Products were positioned as socially transformative\u00a0(\u2018We\u2019re Teen, We\u2019re Queer, and We\u2019ve Got Email\u2019). I was strangely moved by an article about Santa Monica\u2019s Public Electronic Network, an online town hall used by the city\u2019s homeless and wealthy alike.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>There are around 117,000 speakers of Cree, an indigenous language in Canada that, to go by the sample phrases in this piece, we would do well to save\u2014and to learn ourselves: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/jun\/07\/cree-language-first-nation-canadians-100-days-of-cree\" target=\"_blank\">With entries ranging from\u00a0pw\u00e2kamo-pahkw\u00easikan, the Cree word for pizza\u2014\u2018the throw-up bread\u2019 in literal English\u2014to\u00a0m\u00f4niy\u00e2w-matotis\u00e2n, a sauna or a \u2018white-man sweat,\u2019 a crowdsourcing project documenting the vitality and evolution of the most widely spoken indigenous language in\u00a0Canada\u00a0is about to be published<\/a>. Neal McLeod, a poet and indigenous studies professor at Trent University, set out to connect with other Cree speakers on Facebook, aiming to gather together classical Cree vocabulary and to \u2018coin and develop\u2019 words relating to contemporary life \u2026 \u2018One of the things on my bucket list \u2026 is to translate <em>Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope <\/em>into Cree,\u2019 writes McLeod, before laying out Cree for <em>Attack of the Clones<\/em>: <em>k\u00e2-m\u00f4sk\u00eest\u00e2k\u00eacik aniki k\u00e2-nipahi-n\u00e2h-naspit\u00e2tocik<\/em>, \u2018literally, \u201cwhen the Ones who resemble each other in an uncanny fashion attack\u201d,\u2019 and\u00a0<em>t\u00e2pw\u00ea mam\u00e2ht\u00e2wisiw awa<\/em>, \u2018the Force is strong with this one.\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>As the Soviet Union fades into the rearview mirror, it\u2019s becoming harder to find reliable, intimate accounts of life in the USSR. A new graphic novel is trying to change that: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2016\/06\/07\/drawing-iron-curtain-igort-russia-ukraine-notebooks\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Italian graphic novelist Igort went to Ukraine in 2008 and stayed for nearly two years. He met people at marketplaces and on country roads, and drew their lives<\/a>. \u2018Word by word I listen to the account of an existence that has become an undigested mass,\u2019 he writes, at the beginning of one section. \u2018It pushes its way out from the gut. The following is a faithful transcription of that story\u2019 \u2026 These phrases sum up everything that is good and everything that is not so good about\u00a0<em>The Ukrainian and Russian Notebooks: Life and Death Under Soviet Rule<\/em> \u2026 The translation, sadly, is often tone-deaf and downright sloppy\u2014the peculiarly unappetizing language in this passage is just one example. But the stories he has collected are indeed an undigested mass, often a mess, and this is a good thing.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Today in old encyclopedias: the <em>Britannica<\/em>\u2019s eleventh edition, from 1910\u201311, has earned a reputation over the past century as a grade-A reference text. What makes it so? \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.signature-reads.com\/2016\/06\/everything-explained-on-the-encyclopedia-britannica-eleventh-edition\/?ref=BEBF7DBE6741\" target=\"_blank\">I think the eleventh more than any other edition is a feat of editorial engineering. The editor, Hugh Chisholm, actually had a vision for what an encyclopedia could be and then molded together all the contents that he had to work with to create a single statement about the optimism of the age and the triumph of technology and what progress is<\/a> \u2026 Part of it is the way Chisholm templated the articles. He was a newspaper guy, Chisholm kind of looked at each one of these articles as a story. According to Janet Hogarth, who worked with him, the templates were exhaustive. Even when he didn\u2019t know what the subject was, he knew how a story should be look and feel\u2014how it should be structured.\u00a0 The result of that is a compulsive readability. There are people that sit around for hours reading the eleventh\u00a0because its just such a pleasure.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A new film festival looks at genre flicks helmed by women: \u201cThe word\u00a0<em>genre\u00a0<\/em>comes from the French\u00a0term for \u2018gender,\u2019 an etymology that&#8217;s especially salient in a kicky, wide-ranging two-week series at Film Forum that spans more than a century. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.villagevoice.com\/film\/direct-action-film-forum-s-genre-is-a-woman-honors-100-years-of-female-helmers-8677911?utm_content=buffer47216&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\" target=\"_blank\">Curated by Giulia D\u2019Agnolo Vallan, \u2018Genre Is a Woman\u2019 highlights what should be a well-known fact but is too commonly overlooked: that female directors, ever since the birth of the medium, have not limited themselves to the pink ghetto of romantic comedies and aspirational weepies<\/a>. Distaff auteurs\u2014beginning with cinema pioneer Alice Guy Blach\u00e9, whose\u00a0<em>The Pit and the Pendulum<\/em>\u00a0(1913) is likely the first-ever screen adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe\u2014have made their marks in, among others, noirs, westerns, road movies, science fiction, and grindhouse, all types of films often thought of as the sole province of their male counterparts. \u2018Genre movies\u2019 have actually been, to some degree, equal-opportunity employers.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us mourn the tech culture of the late twentieth century, which bore only a superficial resemblance to the libertarian, Objectivist, misogynist creep fest that is Silicon Valley today.
