Maybe We Can Have Jane Bond After We Finish This 3rd Reconstruction - Saturday Night OT

 

 

Gorgeous day today where I was(though of course I wasn’t ready  - again – for the dip and then the leap in temperature)  & thankful the rain didn’t fall on anyone in Selma

 

 

I was caught between two REALLY  different sets of headlines last night and today

 

I also heard something I’d like to direct everyone’s attention to who felt like they might not have had time to parse the national significance of what’s going on right now in the American Confederate South

 

The woman in this clip -- the Hear Me Out On This lady -- has something to say that I hope everyone here has a minute (literally) to pay attention to

 

She has something to say about Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu and how she elucidates a particular theory about shared self-interest (it’s Professor Derrick Bell’s theory – his name isn’t mentioned here; I just happen to be familiar with his work as well)

 

I know Dr. Shola’s teachings (and I bet there are also others here who do) - but this White lady (who doesn’t give her name) had not heard of her before even though she was sitting on this panel with her

Again – on this nationally historic day I hope everyone can find just a few moments out of this nice day to listen to what she has to say

and now -- apparently the casting search for the next actor to play James Bond is officially underway, with Variety reporting that Nina Gold (who cast "Game of Thrones") has been hired as the casting director

so

Somebody told me Theo James does not want the gig (I just saw him with Sir Ben Kingsley in "Backstabbing for Beginners" - yes, I know) -- can anyone confirm or deny?
