I'm an American National Guard Captain. I Didn't Enlist to Abandon our Kurdish Allies | NYT Opinion
Alan Kennedy, a captain in the Colorado Army National Guard who served this summer in northern Syria, condemns President Trump’s decision to fully withdraw American troops from the area and abandon our Kurdish allies to a Turkish incursion. He calls a recently negotiated 120-hour cease-fire, which reports suggest Turkey has already violated, “too little too late.” He fears that the lack of American commitment and credibility has cleared the way for an ethnic cleansing of the Kurds and a resurgence of the Islamic State.
Captain Kennedy’s concerns echo the sentiments of soldiers who have had to abandon their posts reluctantly, and lawmakers who on Wednesday delivered a resounding and rare bipartisan rebuke of President Trump’s actions in Syria.

7 Days in Syria: How a Trump Decision Led to Total Chaos | NYTimes
On Sunday Oct. 6, President Trump announced that Turkey would move forward with an offensive in northeast Syria after U.S. troops pulled out of the area. Since then, American-allied Kurdish forces have been under attack, over 200,000 people have been displaced and the threat of ISIS’s resurgence looms. Our video traces how we got here in just one week.

Why You’re in a Police Lineup, Right Now | NYT Opinion
Face-recognition technology is the new norm. You may think, “I’ve got nothing to hide,” but we all should be concerned.
It's being used to unlock phones, clear customs, identify immigrants and solve crimes. In the Video Op-Ed above, Clare Garvie demands the United States government hit pause on face recognition. She argues that while this convenient technology may seem benign to those who feel they have nothing to hide, face recognition is something we should all fear. Police databases now feature the faces of nearly half of Americans — most of whom have no idea their image is there. The invasive technology violates citizens’ constitutional rights and is subject to an alarming level of manipulation and bias.
Our privacy, our right to anonymity in public and our right to free speech are in danger. Congress must declare a national moratorium on the use of face-recognition technology until legal restrictions limiting its use and scope can be developed. Without restrictions on face recognition, America’s future is closer to a Chinese-style surveillance state than we’d like to think.

Why Can't I Make Money Off My N.C.A.A. Career? | NYT Opinion
California’s initiative to allow college athletes to profit from their talent is a boon especially for women and competitors in sports without pro leagues.
An exuberant top-scoring floor routine by U.C.L.A.’s Katelyn Ohashi went viral this year, making her one of the most famous college gymnasts ever. But N.C.A.A rules prevented Ohashi from making any money from the performance. In this Video Op-Ed, Ohashi argues that college students should be given the ability to earn income from their athletic achievement.
Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California signed a law to do just that. The Fair Pay to Play Act, would allow college athletes to strike endorsement deals, a move that would transform the entire business model of college sports. Changing the rules would be especially beneficial for women and athletes in sports that lack professional leagues.
But California’s changes aren’t scheduled to take effect until 2023, and that leaves the N.C.A.A. plenty of time to mount challenges to the law. If the law is upheld, the N.C.A.A. will have to decide whether to penalize California’s universities with fines, or even expel them from the association. For now, California is betting that the huge size of its college system, and its influence in college sports, will make that impossible.

Is New York City an Empire in Decline? | NYT Opinion
New York City was built on big, bold ideas. The vision of past leaders kept New Yorkers in town and captured the imaginations of millions from around the world who came here to “make it.” In the Video Op-Ed above, Mara Gay, a native New Yorker who has reported on the streets of this city for seven years, questions where all that vision is today. She argues that New York’s current leaders need to bring big ambition and hustle to serve their residents. She supplies ideas of what vision could look like to a mayor whose reluctant homecoming offers dim hope for the city. New Yorkers, she says, deserve more.
This isn’t just a New York story — it’s a trend in many cities around the world, where broad public programs are pushed aside for narrow corporate interests and where transformative polices are as hard to come by as affordable rents.

Watch Joaquin Phoenix Do a Creepy Dance in ‘Joker’ | Anatomy of a Scene
A run-down bathroom with a flickering fluorescent light, a swooning piece of music and some slow, deliberate moves. Those spare ingredients go into crafting this downbeat but memorable moment from “Joker.”
When the scene begins, Arthur Fleck (a.k.a. the Joker, played by Joaquin Phoenix) has just had an intense, life-defining moment and finds a bathroom to collect and calm himself. He does so with a dance that the director Todd Phillips said Phoenix came up with on the day of the shoot. In his narration, Phillips discusses the music (by Hildur Gudnadottir), and how he and Phoenix came to change the scene from what was in the script.

MoMA just reopened on Monday, and our critic gave the curators an A+ for effort. And this is just the beginning. The museum is still very much in progress, with a series of inaugural satellite shows drawn from the permanent collection, and new commissions. “The rise in the number of artists who are non-male, nonwhite and non-Western is thrilling and attests to the curators’ hard work,” our critic @robertasmithnyt writes. Some 60 galleries will be reconceptualized on a regular basis, with a third rehung every 6 months — and photography and architecture will be paired with paintings, drawings, prints and even performance. “It’s moving away from ideas like ‘masterpieces’ and ‘breakthroughs,’ to a kind of art history of dispersion,” observed Michael Lobel, a professor of art history at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center.

Since their debut in the 1930s, toy soldiers have hardly changed. They stand 2 to 3 inches tall. They are made of plastic. They carry lethal weapons. And they have been, almost without exception, male. But that is set to change, thanks in part to an indignant 6-year-old from Little Rock, Arkansas, named Vivian Lord. “Why do you not make girl army men, my friend’s mom is in the army too!!” Vivian wrote in a letter, which her mom sent to 3 toy companies. Next year, one of the toy companies will, for the first time, release toy soldiers depicting women in combat roles in the American military after Vivian’s complaints spurred widespread media coverage. @houstoncofield took these photos of Vivian and her letter.

Can you imagine if the Guggenheim were pink? That was the original plan of Frank Lloyd Wright, who created the spiraling city square that elevates the artwork it houses. The building turned 60 on Monday. Happy birthday to one of modern architecture’s transcendent achievements! Its spiral ramp has defeated generations of curators trying to figure out how to install exhibitions on it, but its original purpose was to be a container for Solomon R. Guggenheim’s private collection of Non-Objective art: a vast collection of Kandinskys and Arps — and Rebays. “Such lofty art naturally demanded a home befitting its spiritual potential — a temple, in effect, that was itself pure, abstract and uplifting,” writes Michael Kimmelman, our architecture critic. “To an evangelist and egomaniac like Wright, the assignment seemed karmic.” Tap the link in our bio to see the sketch of the building imagined in bright pink, and make sure to follow @nytarchives for more photos.

Jessica Meir and Christina Koch made history on Friday. The NASA astronauts, seen here working on the International Space Station, conducted the first all-female spacewalk and reached a milestone for NASA: the first women-only venture in more than 5 decades of spacewalking. The first all-female spacewalk was supposed to take place in March, but it was postponed because NASA did not have 2 spacesuits readily available that would fit the astronauts. Koch is also scheduled to break the record for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, so that she can provide researchers time to observe the effects of long-duration spaceflight on a woman’s body. Scheduled to return to Earth in February, she is expected to spend 328 days in space. Tap the link in our bio for more. Video: NASA

It has quietly flourished for the past 3 decades, throughout a time when rampant gang violence and a culture of abuse among the guards made Rikers the most notorious jail in America. New York plans to close Rikers by 2026, and few will miss it when it does. But also lost will be the garden sanctuary that has provided rehabilitative horticulture therapy and a tranquil refuge from the chaos of jail. Mike Cruz, one of the inmates who works in the GreenHouse, says that he especially enjoys pruning the roses. “It’s a thinking job, it’s like a puzzle,” he said. “You need to figure out what bad stuff to cut out to get the good stuff to grow.” The GreenHouse was innovative when it was founded in the late ’80s, and now there are others, like the Insight Garden Program, which combines gardening with mindfulness training. “These gardens help repair the damage that people have been through, both in prison and in their earlier lives,” said Amy Lindemuth, a landscape architect who has helped design a garden for incarcerated women.
