Just saw OPPENHEIMER, an in-depth character exploration of the people who built the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that killed a quarter million Japanese civilians. Film is 3 hours long and features zero Japanese people. – at Pomona, CA
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The film ´´Oppenheimer ´´ is a biographical drama based entirely on the life of the physicist Robert Oppenheimer. There are no records of him ever meeting a Japanese person so it would not make sense to create such scene as the project is a biopic, not a work of fiction nme.com/news/film/chri… edition.cnn.com/2023/07/20/ent…

How Climate Change Can Supercharge Snowstorms

Less snow is falling in a warming world, but higher temperatures also allow the air to hold more water, creating additional precipitation.

No one should feel ashamed for getting a degree in the humanities. Lack of engagement with literature, history, and critical thinking is the reason millions are marching headlong into fascism. The humanities hold back the long night.

Julie Fucking Mancini was a force of nature. I grew to understand that my mother's impact on Portland, and the world, is beyond what I can grasp. She connected and inspired so many. If you are one of the lucky ones please enjoy & share a Julie story. Juliefuckingmancini.com

Unimaginable heat in China 🇨🇳 The longevity and intensity of the heatwave is hard to comprehend. Too many heat records to count, both day and night. Beibei hit 45°C for two consecutive and some places not falling below 34°C at night. The heat is ongoing...

#PellGrants remain the most effective federal investment in college affordability, but the current award covers less than one-third of the average cost of attending a four-year public college — the lowest share in more than 40 years. As #PellTurns50, it’s time to #DoublePell!
#PellTurns50 Over the past 50 years, the Pell Grant program has made college possible for 80 million students. Graphic has a white background and two gradient circles in red and navy.

It’s weird how when the Buffalo shooting happened, there wasn’t this whole movement to arm the cashiers… or black people.
