Have you ever had dinner at a friend's house and been served a dish so inviting you initially thought its preparation must have been complex? I have, and one of those occasions was when my wife and I were visiting our pals Dave and Dev. On that night, Dev had something cooking in the oven and its aroma was amazing. When she served it, I was convinced it was some sort of French-style beef stew. A type of stew where she had to deeply sear each piece of beef before stewing it with the other carefully prepared ingredients. When I asked Dev how she made it, though, I quickly learned I was very wrong. It wasn't a French stew, although the person she acquired the recipe from, a man named Hughie, called it that. "Hughie (Atwood) was my mother's second partner. He was a beloved small town doctor (in Williams Lake) and a true character," Dev said. "He was a brilliant thinker and had a photographic memory, but was famously impractical. He had a few well-pr...

But shouldn't we attempt to reform the system to better serve us now, while continuing our pursuit of abolition as a long-term goal? This commonly asked question came up on The Takeaway 's episode Deep Dive: Police Abolition, on which Andrea J. Ritchie was featured as an "abolitionist teacher." Other guests argued for the importance of shoring up the police force with further training and better pay as a final or interim solution.

Taking to Twitter to respond to other guests, Ritchie states that "the bridge to the future we want lies in where we invest resources now, not in continuing to shackle our imaginations to the violence of policing or the failed idea that we can somehow contain it." She and Kaba argue in "Why We Don't Say 'Reform the Police,'" an excerpt published in The Nation , that policing in the United States, ...

[Photo/IC] Three central government departments have launched a special regulatory campaign against art training institutions after recent allegations of sexual harassment committed by the founder of a well-known art institution caught attention online. Jointly run by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security and the State Administration for Market Regulation, the campaign will strictly address any sexual assault and harassment against students by people working at the institutions, according to a release by the Ministry of Education on Wednesday. It also targets institutions without licensing and tutors without qualifications, and aims to root out misconduct including false advertising, pricing fraud and helping students cheat in art exams. Local governments should enhance cooperation among different agencies, the departments said, and a national and local reporting mechanism will be set up to receive tips from the public. Chinese s...
