“We thought you could just shame America… but, you know, you can’t just shame segregation[ists]. Rattlesnakes don’t commit suicide. Ball teams don’t strike themselves out, you gotta PUT THEM out.” -Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, reflecting on the Montgomery bus boycott. From EYES ON THE PRIZE

That flag is diabolical Kendrick damn

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

Yes

probably the most mischievous grin ever

Congratulations to Super Bowl LIX champion Kendrick Lamar

BEEN subscribed to Wired 🙌🏻 Never turning down a chance to be self-righteous 💪🏻

Check dates if you look up ICE raid dates. ICE is optimizing search results to give the illusion that they’re arresting hundreds of people but a lot of these arrests are years old. apple.news/AxJ0Qh0bwR6K...

I need Americans to hate this administration the way Kendrick hates Drake so they can actually stand a chance of surviving

Jesus the theater kids are unstoppable. Doechii is such a fucking Star

I know this is besides the point but Cowboy Carter winning best country album makes the CMAs look even dumber, if that’s possible

Taylor Swift presenting Beyoncé with her award for Best Country Album. #GRAMMYs

Sobbed so much through that Chappell Roan performance I almost missed Beyonce

Taylor Swift presenting Beyonce with the Grammy for Best Country album is an insane and magical turn of events

Doechii joins Cardi B and Lauryn Hill as the only women in #GRAMMYs  history to win Best Rap Album.

DOECHII!!!! Queer Tampa theater kids WINNNNNNN

Sabrina killed it. Love my musical theater girlies

If you want (or need) to read something uplifting and illuminating today, here’s a fantastic essay on how “Cowboy Carter,” which should win a Grammy tonight, exemplifies the best of America by celebrating the myriad of peoples and traditions that make up the culture www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

“A larger part of the knowledge-class problem is that cultural creators, especially those in legacy media, fear that smartphones will lure their audiences away…Is ‘People aren’t paying attention” just a dressed-up version of “People aren’t paying attention to me’?” apple.news/Aqmrk90AfSzi...

Snagged two hot bestsellers in one day

It’s really diabolical for the surgeon general to have announced that alcohol causes cancer before the Trump administration took over.

Looks like the Walter Isaacson book on Musk missed a few things 👀

I think something we don't appreciate enough as a society is that for the majority of human history hearing a particular piece of music was only possible if you could find someone in a public place/event playing it, owned an instrument/knew it yourself, or were rich and could employ a musician.

That brief weekend when videos of insurrectionists getting arrested at airport terminals went viral was a really fun time on the Internet

Immigrants are taking all the best jobs.

What are the mediocrities going to do when they find out that “DEI” isn’t their problem? I’m curious.

I have it in me to become motivated & belligerent about 1 thing a year, politically speaking. Beyond that, my ass needs to stay sane, employed and present for my family. They almost got me with this “Roman salute” but I pulled myself back. Im not giving this clown my life for the next 4 years

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is: "No, make me." They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

It DOES NOT MATTER if it was a joke or not. The effect is the same.

Ok TikTok was one thing but MARVEL SNAP??? I just got the cutest Magnito variant. I mean CMON- These communist spies have grade A animation skills.

Well shit whatchyall doin?

The documentary, An Update To Our Family, is another damning indictment of family blogging and the need to regulate it to protect children. That said, damn I needed queer family fertility vlogs SO BAD when my wife and I were going through it. I was so scared of the process and it seemed to foreign

Definitely time to rewatch Twin Peaks

Yet another Monday wherein we all get to ask ourselves, “how to make sense of all these men who make beautiful art when they aren’t raping women?”

Every time I get the urge to actually delete every single social media app in my phone, some glorious piece of art comes out and I spend a week luxuriating in reaction videos/posts and this week Bad Bunny gave us Debi Tirar Mas Fotos. It’s been lovely and warm and wonderful.
