Agatha Christie had a habit of studying things so intensely that she accidentally became an expert. One time she asked an archeologist, âWho is the worldâs leading authority on Mesopotamian pottery? I need to ask them a question.â
The archeologist said, âYOU are.â
Another episode of âHow everything on this app originated with Black Peopleâ and âwhat most of what we know as Gen Z culture is just a whitewashed version of Black American culture.â I know thatâs right honey! Let me get into this creator.
I know itâs getting banned and all, but thereâs an account on tiktok that just strips the laugh track out of Seinfeld and sets the show to Laura Palmerâs theme and itâs the singles greatest contribution to comedy in 30 years.
I have been hearing a lot lately the argument that childrenâs libraries (either in school libraries or public libraries) are full of porn and obscene materials.
Let me break down one of the reasons why that just isnât the case:
Robert Smalls was the first Black person in the U.S. Navy to be given the title of captain after outsmarting the Confederacy and sailing his family from enslavement to freedom â but his story doesnât end there

To everyone taking to the streets to protest: Weâre with you. Know your rights.
ALT Graphic with black background. a red title reads, "Know your protest rights." White text below reads:
1. The right to protest is a fundamental human right guaranteed by the First Amendment. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news.
2. If you get stopped by police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
3. The police's main job during a protest is to protect your right to protest and de-escalate any threat of violence.
4. If you get arrested don't say anything. Ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
5. Demand your right to a local phone call. If you call a lawyer, police are not allowed to listen. If you call anyone else, they are likely to listen.
Never forget: While MAGAs lie that racial justice protestors "burned down cities" after George Floydâwhite supremacists actually burned down parts of or entire cities in dozens of anti-Black riots. And 0 reparations were ever paid.
Remember: Every MAGA accusation is a confession

THIS is one of the most shocking jail lawsuits I've seen: An mentally ill man with an IQ of 55 who was being held on $1000 bail literally *starved to death* in an Arkansas jail.
They put him in solitary, he decompensated - and he died. THREAD: documentcloud.org/documents/âŚ
