Ilian was just fined $500K by Adam Silver for tanking. Shit is crazy

We’ve got a sleeveless cross-country skier, surely making NFL offensive linemen proud

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

“Scholarly attention has rightly focused on the forced reproduction of enslaved Black women, but that focus need not come at the expense of understanding the position of enslaved Black men, who were also denied sexual autonomy, including the ability to choose with whom they would have children.”

From #AHAPerspectives in 2018: Zita Cristina Nunes described how Dorothy Porter successfully built @howard.edu's Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, one of the world’s leading repositories for Black history and culture, and the legacy of her work for contemporary scholars. 🗃️

My favorite Esperanza album

Put some respect on Surya Bonaly's name. I used to love watching her.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Listen... if you not down for some foolishness... we can't even be together

the bushes were people 😂

This is great production

Rapoport: The #Bears are promoting passing game coordinator Press Taylor to offensive coordinator, giving coach Ben Johnson a new top lieutenant, per The Insiders. Taylor was an OC with the #Jaguars until 2024 before working with Johnson. With Declan Doyle in Baltimore, Taylor is the OC.

Never forget that In Living Color’s live halftime broadcast in 1992 on Fox snatched 22 Million viewers from CBS and is why the NFL started having super stars perform.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

The Serpent and the Rainbow is a good book and film on this as a good entry-way into this lore.

Yay! Joe Thuney! 🐻⬇️ Protector of the year!

Andrew Whitworth is fine... whew lordt

I'm obviously a homer but this Chicago Pope was funny.

Miles Garrett... whew lordt 😍 He called the Browns a great organization 😂

These types of things have gone straight over my head too. I need the people to talk plainly to me. Lol

Good morning my little honey butter biscuits. It’s Tuesday. Don’t let that man text you if he’s not putting them on the glass. 🫶🏽

Ms. PAC-MAN is a superior game to PAC-MAN

This! If you take the Black keys out of Amazing Grace you will have Grace…but it won’t be amazing. Whew

Of course!

I'll never forget the time a man rolled past me in his car, asked no questions and proceeded to mansplain defrosting my windshield... while he remained in his car. I told him I knew what I was doing and he ignored me and kept on yelling "instructions". I did not know this man 😂

I know Post Malone stank

Fantastic interview featuring @docdre.distributedblackness.net exploring how Black folks use digital spaces and social media to create joy and pleasure www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKBw... #BlackJoySyllabus

I think that was for all of Shedeur's Aunts and Uncles out here Deion is too busy worrying about how to keep that 37 year old woman and them last 7 toes

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Via NBC: “Rams-Bears (45.4 million viewers) is NBC Sports’ most watched NFL Divisional Playoff on record, since Nielsen’s institution of the People Meter in 1988 – covering a total of 34 games.” “Chicago led all markets with a massive 34.7/66 local rating.”

Horror movie Sinners has a record 16 nominations this year, including for best picture, actor Michael B. Jordan and a new category: achievement in casting.

This is Peanut. He decided to stay home from work today. Doesn't have a job, but is too exhausted to go even if he did have one. 12/10 (TT: peanut5025)

I learned this the hard way last winter doing astrophotography as a super amateur. Photographing the sky using a smartphone either takes a top of the line model OR additional apps for photo editing OR learning a pretty complex setting of non-intuitive settings on your camera phone.

I'm so tired of working through the apocalypse.

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

Matt Stafford on the Bears: “They’re a tough out. There’s no question about that.”

This is like when Jordan dropped 63 on the Celts. Did they win? Nope. Were phenomenal things afoot? YES.

This is why I can't be sad. This season was magic at a time when I needed magic. It was awesome.

Bears fans have to realize: you can't change the culture and do big winning in the same season. The Bears had a deep losing culture. There are a LOT of players left over from those Eberfleus years. These guys needed to learn how to believe in themselves as winners first. Mission accomplished.

Now... Big Brain Ben left 6 points on the board by not kicking in a snow game on 4th down. Twice. He's gotta get out of his own way. The defense showed UP today in a way they haven't done all season. No doubt that was because Kyler Gordan was back. They still need a better pass rush though.

If I were from Chicago I’d still die for Caleb Williams good lord

Nothing but love for my Chicago Bears. This was a GREAT rebuilding season. We got the QB. We got the coach. This season was an undisputed success.
