Rock Arch Washed Away

From the BBC -

Malta's Azure Window collapses into the sea


Malta's famous Azure Window rock arch has collapsed into the sea after heavy storms.

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said the news was "heartbreaking".

A study in 2013 said that while erosion was inevitable, the structure was not in imminent danger of collapsing, the Times of Malta reports.


The popular limestone arch on Gozo island was featured on the first episode of the HBO series Game of Thrones and in several films.

Honoring Teachers

From OZY -

WE SHOULD BUILD STATUES FOR TEACHERS
By Fiona Zublin

Building statues is one way communities decide on, and indicate to the world, what they value. There are statues of generals, presidents, reformers, ministers, Oscar Wilde and, in the Loire Valley, a jarringly naked statue of Leonardo da Vinci. What we don’t have are statues honoring the thousands of extraordinary teachers who, day in and day out, motivate American youth, keep them from dropping out, spend their summers crafting lesson plans and make a visible, lasting difference.

How Get Out deconstructs racism for white people
“Stay woke.”
By Aja Romano

Get Out ingeniously uses common horror tropes to reveal truths about how pernicious racism is in the world. It doesn’t walk back any of its condemnations by inserting a “white savior” or making overtures to pacifism and tolerance. No: In this film, white society is a conscious purveyor of evil, and Chris must remain alert to its benevolent racism. He has to in order to survive.
