I was on a phone call with my sisters when this box bug decided it needed to land on my glasses, for reasons unknown. To my credit I was never *scared* but it was a startling moment.

The Pope said it about movie theaters, but it's more broadly true. Well said, Pope!
"Cultural facilities, such as cinemas and theaters, are the beating hearts of our communities because they contribute to making them more human. If a city is alive, it is thanks in part to its cultural spaces. We must inhabit these spaces and build relationships within them, day after day. Nonetheless, cinemas are experience a troubling decline, with many being removed from cities and neighborhoods. More than a few people are saying that the art of cinema and the cinematic experience are in danger. I urge institutions not to give up, but to cooperate in affirming the social and cultural value of this activity."

It also includes a setting of the incredible response by Brazilian Secretary of the Environment José Lutzenberger:
“Your reasoning is perfectly logical but totally insane...Your thoughts [provide] a concrete example of the unbelievable alienation, reductionist thinking, social ruthlessness and the arrogant ignorance of many conventional ‘economists’ concerning the nature of the world we live in.”

I really loved this passage, about the unknown impact of our actions, from a recent post of hers.
Earlier that year, 1990, I read a letter in the local newspaper. A man wrote that he knew our city was a hellhole, rife with drugs and gangs and crime, and that everyone was right to complain - but had we taken the time to notice how beautiful the hills were? That they surrounded us at every turn, the result of the city being inside an ancient volcano? How lucky we were to live in this gorgeous geology - one that would never change no matter how bad life got? I had never noticed. But I noticed it every day after, everywhere I went. That man has no idea the impact of his letter. If he hadn't written it, I might have turned out differently. Now I seek out the best parts of the worst places and treasure them. I try to do it with people, too, but that's a tougher task.

"Thank you, Berklee College of Music, for bestowing on me this prestigious honor. What a pleasant surprise," Dylan, 84, stated in a Berklee press release. "Who knows what path my career might have taken if I'd been fortunate enough to learn from some of the great musicians who taught at Berklee. It's something to think about”

Sequel dropped
someone named Danielle Goldman posting on LinkedIn: "I’m shifting gears from immigration for a moment to something else top of mind for me: the intersection of freedom, opportunity, and leadership in New York City - where I call home. 🗽 Every day, I meet some of the most talented people from all over the world who are trying to come to the U.S. to build lives, careers, and companies here. They don’t come because it’s easy. They come because of what’s possible. Because in America — and especially in New York — you can work hard, take risks, and build a big life and career. The truth is: capitalism gives people opportunity. It gives women the power to build, lead, invest, and chart their own course. To create companies that do good and fill gaps in society. That’s why I’m proud to launch Cool Girls for Capitalism with my friend and respected Venture Capitalist Erica Wenger 🏕️— a movement for opportunity, safety, and smart growth in New York City & across the U.S. New York deserves leadership that backs that vision. That’s why we support Governor Andrew Cuomo. Because he understands that capitalism and compassion can coexist. We can build programs to help those who need it most through affordable housing development & food subsidy programs, while maintaining incentives for success that make America the greatest nation on earth. If you believe in cities that choose possibility over paralysis, that back hard-work and independence and elevate the next generation of men & women who are building, not waiting — then I’d love your support."

the best part about this, among a number of ignominious contenders, is how he speaks for "the immigrant experience" in a way that manifestly, appallingly fails to do so
"Unpopular opinion: New York should be unaffordable. Because New York should be aspirational. Immigrants like me didn't come here because we believed we have the right to a four-bedroom apartment in Manhattan and martinis at Bemelmans; we came here because we wanted to prove that we can make it here and anywhere. Self-entitled losers demanding handouts didn't make this city great; hard-working people who came here with no expectations and no illusions did. Want to live here? Earn it."

Oh really? You think you can just call yourself *that*? What gave you the right to — oh. I see. Apologies.
