We typically don’t. The conservative synagogues in my hometown were really concerned about the Darfur genocide; hosting fundraisers and awareness campaigns. They all had signs out front that said “Never Again…in Darfur” but when it comes to Palestinians, the Boomers are just SO rabid.
You’re right; the Jewish community should do better and all the American Jews who send money and make major political donations should demand more, especially given our history.
I’m a Museum Studies grad. Most Museum Studies programs are curatorial in nature - collections management, education curricula, label writing etc. Those programs are typically second Master’s degrees; you go get a PhD in something to become a content specialist, then get a Museum Studies degree to move into being a curator. UArts was so unique because it was focused on exhibition design regardless of content. We were not content specialists and it made us great because we didn’t have a PhD to turn into boring-as-shit exhibit labels; we designed interactive exhibits, did a lot of our own graphic design and fabrication, and focused on visitor experiences first, second, and last. It was the only program for dorks who love museums and want everyone else to love them too, instead of an afterthought or vanity project to add to your resume.
Plus I made some of my best friends of my life there.
I got a master’s degree at UArts over 10 years ago. It was such a unique program, I’m not sure any other school offers it (certainly not one like it) and I’m sure a lot of students that are being promised “seamless” transitions to local universities will find they have nowhere to go.
I loved my time at UArts. Such a shame.
Traffic Jam.
It’s got a bunch of different berries and rhubarb sometimes. Slovacacek’s on I35 outside Waco makes the best.
He’s actually been around since the Soviet Union. He perfected the art of invisible paper pushing.
I’m moving into a retirement community. Get in there early enough and they have to take care of you until you die. But before that point, retirement communities are like dorms without having to worry about grades or getting pregnant. Lotta syphilis, though, I hear.
You don’t think he’s spending any of that on his campaign or legal fees, do you? That’s his money.
His fundraising is going historically terrible right now.
I’ve seen lots of speculation that Trumbo is trying to get himself thrown in jail for the publicity of it all. It would result in a huge fundraising boost and conservative outrage, even if just for a short while, and no one wants to give him the satisfaction.
It’s this. He testified today, and earlier against Cohen, in exchange for immunity for crimes that he willfully and knowingly committed.
Actually, he’s trying to stay out of prison now.
Yeah, those are all pasta. Spaghetti is all the long noodles.
The Renaissance is not “some homogeneous past”, it’s a pretty specific time period: the 15th and 16th centuries.
I’m betting on this guy not lasting until November 2024 (not sure what the over/under is on November 17, 2023).
Training a dog requires appropriate discipline, sufficient exercise + stimulation, adequate positive reinforcement, and most importantly of all: consistency.
So no, most people do not bother.
It’s just not sustainable. Lab-grown meat is here, it just needs to get to scale, get a bit cheaper and boom. Farming and killing animals for food will be obsolete.
It’s glorious and should be registered as a National Landmark.
It looks just like my grandparents house from the mid 60s. My grandmother still has a wall of mirrors in her condo now.
