In the 1990s, shows like “In Living Color” and “Living Single” helped broaden how millions of viewers understood Black experiences. That moment, and the history that helped make it possible, are at the core of Geoff Bennett's new book, "Black Out Loud." https://to.pbs.org/41kR39A

Literally crying. It's perfect. New sign on the south side of the bookshop.

I told y'all, the regex for sentiment told me everything I need to know

I find a chair I might like. I call up the store near me to see if they have it so I can test it out. They don't. I check all stores within 200 miles and they do not have it. I hate furniture shopping in 2026.

A federal judge ruled last night that public universities in 17 states with Democratic attorneys general do not have to provide data for the massive new IPEDS admissions survey, pointing to staffing challenges within the Department of Education. It's a maze of deadlines to navigate across higher ed.

Sigh. Thank the Lord mama had to miss this regional.

Obligatory

How do luxury car dealerships vet people to browse their cars? I'm talking Rolls/Bentley type of cars. Do you get a letter from the bank? Wouldn't rich people get offended?

Yeah it's pretty clearly a Nazi salute. Also, the response to this is not "make them take a Holocaust education tour and meet with survivors." Jews should not be solely defined by our darkest collective trauma.

"We're in the Economist?"

Me, after reviewer 2 gets done with my paper

A “laugh track” is a very specific thing and calling live studio audiences a laugh track is an insult to the craft of sitcom writing.

Queen Elizabeth ate bananas like a baked potato: split open on a plate, with a fork and knife

Dawn should be allowed one free swing imo

Who wants to talk Makinac Island? I've just learned of this magical place that allows NO motorized vehicles.

BRING IT BACK

This counts as another Eagles win over the Patriots fyi

Isaac Chotiner: You say the two cats who live in your house are "Jerks" and you don't care for them Me: Absolutely. They are the burdens of my life Chotiner: It seems you spent an hour searching for special food for them and paid more for it than you do even for your own food. Me: That's--Hold on,

Wow the uconn coach is reaaaaaal classy

RHOBH should've been canceled years ago because those ladies lie and hide their real lives

I now know the spoiler for The Drama. Zendaya's character was never supposed to be Black, right?

Grateful to my college for this generous write-up of my work, which does a nice job of getting at what I’m trying to do

I feel like I must be missing something. Have any real housewives's vacations been in the Midwest? There's all these luxury vacation spots around the lakes and I can't think of a single episode focused on them.

Sit in your floof

I like big buttresses and I cannot lie.

Will there ever be treatos again?

Okay. This is a much better quality from NASA's site of Earth. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

About time

Yes, AND we actually have evidence (from the wonderful Liz Cascio) that universal preschool benefits low-income kids MORE than means-tested programs: jhr.uwpress.org/content/58/1/1. Good headline fodder for my class’ discussion of this paper next week!

Great article—if you want to know why so many universities, even across oceans, are singing the same tune, look to the consultants selling them the same plans! I like this point that the same-ness distills down to the department and class level too. we all become fungible units.

Gotta love North Carolina!!

The Charlottesville City School Board passed a resolution Tuesday affirming that the division wouldn’t voluntarily cooperate with US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement or entities that had entered into a Section 287(g) agreement with ICE. www.vpm.org/news/2026-04...

Lake's mom on Southern Hospitality is a real one. She heard about the situation and said exactly the same thing I said earlier in the episode when the audience found out, "You don't talk to White people about Black people business."

"'Akira, you better get your grandma because I ain’t got no problem putting hands on an old lady,' Brenay said, according to [the grandma's testimony]. [Grandma] responded, 'Don’t let the cane fool you. I’m not Akira, I will fuck you up.'" Wheeeeeeeewwwwwww www.thecut.com/article/mill...

Luann from rhony made Joe from southern hospitality eggs à la française and I'm so jealous

Oh finally, can't wait!

with follow up (this was a rewrite of the first attempted follow up)

I almost forgot about this one

Poynter found more than 70 stories dating back to October that included reporting, writing and photography from local journalists without attribution. www.poynter.org/ethics-trust...

TLI! Translunar injection complete, Artemis II apogee now over 400,000 km; they're heading to the Moon.

Excited to share new paper w/ @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social: "Veiled Power: How Rosenwald Teachers Quietly Shaped the Civil Rights Movement" The puzzle: did ~5,000 segregated schools built in rural South emphasizing “manual labor” strengthen or weaken Jim Crow? 🧵 omarwasow.com/wasow_grumba...

TFW Amazon needs to tell me that @kitrocha.com 's books are on sale. I'm good, got print copies, but maybe you need them?

Taught social construction and narrative policy framework tonight. Ugh, I just love teaching public policy y'all.

Hi Civ-Mil scholars, American and Comparative, what books would y'all suggest about oversight on military affairs? I am not talking about SH, Feaver, Janowitz, and Schiff. More of the recent, process oriented, case studies or cross national stuff. Feel free to suggest your own?

Columbia Heights is the suburb where Liam Ramos lives, a small working-class highly diverse community just savaged by ICE during its occupation. There's a mutual aid fund and benefit this Saturday. 1) Please come if you're local. My band is playing a set and we're not bad! 2) Please share & donate.

it’s simply too vulnerable to nacho theft from the fans sitting behind/above you. at $1 a nacho, i’m not risking it
