I was such a big fan of everything Mike & Jemele did on ESPN. They shared their personal lives on their shows. It was why my heart broke when I learned yesterday that Michael's wife passed away late last year. He was a guest on Chicago's 104 The Score telethon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Jd...

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

They bought all of our choices, political, lifestyle and economic. But they did not wager the cost of our *refusal*. It is fascinating. Grim but fascinating.

164 years ago, on the 13th of May 1862, Robert Smalls escaped slavery by capturing the steamboat 'Planter' and steering it through Confederate lines. The US Navy commissioned it as the USS Planter and appointed Smalls as captain, making him the first black man to command a US ship. #otd #history 🗃️

Perhaps one day fashion will be taken more seriously. But the question of whether fashion is art, as posed by last night's Met Gala, is answered with a resounding "no" if you look at the community's response. For many people, these outfits are not art but signs of social decay.

This is not so with clothing. Few people consider the farmers, spinners, weavers, dyers, designers, pattern makers, sewers, embroiderers, finishers, and pressers that collaborate to produce something fantastical. I doubt there's much I can say on social media that will change people's biases.

When I see a beautiful painting, even if it's in someone's home, my first thought is not "why is this person showing off?" Even if that person bought the painting and hung it on their wall, I think the artist first. What was their intention? How is their skill? What is the meaning?

Much like how knitting (a feminine-coded activity) is relegated to "crafts," while sculptures (a masculine-coded activity) is elevated to the "arts," it's assumed that this sort of stuff isn't "serious" and thus subject to harsher scrutiny.

— Fashion is a feminine coded interest and thus considered frivolous, whereas masculine-coded interests, such as architecture, are considered "serious." Doesn't matter if a tremendous amount of skilled labor or creativity went into making something, such as the handmade lace or shoulder line below.

But such outfits offend people — really offend people — because people don't think of clothes as anything more than consumables. It's notable to me that the Met Gala gets compared to the Hunger Games, whereas such criticism is rarely levied at the Oscar's red carpet or the Super Bowl halftime show.

To be sure, there's no question in my mind that Wintour made the right decision. The increased spectacle and shift towards corporate sponsors — who use the night for marketing — have raised so much money, the Costume Institute has enough savings to potentially be self-sufficient in a few years.

If the Met Gala tried to answer whether fashion is art last night, the answer would not come from the objects shown at the gala, but from the discourse on social media. As you can see from reactions, people still primarily see clothes as consumables, akin to shaving creams or office supplies.

I love movies about time travel and time loops... and still, "Predestination" is the weirdest time loop movie I've ever seen. Entertaining but mind boggling in a good way. Well done but still surprising.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Bears must not be amazed by the defensive players in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. They didn't draft anyone. Makes me wonder what their plan for improving the d-line is.

More protection up front 👊 Welcome to Chicago, Logan!

Went to a happy hour for mystics and it reminded me of why I love reading birth charts. I talked to 3 women who said ppl stereotyped them bcuz of their sun signs even though they don't resonate with those signs or descriptions.

JR Smith is forever goated for telling LeBron that the price for everything god gave him in this lifetime is his hair.
