Why do so many museums and universities continue to hold the remains of Native Americans?

I’ve been thinking about that question for months. And it’s brought me down some frustrating paths.

11/ So: No, we are not publishing a story.

This is how journalism is supposed to work. Hear something. Check something. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as many times as needed.

The end.

@primetimeMitch Well said, Mitch. The main thing I’ll miss is that it (once) was a place you could turn for breaking news. And it was f*ing fast. Like, heard an explosion? You could pretty much triangulate the epicenter via tweets. But without enough people Tweeting real stuff vs AI sludge…

Denis Villeneuve: “I’ve done a lot of introspection, a lot of therapy, in order to go on being a good human being and maybe a better filmmaker,” said Villeneuve. “Being a father, there’s something about that that grounds you. But it’s true that Hollywood can drive you crazy. Some people lose it. I love to work there. But when I come back here, there’s something about Montreal, the creativity. Theatre, dance companies, music. Maybe it comes from the fact that there’s not a lot of money.

“It’s a very vibrant city and every time I come back I feel that and it nourishes me. I made the decision at one point to stay here and it might be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.” https://t.co/jqIF9twJuT

Murray has always walked into dark places with a flashlight so the rest of us can safely follow. A beam of light that cuts through injustice and shows the way to hope. Sending prayers and gratitude to him and his family who continue to be so generous in sharing him with all of us🧡

If you're part of #1 above--thank you.

If you're part of #2 above (including QT or screenshotting to dunk on them), please stop.

Conservatives live in liberal places. Liberals live in conservative places. & none of that means a damn for whether they deserve help.
