Rodrigo Duterte is accused of being an ‘indirect co-perpetrator’ in the murders of dozens of alleged criminals.

This Lincoln Heights Pop-Up Is Changing the Face of Salvadoran Cooking Chef Agua is part of a new wave of Salvadoran cooks whose offerings go beyond the typical found at most pupuserias and Salvadoran restaurants, joining the likes of Walking Spanish and L.A. Pupusa. By Vladimir De Jesus Santos

Tylenol, schmylenol. Raise your hand if your mom smoked and drank while she was pregnant with you (basically anyone Gen X or older).

I cooked for 2 ½ hours this afternoon. Fried plantains like my Ghanaian mom makes, kale sautéed in bacon grease with gochugang and other spices, quinoa with garlic and lots of lime juice, and a mix of two Rancho Gordo beans added to a well-spiced base with more gochugang. #BeanSky #HeirloomBeans

A president declaring anti-fascism as domestic terrorism is all you need to know about this hideous moment.

The Mississippi Museum of Art now owns the only two known portraits of enslaved Mississippians that were painted before the Civil War. "Portrait of Frederick" joins "Portrait of Delia," both hanging in the same museum together for the first time in history. buff.ly/D7L9GET

One year ago, my little brother died. The cause of death was cancer, but the real cause of death were the toxic burn pits he served by in Iraq and Afghanistan. The US government was very good to us. But all that has changed. Today, the government isn’t helping sick troops, it’s killing them. 1/x

So the Homan tapes are the new Epstein files. Got it.

Happy birthday to Senator Gerald Neal! Thank you for being a strong voice for Kentucky values and for your commitment to making our state a better place for everyone.

Really good read. www.wired.com/story/silico...

Woodard was a magical player. Because the WNBA didn’t exist when she graduated from KU, and because she was bursting with charisma, she became the first woman to play on the Harlem Globetrotters.

THIS THURSDAY ON TGS: Lou Moore @profloumoore.bsky.social tells me the story of America’s first celebrity athlete - and the color line he drew once he made it to the top.

First of all, those tortillas are amazing on their own. And with that broth…

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

"Write for your dead. Tell them a story. What are you doing with this life?.. And when war comes — and make no mistake, it is already here — be sure you write for the living too. The ones you love, and the ones who are coming for your life.." - Alexander Chee, How to Write an Autobiographical Novel

Showing others the way towards self-preservation during a military dictatorship, as Lygia Clark did for many, is nothing if not a political act. Packaging it as art lends her cover in an environment where any political exposure can be dangerous.

I must cleanse my soul with some beauty. Here's: Madeline Flory - Study of Quince, 19th century

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?” Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’” Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

Large anti corruption protests in the Philippines are underway. Triggered by deadly floods which exposed $2billion lost to corruption in flood defence projects some of which didn't exist at all. www.rappler.com/philippines/... And a familiar flag is being flown at the protests.

Do you remember The 21st night of September? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders While chasin' the clouds away Our hearts were ringin' In the key that our souls were singin' As we danced in the night, remember How the stars stole the night away, oh, yeah m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs06...

This morning, Heather Cox Richardson & I discussed how past political power-holders consolidating power (or TRYING to) by silencing their opposition says A LOT about our current moment. It's up on our YouTube channels. Here's mine. Trust me. It speaks to right now. www.youtube.com/live/NPsA7uZ...

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

This moment is disturbing even in the mundane: I’ve started taking screenshots of historical sources I’m using in research from the national park service, the smithsonian, and the national archives, just in case they get taken down. It’s now a part of my process and takes time I have to plan for.

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

this exists it is called thinking

lol spot the difference: On the left is a new $3000 Louis Vuitton bag and on the right is a cultural staple in Ghana that carries A LOT of history about the expulsion of Ghanaians from Nigeria in the 1980s. Neocolonialism never dies. #blacksky #africa #fashionsky

baby's reaction to mom walking into the room: what I imagine it must have been like any time Michael Jackson went anywhere in the mid 80's. baby's reaction to me walking into a room: what I imagine it must have been like any time Jermaine Jackson went anywhere in the mid 80's.

One of the things AI art trips up is humility. I watch humans grapple with the uncertain misery of making art, exposing the vulnerability of showing it. It’s a constant struggle. When the AI does it, your whole self just ain’t out there. You gotta put something on the line.

“It’s a poetic reversal of history. In the 18th century, the enslaved African American chef James Hemings was taken to France by Thomas Jefferson to learn French cooking to be replicated in Monticello and the White House.” - Korsha Wilson

America's beef cattle herd is the smallest in 75 years, in part because of drought. Beef imports are also down, because of tariffs. Unsurprisingly, beef prices are at record highs www.npr.org/2025/09/18/n...

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

"Because blackface developed as popular entertainment during slavery, the ability for white audiences and performers to embody, consume, and enact blackness as a source of 'delectability' cannot be separated from the real-life terror that black people experienced everyday…" 1/ - @drmadmo.bsky.social

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

I deeply respect @rygraham.bsky.social and I’ll be following her work wherever it takes her.
