I have a student in NYC from Cobb County who was worried that they wouldn’t be able to have their vote counted because they didn’t get an absentee ballot yet. So they are spending money on a round trip flight to cast their vote in the morning and fly back up for afternoon class😡
I agree. The “gross” majority would vote for DJT. But the decent majority definitely would not.
My 10yr old son was watching X-Men Last Stand and said that Professor X is the Joe Biden of the Marvel Universe. I’m not sure I can fully appreciate the layers of truth in that.#XMEN

The Detroit Lions may win twice as many games as the Detroit Pistons in the ‘23-‘24 Season. I really do cut for my Detroit folk, but this seems very on brand for this city. #whatupdoe

New Yorkers don't need an excuse to stay indoors tonight, but just in case: the entire lineup from last year's @firethistimenyc festival is now streaming.
The annual festival provides a crucial platform for Black playwrights to share their work. ⤵️

When I saw this scene I cried I cried really hard because I’d never seen a male lead so completely encapsulate what it means to be me before this. He was truly a departure from the expected.
This is what I’m talking about, it’s not the decision to Not fight, but to not despair.
ALT Waymond from Everything Everywhere All At Once is dressed in a tailored suit. He’s looking at someone just offscreen. He’s saying, “When I choose to see the good side of things, I’m not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It’s how I’ve learned to survive through everything.”

A lot of outlets have been telling the story of Tony Bennett marching with MLK.
But have you ever heard the story about how “wokeness,” DEI, Jesus, an actual anti-racist, 2 church choirs & 1 of the greatest dance moves of all time got Tony Bennett into show biz?
