I look forward to sitting with my son, when he's old enough, and watching Band of Brothers together. I know it's not a movie, but it's the best.

@AjitPai @nytimes @MikeBloomberg @karol The second dirtiest secret about American journalism, after how much it's shaped by the PR industry, is that its practitioners are largely innumerate.

@arthistorynews The final lecture I attended to end undergrad career was my art history class. I am very grateful I got a real liberal arts education before the political left killed liberal arts.
