Short Notes: Nas Is Like, 40 Years Old Now

Nas
A few notes:
- Check out my revamped Tumblr, where I share clips of everything I like from around the web. [MathematiquesNoir]
- These pretty math posters are going up in my classroom sooner than later. [Explore]
- Comedian Russell Brand talks about his recent scuffle with GQ over what he said about Hugo Boss. Secret activist over here. [Guardian]
- Kathy Miller, president of the Texas Freedom Network, thinks teachers should have more autonomy in curriculum decisions. Preach! [Houston Chronicle]
- A case study of what happens when desegregation plans fail. [New York Times]
Quotable:
Freedom or jail, clip’s inserted, a baby’s being born
Same time a man is murdered, the beginning and end
As far as rap go, it’s only natural I explain
My plateau, and also, what defines my name
