Weekend Whats

As a news curator, I definitely picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. I’m sure you’ve been overwhelmed by Trump-related news as well. So take a break from the jaw dropping, brain-squeezing, soul-sucking, hope-smashing news from DC, and spend a little time with a person who actually did help make America great. Norman Lear is the Opposite of Trump.

+ You know how everyone keeps telling you how powerful and well done the documentary 13th is? Well, they’re right. And its look at the criminalization of African Americans couldn’t be more timely. Watch it on Netflix.

+ Since torture is back in the news, it’s a good time to go back and read Chris Hitchens’ article about the time he got waterboarded. Believe Me, It’s Torture.
