Rewatching the Kieslowski Color Trilogy and again wondering why this didn’t make the Sight & Sound list of best films.
Hands down the best name for a bar within a bookstore: First Draft 👌🍺
Forced labor continues in Xinjiang. From Foreign Policy
Jealous of my British friends who get to see Brokeback Mountain on stage 🇬🇧 before I can 🇺🇸
Wow this reporting. Kudos NYTimes.

"In the past five years, California’s state-level GDP has grown by 18%, the fourth-fastest rate in the US

Two years after the military coup, many communities are providing their own public services and making the case for federalism.
Incredible story here: resistance groups in Myanmar are starting to govern autonomously at the local level, providing public services & re-opening schools. They have hospitals and judges, funded by individuals. They've already implemented democracy
