I Grew Up Around Korean Beauty Products. Americans, You’ve Been Had.

The pedestrian origin story of the triple cleanse and snail slime face serum.

A marketing campaign can sell anything

An Abomination. A Monster. That’s Me?

Vilifying whiteness and maleness isn’t just illiberal. It’s bad politics.

Yes.

The Importance of Dumb Mistakes in College

Students deserve the chance to try out ideas without incurring the wrath of the entire internet.

"It would be nice to live in a world in which errors weren’t necessary. Or would it? Miles Davis left behind a quote that I think captures the beauty of a world in which mistakes are natural or even valued: “It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note — it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.”
Our children deserve the opportunity to play the music for themselves."

U.S. Put 92 Somalis on a Deportation Flight, Then Brought Them Back

It is exploitative.

Video Shows Daniel Shaver Pleading for His Life Before Being Shot by Officer

The video, released after an Arizona jury acquitted the officer of murder, renewed calls for reforms in law enforcement. Activists described the shooting as an execution.

Unfortunately I cannot prosecute the jury.

Jerusalem: It’s Tense, Crowded and Can Feel Like a Jail

For residents of Jerusalem, over which the world has been battling for thousands of years, everyday frictions can be draining on both sides of the Green Line.

There will be no peace in Jerusalem.

Trump, Rejecting Calls to Stay Away, Speaks at Civil Rights Museum

In Jackson, Miss., the president hailed heroes of the civil rights movement even as activists and politicians said his presence insulted the effort to confront the state’s history.

One cannot apologize for another.
I have heard no apology.

A kindly act was to use dry wood.
