See Phylicia Rashad and Audra McDonald go at it in the #GildedAge is the same feeling I got when Kerry Washington and Viola Davis went at it in the hair salon!!

It's not the #GoldenAge, it's the  #GildedAge, and #WeThePeople will survive.

The Golden Age is just the figment of the imagination of a demented mind.

James G. Blaine was an eyewitness to the fatal shooting of President James A. Garfield. My latest stab at a podcast looks at his courtroom testimony about what happened on July 2, 1881 #booksky #history #gildedage #deathbylightning

"On the evening before my birthday, I took a long, thoughtful walk near a deserted farm. It put me into a melancholy spirit and reminded me that all things are fleeting. The eternal "now" is all that is real."

There are 56,000 of them, the wealthiest 0.001% of the planet with at least €254 million in assets. Together, they now own three times more than the poorest half of humanity or 2.8 billion adults …Back in 1995, the 0.001% held "only" twice as much as the poorest half.

🤑🇺🇸🤑 #Corporations became the dominant #economic force in America particularly during the late 19th century, a period known as the " #GildedAge," when #industrialgrowth & #corporateexpansion significantly shaped the #economy.

By the mid-20th century, #largecorporations were THE central factor.

Gladys Russell is a drip anyway

and the man she wants to marry is a sop

and the Duke she's supposed to marry is a zero

other than that it's a good storyline 😂

"I fear my estimation of Modern Fashion has taken a blow. Mrs. Russell insisted that gentlemen in the Arabian quarter went without hat or cravat when dining out. I liked the fancy shirt but felt naked after trying her husband's tailor."

One of my favorite moments from "The Partisans:" The day Roscoe Conkling welcomed Black Republican Blanche Kelso Bruce to the Senate while Bruce's white colleagues ignored him #booksky #GildedAge #Conkling #BlancheKBruce #Mississippi

A lot of TV shows are popping up about the #GildedAge, but I also found that interestingly enough there were Irish women marrying Chinese men during this era. I'm super happy there is Black rep, but I wonder at other races besides white and Black. Indigenous? Asian and so on.

"While recovering from Red Fever, as the southerners call it, I let my whiskers advance of their own accord. They did not disappoint me, though my clean-shaven barber clucked unhappily upon each visit."

"Mr. Russell invited me to his little-used Savannah cottage. When I looked in his stable, I found a fine gelding and a steamer bike. His new ethermobile was being delivered next week.

'We're living in the future, Kolby!' He said with a vast smile."
