This is like learning that the fax machine was invented when samurai still existed
I know these shows were contemporary and watched both of them at least sometimes, but the vibe of this photo is still shocking to me

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Alcohol is legal in every state
Doctors say it's possible to get hooked on pot. There's a widespread misconception that marijuana is not addictive, and it's expanded as a growing number of states legalize pot.

I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

What is really going on in this society that elected Donald Trump president a second time?
I wrote about three stubborn myths about Trump’s support – and why America has experienced a de-alignment rather than a rightward realignment.

Concerns about decorum — being gauche — is for strivers. There is power in flaunting those norms, as we have seen. So it may be but in the words of the philosopher Nene Leakes, they may be posing to us the question, “who gonna check me boo?” For which we have yet to give a good answer.
I hear this but isn’t that a really gauche thing to do? Like it advertises how tone deaf they are - is that the point?

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."
