  1. A new Blu-ray release has made Yuri Norstein’s films far more accessible in the U.S., collecting famous shorts and rarer restorations including his debut.
  2. Norstein’s debut, The 25th – The First Day (1968), is unlike his later poetic character films: it has no plot or familiar characters and works as a music-driven "revolutionary étude" timed to Shostakovich.
  3. Although it looks like propaganda, the film was criticized and partially censored in the Soviet era and can be read as a layered, personal meditation on a past epoch rather than a straightforward celebration of the October Revolution.

🌞 Climate & Environment Restoration
  1. Lake Washington's water level is controlled artificially now, which is different from how it used to fluctuate naturally by as much as nine feet each year. This change was mainly due to the building of the Lake Washington Ship Canal in 1916.
  2. The current management of the lake helps local properties but is not good for the environment. Plants that normally thrive with seasonal changes are struggling because they can't grow properly in the constant water level.
  3. Union Bay has seen a lot of restoration work from being a dump to a vibrant natural space. It shows that even after mistakes, communities can come together to create a healthier ecosystem.
