The looming return of Jim Crow to America’s second Blackest state
Louisiana’s political system could soon look more like 1966, the end of the Jim Crow Era, than 2026, and it’s time to acknowledge the full extent of the greatest threat to the American Experiment in decades.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

I went to the vagina museum for the first time last December. It was great! I tend to think I'm fairly educated on the female anatomy and then I learned I had always called uterine tubes ovaries.
This place is great and important and it needs cash to exist. Throw in a penny if you can.

Today’s ep. sealed it—I really don’t like Vernon. He’s always going on about how perfect his family is but no matter how many times he says it he’s not selling it. Yes, he loves his family, but it’s tedious & corny & it’s a friggin’ soap opera—they’re not supposed to be perfect & no one’s buying it.

Let that sink in for a moment.
