When we talk about reparations for slavery, others say, “It’s complicated.”
Well, this is not complicated.
The residents- and everyone affected by this deserves to be offered reparations and an apology.
And that land developed for and with that community.
If not, what’s the lesson learned here?

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

Part 2 of my lovely talk with PLURIBUS' @sambaschutte.bsky.social about what he took from his character's name and Mauritanian culture, the difference between working on PLURIBUS and OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH, and accidentally embarrassing Vince Gilligan:
"I'm like, 'No, just embrace the compliment!'”
"I'm like, 'No, just embrace the compliment!'”
Pluribus star says his character's secret backstory is hidden in his name
Our Flag Means Death's Samba Schutte explains how he and Vince Gilligan shaped Koumba Diabaté, and explains his radical choices in episode 6, "HDP."

I stopped at a Barnes and Noble today… they told me they were bought out by an investment firm and the firm got rid of all the chairs.
We should kill private equity before it’s too late.
I’m sick of this.
They took toy r us and now my B&N?

Day 8: The fact that Stede flashes back to this moment when he is missing Ed in Season 2 shows it's definitely something he remembered in detail, the red silk tucked in his purple suit (with butterflies in his hair).
