Yeah, the idea of “nerdy” spaces being made for a particular type of white guy is due to constant and vigorous policing of who gets to belong. It’s why outrage at seeing Black women in particular, but marginalized people in general, in Marvel movies & games is such an effective vector for the right.

i think if you’re having complicated feelings about a man you looked up to being outed as a sexual abuser the thing to do is work through those feelings before/without writing an essay about it. the take economy has cooked your brain.

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz

Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

Blayton replaced the existing all-white staff with a team of Black broadcasters. Known as the “Four Horsemen” — Joe Howard, Roosevelt Johnson, Jimmy Winnington and the legendary Jack “Jockey Jack” Gibson — these DJs didn’t just spin records. They revolutionized the American radio landscape. /5

Legendary DJ James “Alley Pat” Patrick, one of the early, breakout Black personalities and DJs at WERD. Before WERD went on the air, radio announcers on white stations spoke in a formal, rigid, mid-Atlantic prose. DJs such as The Four Horsemen brought the raw vitality of Black street culture, theater and musical rhythm to the airwaves. They introduced rhythmic rhyming patter, talked seamlessly over the introductory bars of jazz and R&B records, and used energetic vocal improvisations. Known as the “Mouth of the South,” Patrick used unpredictable, high-energy ad-libs and lively humor to create his own unique style. Beyond his radio legacy at WERD and later WAOK, Patrick leveraged his success to become Atlanta’s first Black bail bondsman. He routinely used his own resources to bail out jailed civil rights activists, including MLK, Hosea Williams and Andrew Young.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1949: WERD, the first Black-owned radio station in the U.S., opens in Atlanta. Launched to give Black citizens a dedicated, independent voice in a segregated media landscape, the station became a vital command center for the growing Civil Rights Movement. /1

Jesse Blayton Jr., General Manager of WERD, in the station’s studio, 1949. WERD became the accidental blueprint for modern Black media, proving that financial independence and cultural fluency are tools for social liberation. The station’s DJs pioneered fast-talking, rhythmic, rhyming “patter” over musical tracks. This style redefined the disc jockey profession and was later adopted by mainstream white radio. By sharing a physical building with the SCLC, WERD provided MLK with a direct, unfiltered pipeline to the public. The station circumvented hostile white corporate media and kept the community safe, unified and organized. WERD’s financial success proved that a Black-owned enterprise could thrive in the heart of Jim Crow segregation without relying on white institutional approval. It forced the corporate white establishment to respect and reckon with the economic and political power of Black consumers and creators.

The smallest bat in North America is the canyon bat (Parastrellus hesperus), also called the western pipistrelle or American parastrelle. They weigh about 3–6 grams, the weight of a US penny, sheet of paper, or teaspoon of sugar. In flight, they're sometimes confused for moths or butterflies.

A tiny smoke-grey furry bat with darker face, ears and wings. The big story is the tiny size. The entire bat fits on a portion of a human's thumb, a tee-weeny tiny little guy.

This is a viral photo that's circulated for years, but I found it on r/BatFacts posted by u/Pardusco.
