Not sure what his distinction btwn education and academia is, but as a white millennial man I've experienced both the privilege of earning some very, very fancy degrees, and the struggle to make a career out of all I've learned.

TiL that the #WhiteHouse Chief of Staff doesn't seem to entirely understand how to have an off-the-record conversation with a journalist, which is a hell of a thing.

#DarkStar could never be mistaken for anything other the early 70s student film it began life as.
But the students were some of the best in the class, and the movie is the forerunner of both #Alien and the rest of #JohnCarpenter's career. Fascinating stuff.

This is probably my second favorite Gibson book, and has my outright favorite line of his. A steal at $1.99 if you’ve never read it.

In French Canada, Santa Claus is Père Noël and sometimes Bonhomme Noël. Traditionally different from Santa Claus, Père Noël's story includes a donkey named Gui and shoes left by the fireplace with carrots as offerings.

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.
Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

The only funny part of that vile post, for those who forget or are too young to remember, is that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" isn't even original. It's a two-decade-old trope that started as "Bush Derangement Syndrome" because #MAGA is incapable of coming up with anything original.
