...was a beautiful movie. Not perfect: the overwhelming whiteness of life-on-the-hive-ship was jarring, and the conflation of disability, power mobility, obesity, and moral laxness was infuriating. But the good bits were gorgeous, elegant, dreamy, awe-inspiring.

The Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac news is veryconfusing. I'm a total illiterate when it comes to economics. I'm trying to decode this NPR primer on the next big crash.
