The only film we watched was 1/3rd of Shoah (9 hour film)! Most of the class is really about witnesses/victims of war, as all the writing was by people who had direct experiences. Survivors. Not so much analysis/history of war (though every bit of writing needed that context as well).
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Yes, there are so many though. We actually only read 2 books of fiction. Mostly poetry, a graphic novel about Bosnia, and a couple books of non-fiction.
I teach a class on literature and war and every class starts with an anti-war or pro-war song. The Pogues version is the song that has the biggest impact on today's 18-22 yr olds; I played it early because we proceeded chronologically, and it was frequently referenced.
Now do corruption. I bet it'll track.
It's like there's an open secret in Washington about Russian assets and we're all walking around pretending it's not happening.
He didn't say that yesterday
Henry Green "Living"
Christa Wolf "Accident"
Thomas Pynchon "Bleeding Edge"
For young adults: Colin Meloy "Wildwood"
wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
Making life miserable for neighbors is maybe reckless as she describes but it's also obviously a deterrent if they feel their interests have been needlessly impacted by a war of choice. From the Iranian point of view, there's a logic to making the region (mostly aligned against them) miserable.
And of course the guy who made up pizzagate is a Republican who was actually part of the Epstein cabal. What a world.
Previous PMs? Like Blair? In Iraq?
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
And when chants of Let's Go Brandon went up, the WSJ thought it was so patriotic! They celebrated the J6ers as tourists, because they so lovingly showed their appreciation for DC police, congresspeople, and the Veep.
The Board of Peace needs to jump in and end this warmongering immediately. Or else everything is a farce.
I'd say that a loss in the BET would not hurt UConn for a 1 seed. They'll still have the head-to-head win, much better WAB, and 2 or 3 fewer losses, w/ much bigger wins in the OOC.
So what? Florida lost to Auburn! Who has Florida beaten out of conference? UConn has wins over Illinois, BYU, Kansas & Florida! They have a much better WAB score (Wins Above Bubble) & 3 fewer losses. With all these factors & the head-to-head, UConn could lose in the BET & still deserve the 1 seed.
The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
The ones I've returned to again and again in my life:
Christa Wolf and Janet Frame.
When you see their plans for fiefdom cities, it's clear they want to return to feudalism. In their delirious minds, they envision someone like Elon Musk paying enough mercenaries to take everything from them. They want to be Lords, Dukes & Barons.
Toyota just pulled the plug on their $9 billion plant in Alabama and gave it to Canada. 🇨🇦https://youtu.be/8m2M28nUcE4
The State of the Union is, we're going to start a war with Iran because the President doesn't want you to know he raped children.
Can she talk to Schumer and Jeffries?
Rice is not only precise but, in this instance, entirely correct. Democrats have no intention of playing by the old rules. Indeed, those rules no longer exist. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...
We need to let the countries who do these dirty deals that they are going to pay for this tenfold. I know we're at fault and that Cameroon and El Salvador are .000001% to blame, but hey, don't do deals with DHS.
Or maybe no one at the FBI knows where this guy is. He's either hanging out shooting craps at Las Vegas, jetsetting to Europe or following around his girlfriend's tour around the nation's dives and rec rooms (I have nothing against dives & rec rooms).
Speaking of King Georges, our guy is madder than the mad King George.
@usahockey #TEAMUSA The requirements are clear. If the US wants to win a gold in men's ice hockey, it needs to load up on Boston University players. Both the 1980 & 2026 teams were loaded with BU players.
So, does this mean Huckabee believes that the Christians of Lebanon or Palestine for that matter need to leave their homelands? The Coptic Christians of Egypt? Does he support evicting them?
Why aren't politicians all over this? Bills are up twofold. This is a major issue and I hear very little about it in the news. There are articles, yes; but Im expecting politicians running around with their hair on fire.
