Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

That website is run by America PAC, Musk’s super PAC. While Vote.gov collects no personal information, votesafe.org collects a wide-range of personal information.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

For anyone wrestling with this topic, I would recommend the book Monsters: a Fan's Dilemma by Claire Dederer. She covers many different types and aspects of monstrous artists, as well as what our responsibility is as consumers of art.

They can't come up with an entertaining way to do a pre-movie recap, something TV shows have been doing forever? The best suggestion I've read is to have Michael Peña's Luis narrate it. If you need portentious, have someone play Uatu. Or just a well-edited clip package

As a kid, I was drawn to all sorts of old timey comedians and humor writers from Erma Bombeck to Dave Barry, even if I didn't always understand the references. One year for Christmas, my parents bought me Gene Shalit's Laughing Matters collection, a perfect gift that widened my comedy horizons.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

Like I said: the civil rights era never ended. You are still in it. The most important form of free speech, is the right to vote. Racists don't want Black people to vote. So they wrote down a plan to stack the Supreme Court with people that would make it harder for Black people to vote. It worked

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.
