A Thousand Yards notes:

- It being Jackie’s 60th birthday made me google Paula Newsome, and she’s apparently 62 (how??!), also I could swear she was meant to be a few years younger than Vance (born in ‘63)

- I thought of Lee Wuan Kai when Vance collapsed- something about it seemed like her

- Air Force One!!! Our very first episode

- I love these recent seasons’ Curtis Hubley resurgence, and we got a ‘probie’ mention

- Jared’s agent behavior was very sweet

- Kasie got to namedrop the title!

- Sniper on a rooftop? Oof

- Morrow family crypt, Dr. Kate’s sister mention, Chucky(!) mention, and poor Fornell- his garage is his office (also Knight needs to brush up on her history)

- How hard would it have been to get a NOLA cast member?

- McGee putting his foot in his mouth! Also McDirector returns

- Vance looking to Parker for advice like he would Gibbs was just ❤️

- I appreciated Parker’s stance on billionaires- a nice change from ‘Left Unsaid’, using the name ‘Voss’ was a risky move, considering the plot of ‘Dead Man Talking’ (also the actor was in ‘One Shot, One Kill’)

- Somebody not being able to get into MTAC- fun times

- Jared being manipulated online? Come on, seriously?

- Bringing drinks to the lab- nice Abby reference

- They missed an opportunity for the Adams House

- Everybody giving Lindsey Wexler death stares was great

- Fornell and a couch? Hmm

- Well, the conspiracy theory about Jackie was right

- Rule 39! One of my favorites

- Camera-clicking in a ball cap and another Gibbs reference!

- Gaslit? Facepalm but a GREMLIN MENTION makes up for it

- His name was Leonard Rush, writers :/, also I knew Lindsey would be the daughter of someone from the early days, but I didn’t guess him

- Threat to Air Force One- full-circle moment!

- William Baer Jr. was a relatively-obscure reference, I approve

- Driving through the gates- a very Gibbs move, more approval

- They did a great job making Vance look younger, and we got a flashback montage right back to ‘Hung Out To Dry’, although I wish they’d included Reeves, Abby, and Jenny

- Bringing up how they never get credit omg

Overall, this was a great episode that took us right back to the beginning. Here’s to all those to come

Der "Tatort" im Schnellcheck Alle lieben Lukas! Oder? Von Ingo Scheel 30.04.2022, 15:30 Uhr Ein junger IT-Spezialist wird ermordet aufgefunden, für die Eltern und seine Freundin bricht eine Welt zusammen. Die Tat, ein einziges Rätsel: Lukas Keller war allseits beliebt. "Warum", so lautet der Titel des Franken-Tatorts. Eine Frage, die sich möglicherweise auch die Zuschauer stellen. Was passiert? Seine Mutter hat das gemeinsame Essen vorbereitet, ein gutes Glas Wein dazu, die Freude auf das Wiedersehen mit dem geliebten Sohn ist wie immer riesig. Doch der Braten verschmort, es wird später Abend und Lukas ist einfach nicht erschienen. Kein Anruf, keine Erklärung, völlig untypisch für den sonst so zuverlässigen jungen Mann. Der Grund ist überaus tragisch: Lukas Keller (Caspar Schuchman) ist einem Verbrechen zum Opfer gefallen. In der Nähe des Sportvereins hat man seine Leiche gefunden, mit durchgeschnittener Kehle und übelst zugerichtet. So tragisch der Mord für die Eltern, Marie (Valentina Sauca) und Fritz Keller (Karl Markovics), und Lukas' Freundin Mia (Julia Engelbrecht) ist, so rätselhaft ist er für das Team um Felix Voss (Fabian Hinrichs) und Paula Ringelhahn (Dagmar Manzel). Wer könnte etwas gegen Lukas gehabt haben, einen überall beliebten, jungen Mann, ohne Feinde oder Leichen im Keller? Tatort-Fans ahnen es natürlich: Irgendwo lauert auch auf den tollsten Typen das Böse - und das oftmals in nächster Nähe. Worum geht es wirklich? Das Ex-Paar kommt sich wieder näher: Fritz Keller (Karl Markovics) und Marie Keller (Valentina Sauca). (Foto: BR/Hager Moss Film GmbH/Hagen Keller) Der Titel deutet es mehr als nur an: Vieles in diesem sogenannten Franken-Tatort, dem achten seit dem Start vor fast genau sieben Jahren, dreht sich um die Frage nach dem Motiv. Wer, warum, wieso hat den Eltern, der Freundin, den Kollegen, den geliebten Sohn, Lebenspartner, Kumpel genommen. Wie schon beim Auftakt vor ziemlich genau sieben Jahren - und bei zwei weiteren Fällen - hat Max Färberböck ("Aimée und Jaguar") Regie geführt, ihm zur Seite stand das 'Gründungsteam' mit Catharina Schuchmann und Stephanie Heckner. "Der Tatort: 'Warum' erzählt, wie ein Leben von einer Sekunde zur anderen den Boden verliert und wir feststellen müssen, dass nichts, aber auch gar nichts sicher ist", so Heckner. "Er erzählt auch, dass Menschen selbst in der Bodenlosigkeit einer solchen Situation einander noch Halt geben können. Darin liegt die Menschlichkeit dieser Geschichte." Wegzapp-Moment? Der Volume-Schalter hat hier zwei Einstellungen: Laut. Und leise. Dazwischen geht diesmal wenig. Besonders die leisen Szenen fordern Geduld ein, stehen sie doch für einen "Tatort", der mehr am seelischen Zustand seiner Figuren als am kurzweiligen Entertainment seiner Zuschauer interessiert ist. Wow-Faktor? Mehr zum Thema Überschaubar. Kein "Tatort" fürs große "Wow" oder den Kantinentalk am Tag danach, vielmehr ein ruhiges, trauervolles Dahingleiten mit einem Showdown, der … nun ja … am besten selbst anschauen. Wie war's? 5 von 10 Punkten - zähe Trauerarbeit, subtile Bedrohung, das alles stimmungsvoll, aber nur mäßig spannend

New story in Politics from Time: How Republican Governor Matt Bevin Lost Teachers and Lost Kentucky

Matt Bevin, the notoriously unpopular Republican governor of Kentucky, appears to have narrowly lost his bid for reelection in the deep-red state. And experts say the teachers who led statewide walkouts last year are the reason why.

Kentucky was one of several red states that saw mass protests last year by educators who were fed up with years of education budget cuts and low pay. In Kentucky, teachers called in sick to protest the passage of a bill overhauling the state’s public pension system, arguing it left educators with less generous retirement benefits and would further discourage new teachers from entering the profession.

While there were several big issues at stake in this gubernatorial election on Tuesday — including abortion access and Medicaid expansion— political experts say Bevin’s attacks on public education and his criticism of teachers likely sealed his fate and buoyed Democrat Andy Beshear, who led the vote by a margin of about 5,000 votes and declared victory Tuesday night, although Bevin has not yet conceded.

“[Bevin] committed a series of unforced errors in his battle with the teachers’ unions, using much more provocative language than necessary, much more combative language than necessary,” Stephen Voss, an associate professor of political science at the University of Kentucky, tells TIME.

Meanwhile, Beshear—who proposed a $2,000 pay raise for public school teachers, promised to raise their starting salary to $40,000 and pushed for student-loan forgiveness for educators—specifically thanked union members while declaring victory on Tuesday night. Bevin had criticized those plans as promises on which Beshear would be unable to deliver.

“Tonight, voters in Kentucky sent a message loud and clear for everyone to hear. It’s a message that says our elections don’t have to be about right versus left. They are still about right versus wrong,” Beshear said Tuesday. “That our values, and how we treat each other, is still more important than our party. That what unites us as Kentuckians is still stronger than any national divisions.”

For months, Bevin, who was elected in 2015, has been one of the most unpopular governors in the country, according to polling by Morning Consult. His disapproval rating increased sharply to 57% in early 2018, when the teacher walkouts took place in Kentucky. In the latest survey—conducted from July 1 through Sept. 30—53% of respondents disapproved of Bevin, and just 34% approved.

Paula Setser-Kissick was a registered Republican until August 2017, when she asked a question about teachers’ retirement eligibility during a Facebook Live Q&A with Bevin, who lashed out, saying, “If you happen to be a teacher who would walk out on your classroom in order to serve what’s in your own personal best interest at the expense of your children, you probably should retire.”

In response, Setser-Kissick — a digital learning coach for Fayette County Public Schools — registered as a Democrat, ran (unsuccessfully) for a state senate seat on an education-focused platform, and spent the last four months door-knocking for Beshear in Fayette County, where he ultimately won 65% of the vote.

“As the numbers show, our work made a difference, and we’re pretty proud of that,” says Setser-Kissick, 54, who hopes Beshear will solve the problems with the state’s pension plan, fully fund public education and limit the expansion of charter schools in the state.

During the past two years, Bevin has continued to insult teachers. In April 2018, he accused teachers of leaving children vulnerable to sexual assault and drug use during the statewide walkout. “I guarantee you somewhere in Kentucky today, a child was sexually assaulted that was left at home because there was nobody there to watch them,” he said. “Children were harmed — some physically, some sexually, some were introduced to drugs for the first time — because they were vulnerable and left alone.”

A year later, he suggested that teachers were to blame for the shooting of a 7-year-old girl, who was at home during another round of teacher “sick-outs” in March. She was reportedly being cared for by her legal guardian when she was accidentally shot by her 11-year-old brother.

And during a gubernatorial debate last month, Bevin doubled down once again, saying he regretted none of his previous comments about educators.

“I think it’s safe to say the sick-outs definitely played a part in his defeat. Let’s face it, they grabbed the public’s attention. When that happened, it focused the public’s attention on the bad behavior of both the governor and the legislature,” Setser-Kissick said. “I think Andy Beshear’s election reflected how Kentuckians were disgusted with such ugly attacks from an elected official.”

On the campaign trail, Beshear often pointed to Bevin’s teacher-related remarks as evidence that he was “unfit to govern.”

“A lot of people really just see Gov. Bevin as being very abrasive in his style,” says Thomas Matijasic, a history professor at Big Sandy Community and Technical College in Prestonsburg, Ky., and an expert in Kentucky politics. “He really, really insulted a lot of teachers. That might not seem to be a big deal in another state, but I think in Kentucky, where a far lower percentage of people have college degrees, teachers kind of form the core of the middle class, especially in rural areas, and I think there was a really negative impact. Even a lot of teachers who were registered Republicans disliked him.”

In his reelection bid, Bevin aligned himself closely with President Donald Trump, who hosted a rally for Bevin in Lexington, Ky., on the night before the election. His narrow loss in a state Trump won by 30 points in 2016 could now signal potential trouble for Trump’s path to reelection in 2020, especially because Bevin was the Republican candidate in Kentucky who tied himself closest to Trump in both political support and rhetorical style, says Voss. And while Bevin lost, Republicans won the other key state offices that were up for election in Kentucky.

“It’s not a general repudiation of the Republican Party,” Voss says of Bevin’s loss.

Bevin has not yet conceded, and he requested a recanvass of the election on Wednesday — a process in which county election officials check voting machines and absentee ballots to confirm all votes were counted and reported correctly.

But educators and their advocates have already celebrated the election outcome as a win for public education. “This victory demonstrates the power of educators and how the #RedforEd movement is reshaping the political landscape in Kentucky and across the nation,” National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen García said in a statement. “Educators are empowered and engaged like never before, and they made their presence felt in this election. They invested their shoe leather marching and going door to door. They spent their nights and weekends on the phone, calling voters.”

In Kentucky, even Republican educators say they’re looking forward to change, even if it comes in the form of a Democratic governor.

“Teachers don’t have summers off anymore, they don’t make a lot of money, and they’re certainly not respected by the governor who’s in there currently,” says Charles Clark, the assistant principal at Rowan County Middle School in Morehead, Ky. “I’m hoping that the governor-elect will be much more respectful. And based upon what he’s said and what his actions have been to this point, I think that will be the case.”

Clark, 41, ran in a Republican primary last year against incumbent state Rep. Jill York because he thought she wasn’t a strong enough advocate for public education. (York, who was endorsed in the primary by the Kentucky Education Association, was reelected.)

But Clark hopes that Bevin’s loss sends a message to politicians throughout Kentucky. A registered Republican, he says he did not vote for Bevin, even though he voted for other Republicans on the ballot.

“I hope they realize that how you treat people matters, that trying to degrade or downplay a profession… doesn’t work,” Clark says. “You can’t belittle the largest workforce in the state and expect to keep your office. When you’re supposed to be a representative democracy and you’re not representing your people, then you’re going to lose.”
