The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny!

I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

One thing about French crime shows, there's a 50/50 chance that the person who is supposed to be investigating the murders is actually the killer. 🤔

And Kanopy and Hoopla are available at many libraries and accessible with a library card.

The Great Courses cost $$$ to buy DVDs or stream.

Not using them, if you have access, feels like wasting money. Watched part of course on the Ottoman Empire last weekend. Straight fire.

Don't sleep on Hoopla & Kanapy as #LanguageLearning apps for a few languages like Spanish, French, Italian, German, Latin, etc.

Both have The Great Courses that teach language & culture via 30min videos. They usually have course book you can download for FREE.

Hoopla has BingePasses.

This Gen X Black lady looking at 50 next year has been radicalized into scrapbooking and decorative planning! Did you know there are local groups for it? And an entire conference in Chicago?!

Love this, OP. These dudes need hobbies! Go have some fun having fun, relaxing, and minding their business!
every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Imagine for a moment that there were Negro Leaguers who were so skillful they could lay down bunts that allowed for them to not only get on base but the player who was on first could advance from first to third base…

Purple. Rain. Was. Semi. Autobiographical.
Prince snatches Jill Jones up because he befriended Teena Marie while opening up this tour but turned around and had Teena open his Dirty Mind Tour later the same year. Jill Jones sang background for Teena. She joins Prince’s band for a hot minute then Prince steals Rick’s girl & names her Vanity…
If I was old enough to catch the bus by myself (and had more than $5 ever), I would have loved to go to Rick James first tour, Fire It Up. It had little known Teena Marie whose album he was producing for Motown and Prince as his opening act.

We need "All about Eve" type biopic about that tour.🎶🎸

Thinking about how l bought this performance and others on a dvd send from Asia. Can’t remember what country. It was a purchase set up from someone on eBay.
Ok, I was calling him black shirt, silver pants and boots. 😂

The thing is that they were ALL so talented. There should have been room enough for all of them. But the music industry seems to pit people against each other every time— especially if they're Black and similar genre or style.
