The Truly Awesome Joys Of Little Free Libraries
The guy who started them wanted to outdo Andrew Carnegie by one library – but now there are more than 75,000 Little Free Libraries across the world. “They promote a friendly, sharing economy. No one tracks who took what. There’s no due date. No fines. You might never return a book. You might leave another instead. And, they are inherently cute.”
What’s The Status Of African-American Theatre In 2018?
Robert Hooks, founder of the Negro Ensemble Company of New York and the DC Black Repertory Company, has some thoughts: “All the people that run [non-Black-specific] companies are getting the grants from the foundations I couldn’t get because they did one black play in their season. The black theater producers, the people who are in the community need the grants, and they can’t get them because the established theaters downtown are taking advantage of those grants.”
Jamie Lee Curtis Says The Success Of ‘Halloween’ Is A Victory For Women
She doesn’t just mean her demographic – women over 55, women leading a horror film – for whom she has utterly smashed movie records in the past few weeks.

The Short-Sightedness Of Killing FilmStruck And DramaFever
Sure, WarnerMedia claims that FilmStruck, DramaFever (a Korean drama service), and Super Deluxe is just a way to shutter anything that doesn’t get enough data for the new behemoth that is the combined AT&T and Warner. But that was, honestly, not very smart. “If WarnerMedia had eventually rolled FilmStruck into its bigger service, it would have been an enticing add-on for movie lovers, who are largely underserved by the big streaming services.”
Proponents Of Virtual Reality Need To Stop Pretending It’s An Empathy Machine
It’s not – no tech is, and it’s dangerous to think that VR can cause more empathy. “Imagine if I came to the conclusion that homelessness wasn’t that big a deal because I enjoyed the challenging puzzle elements in the VR experience Becoming Homeless. Even worse, imagine if I believed I now had better insight into homelessness, and that my enjoyment left me with the impression that it wasn’t as bad as I feared.”
Classic American Musicals Have Problems, But They’re Good Place To Reexamine What America Could Be
Or at least, this year, the first Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Oklahoma!, has had three different – and all radically new and different from each other, all offering new interpretations of where the United States is now (and where it was when the musical was written).
First AI-Created Art Work Sells At Auction For An Astonishing $432,000
The sale is unusual not only as a first for the 252-year-old auction house, but because the expected price for the print was between $7,000 and $10,000.
Did You Know You Could Stream Movies From The Library Of Congress?
The Library of Congress isn’t Netflix: You won’t be able to watch current Hollywood blockbusters and every season of your favorite TV show. You will, however, find historical films and newsreels ranging from Depression-era documentaries to home videos to educational series about mental health.
