Saturday Link Love: Hunger, High School, and the Hulk

Saturday Link Love is a feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier.

As Venezuela Collapses, Children Are Dying of Hunger, on New York Times—“For many low-income families, the crisis has completely redrawn the social landscape.”

Teachers Around The Country React To Investigation Into Ballou High School, on NPREd—“So far the reaction has been swift and strong to our investigation into Ballou High School in Washington D.C., where we shed light on chronic absenteeism and a pressure teachers say they felt to pass failing students and get them to graduation.”

The Force Belongs To Us: THE LAST JEDI’s Beautiful Refocusing of Star Wars, on Film Crit Hulk! Hulk Blog!—“In fact there’s a number of moments in the film that seem like direct refutations to the mystery box questions that were vaguely teased as maybe kinda sorta being deeply important.”

The Soviet Era’s Deadliest Scientist Is Regaining Popularity in Russia, on The Atlantic—“The fact that even some ‘qualified scientists’ are lionizing Lysenko shows just how pervasive anti-Western sentiment is in some circles: Even science is perverted to promote ideology.”
