Battle Beyond the Sun
Jack Hill on Battle Beyond the Sun The fairly elaborate 1959 Soviet space-race movie The Heavens Call was acquired in 1962 by Roger Corman, who assigned fledgling filmmaker Francis Coppola to rejigger it for the US market by cutting, rewriting and dubbing it into a propaganda-free second feature.
Inghilterra, il voto locale punisce Starmer. Tracollo Labour, 'boom' di Reform Uk
AGI - Crolla il partito Laburista, vola Reform Uk di Nigel Farage, luci e ombre per i Tories. A oltre un quarto delle schede scrutinate, il voto locale in Inghilterra conferma le previsioni della vigilia e assesta un duro colpo al partito del primo ministro, Keir Starmer. Il premier incassa, si assume la responsabilità della pesante sconfitta ma annuncia che non si dimetterà.
Trump’s State of the Union got you down? Imagine its impact on our children.
The State of the Union is supposed to be a ritual of reassurance. The president enters the chamber of the United States Congress, lawmakers rise and applaud, and for one choreographed evening, we tell ourselves a story about who we are. We are strong. We are resilient. We are advancing.
Trump doesn’t invent resentments — he senses which ones are newly safe to express | Opinion
There is a particular kind of ugliness that does not merely offend but instructs. It tells us something about who we have been, who we are becoming, and what social permissions are quietly being expanded. Donald Trump’s circulation of an image portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as apes belongs squarely in that category. It is not a one-off lapse. It is a signal flare. This was not just racist imagery; it was historically literate racism.

Let's talk about blagony: What it means to be the only Black person at work | Opinion
There is a word I want us to consider: blagony. It’s a portmanteau of Black and agony, and it captures a specific psychological space. It’s not merely being the only Black person in the boardroom. It’s the sustained emotional labor, the relentless vigilance, the pressure of representation and racialized perception — all while trying to meet the explicit performance metrics of any job. The only Black engineer in a meeting. The single Black adviser on a team.
Trump sending National Guard troops to American cities is not fighting crime
Let’s not delude ourselves here. Donald Trump’s impulse to deploy the National Guard into American cities isn’t fundamentally about crime. Nor is it, as some critics allege, just a cynical strike against Black mayors or progressive leaders. These are, at best, secondary consequences — politically useful smoke screens. What Trump is doing, more than anything, is testing how far he can stretch the muscular power of the state before it snaps.

Starmer annuncia il documento digitale per lavorare: esplode la polemica nel Regno Unito
AGI - Continua a suscitare polemiche l'annuncio del premier britannico, Keir Starmer, sull'introduzione di un documento digitale che sarà necessario a cittadini e residenti del Regno Unito per trovare lavoro. La proposta, giunta venerdì scorso dal palco del Global Progress Action Summit, ha lo scopo di contrastare l'immigrazione illegale, problema che, ha ammesso Starmer, il suo Partito Laburista è stato "riluttante" ad affrontare, nonostante sia in cima alla preoccupazione degli elettori.
Whether we want to admit it or not, there’s a Charlie Kirk inside all of us
America is a nation forever trying to decide what it really is. From the very beginning, we have been both universal and tribal, expansive and exclusionary, magnanimous and mean. That tension is not a subplot of our story. It is the story. Charlie Kirk, who was eulogized by President Donald Trump on Sunday at a memorial service attended by tens of thousands of his conservative followers, was not just an agitator. He was a mirror.
Charlie Kirk and the unbearable cost of political violence in America
I never agreed with the viewpoints of Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old close ally of Donald Trump and perhaps the most notable evangelist of Trumpism. I thought he was a gifted communicator, but also masterful at spin. At times, I found myself enraged by his social and political pronouncements — particularly his opposition to affirmative action and his cavalier rhetoric about people of color in America. And yet today, I write in disgust. Charlie Kirk has been assassinated.
Identity, trauma, and our national memory: What it means to be American under Trump | Opinion
There are times when the soul of a nation seems to rise to the surface of public life — raw, tangible, visible, and trembling with all the contradictions it contains. This, I believe, is such a time. In moments like these, it’s tempting to look only at the immediate chaos: the sound bites, the indictments, the rallies, the fury. But the present is never just a spectacle to observe. It is a point on a line. And to understand the point, you must trace the line.
The American history of Black fatherhood demands a new narrative
There are stories we tell in America that are simple, straightforward, and heroic. And then there are the stories that refuse to fit cleanly into our myths. Black fatherhood is one of those stories. It is not linear. It is not easy. It is not told often enough. But it is, without question, one of the most morally compelling and emotionally stirring narratives we possess. To speak about Black fathers in America is to wade into a centuries-old paradox.
Let’s talk about Carla Hayden and America’s discomfort with Black women in positions of authority | Opinion
I first met Carla Hayden in the quiet hush of a Baltimore bookstore, the kind of place that believes in the dignity of silence and the magic of paper. It was well over a decade ago, and I was an intern English teacher at the Friends School of Baltimore, when I still believed that only literature could save lives. We locked eyes in the fiction section — somewhere between Toni Morrison and Danielle Steel. She asked what I was reading. She genuinely cared.
‘Switchblade Sisters’ review by ZaneSimon • Letterboxd
It’s a blessing and a curse that Switchblade Sisters is so enmeshed in the exploitation zeitgeist of its time. On the one hand, it’s totally unironic, unpretentious, and entirely invested in its awesome girl-gang dynamics. On the other hand it includes a couple totally pointless sex assault scenes and only seems entirely sold on its fantastic premise in the last act. The final 30 minutes or so are pretty goddamn glorious, punctuated by Joanne Nail’s amazing, bloody Jezebel speech.
What we can learn from bats and Black kids: Challenging misunderstood narratives | Opinion
In the mid-1980s, I was a curious, energetic child living in the urban sprawl of northeast Baltimore. The kind of place where the idea of connecting inner-city kids to nature seemed both urgent and almost farcical. Our lives were populated by concrete and pollution, not woods, trails, or wildlife. But one brilliant morning, a man came into my elementary school to shatter that assumption.

Britain's Prince William caught Covid-19 in April
Britain's Prince William contracted Covid-19 in April at a similar time to his father, the heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles, a source close to his Kensington Palace office said. William, 38, grandson of Queen Elizabeth and second-in-line to the British throne, kept his diagnosis a secret because he did not want to alarm the country, said The Sun newspaper, which first reported the news.

BANGKOK (AP) — Crossing more borders, the new coronavirus hit a milestone Friday, infecting more than 100,000 people worldwide as it wove itself deeper into the daily lives of millions, infecting the powerful, the unprotected poor and the vast masses in between.
Anti-Immigrant Nationalism Is Poisoning the Streets of London
The anti-immigrant sentiments stoked by pro-Brexit forces are becoming increasingly palpable on the streets of London. They have led to a documented rise in racist violence throughout the United Kingdom, but they are also showing up in more mundane and subtle ways, such as at the neighborhood grocery store.

Notes from the Senate: October revenues top last year
October revenues came in at an eye-popping 17.7 percent increase. Looking back, October of a year ago was negative due to a substantial number of refunds that were released in that month. So it is no surprise that October of 2018 would show a big increase. Some analysts are saying the prospects for continued growth at these high levels will come to a screeching halt in January when new withholding rates will reflect the doubling of the individual deduction tied to the tax cut passed last session.
Weekly report from Senator Jack Hill
May’s revenues report completes 11 months of the fiscal year and while the level of refunds going out of the treasury can affect the revenue total, you just get the feeling that revenues are slowing to a crawl. May’s revenues totaled $1.7 billion but increased only $31.4 million or 1.8 percent. Individual income taxes, half of state revenues, limped in at a 1.4 percent increase. Inside those numbers, Refunds were up $26 million.
Meghan Markle Will Have Two Wedding Dresses
Time to take the fevered speculation about who will design Meghan Markle’s wedding dress and double it. Sources close to Markle say that the actress is having two dresses custom made for her May 19 wedding—an elaborate yet traditional bridal gown for the ceremony and reception, and a glamorous, more sophisticated dress for the evening. “She will have two dresses, one for the ceremony and another dress for the evening,” revealed a source.

Ripple Effect of Poor Auto Manufacturing Threatens Consumer Safety
Porsche rolled out its line of Cayenne sport-utility vehicles with carefree cruising in mind. Volkswagen did the same think with its Touareg models. Now, about 125,000 of the upscale SUVs have been recalled because of fuel leaks and fire dangers. Porsche’s share of the recalled SUVs amounts to 50,000. Volkwsagen’s is higher at 75,000. The problem originates with the pump’s filter flange, which can develop cracks.
What Does the Cures Act Really Mean for Patients?
When signed by President Obama last December, the 21st Century Cures Act—which was the culmination of seven revisions written after the House of Representatives first introduced it in January 2015—was applauded by some as a huge step toward getting much-needed drugs and medical devices to the patients who need them.

Britain's Cameron in Germany to pursue quest for EU changes
Cameron was in the Alps Thursday for a meeting of the Christian Social Union, the Bavaria-only sister party to Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives. He arrived Wednesday evening, when Merkel also was there. Cameron has committed to holding a referendum on Britain's EU membership by the end of 2017. Before that, he is seeking a new deal for Britain, most controversially including welfare limits for other EU nationals intended to control migration.

British premier says ministers can campaign for 'Brexit' - The Monitor: AP News
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron says government ministers will be able to campaign on either side in an in-or-out referendum on European Union membership. The move is a bid to avert a showdown with anti-EU forces in his Conservative Party. Cameron has committed to holding a referendum on Britain's membership in the 28-nation bloc by the end of 2017. He says he will argue to stay in, as long as he gets a new deal for Britain.
British premier says ministers can campaign for 'Brexit'
Cameron has committed to holding a referendum on Britain's membership in the 28-nation bloc by the end of 2017. He says he will argue to stay in, as long as he gets a new deal for Britain. But Cameron told lawmakers Tuesday that "it will be open to individual ministers to take a different personal position" to that of the government. Cameron hopes to hold the referendum later this year. But his goals — especially welfare limits intended to control migration — face opposition from other EU leaders.
