Region: United States
My top tip for the graduating class of 2013 is to “Be true to yourself”. There are so many ways to try to fit in, be successful, or financially secure. If you try to look good on the outside for others to see you as prosperous, remember that this is a façade. The real you needs to hold firm to a set of values which you promote in your life without others comments to distract you fro... more

Region: New York
The Punk exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art had giant, dazed, passive crowds the day I went (Sunday, May 19). Everyone was searching for the secret of Punk, which of course was missing. Why? Perhaps the essence of this movement isn't in its clothing. Punk was prophetic. The world we live in now, where random violence of faintly-political import strikes at Mother's Day parades in New Orleans and runni... more

Views: 631Amanda Knox: Stop Making Sense
Region: WashingtonIt is human nature to try to make sense of nonsense. In this day and age, every time we hear of another bizarre crime, our minds go to work trying to figure out how such things happen. How could a family man imprison three women for ten years in the middle of Cleveland, Ohio? We try to find the reasons. We engage in counterfactual thinking, consoling ourselves that the unforeseeable was foreseea... more

You look through a doorway into a former classroom (I presume) littered with broken glass. The wall text surprisingly identifies the glassware as "broken tea glasses," and Latifa as Moroccan. Were the glasses Moroccan?, I wonder, examining the debris. It's hard to tell -- they're broken. You can see the marks where the tea glasses were thrown against the wall (unless those marks were painted by Latifa? Or were they pre... more
