I think BLITZ is phenomenal. I often wonder if another filmmaker from a less prestige background had made that exact same film if more people would’ve been open to it rather than bemoaning that the director was trying to make something that was epic and populist.

Jello Biafra is hospitalized after a hemorrhagic stroke on Saturday. He's stable. True to form, he joked "I've fallen and I can't get up" mid-stroke.

The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.

‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI As AI has upended the way students learn, academics worry about the future of the humanities - and society at large

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.
