At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Yes, and ABC World News Tonight averaged just under 11 million viewers, up from the roughly 8 million viewers it normally averages
You know why both were up Monday? Because NBC NIGHTLY NEWS was pre-empted by the NBA, and the news audience sampled other shows. More went to ABC.

dear grad students and potential grad students:
When it comes to turning your dissertation into a book, do not—I repeat do not—chuck the dissertation and start from scratch.
It’ll take you forever.
Ask me how I know.
With love and grace,
SPB

I feel like I read an essay or book chapter by bell hooks that thinks about Pam Grier but for the life of me I'm not finding it.
I'm looking through Reel to Real and Black Looks and PDFs I've had since grad school and not finding it!
does anyone recall where she wrote about Grier??

Sometime in 1985 (?) there was a song called “Harvest Moon” by a bad whose name I cannot remember.
Sorta jangly, bordering on alt-country
I’m not thinking of the Neil Young song which came out years after the one I’m thinking of.
Not much to go on but does that sound vaguely familiar to anyone?

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

The 1996 revival of Chicago with @BebeNeuwirth.Bluesky.social, Ann Reinking and James Naughton is still one of the best nights I’ve spent in the theatre.
I saw the original cast twice and saw the production 3 more times after others stepped in…so damn good! 💜🔥
