Two things... I love when Black folks earn Rhodes scholarships... Cecil Rhodes is doing backflips in his grave every time we get one... If @secdef.govpeeps.us quit eyeballing beards and kicking people out, maybe he could get a brotha like this to re-enlist.

I wrote about the dirty, demeaning, absolutely booming business of turning something like a shitty bigoted college essay into a shitty public career as a bigot, and also estimated how old Marine Todd would be today. defector.com/the-conserva...

This is a good report but leaves out 1 important detail. This insulting and rude AF style started on the backs of Black women. April Ryan. Rachel Scott. Joy-Anne Reid. Many ignored it when happening to Black women. We keep telling you what you accept when he does to us, he will eventually do to you

Nov. 17, 1925: Bang & Olufsen is founded in Denmark. Engineer Peter Bang and business chief Svend Olufsen, working in the attic of a farmhouse, produce an early plug-in radio with no need for batteries. The company later becomes known for its many elegantly styled electronics.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke. IG bscomedian

Mary Hawkins spent 13 months flying the wounded out of the Pacific Theater, becoming one of the few women to be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

A rare happy story: The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has restored its holdings of the works of the enslaved potter David Drake to his descendants, following the pattern of Holocaust art restitution, the first time a museum has restored a work produced by an enslaved person.
