For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S. The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the “first comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

Watched someone streaming a little of RE9.

They scoffed at the yellow labels on breakable wooden crates, then proceeded to miss every single breakable vase, the whole while complaining about the lack of ammo.

Absolute cinema. 😂

If Benny Safdie and The Rock get to lie in Smashing Machine about verifiable events, then I think we get to adapt Choke into a movie where Yuki Nakai wins. Or at least frame it as Yuki Nakai's story and Ricksin Gracie is the villain.

Supreme Court Says You Can’t File Tort Suits Against Postal Carriers Who Won’t Deliver Mail to Black People According to Clarence Thomas, mail that your mail carrier steals from you is really just “lost,” if you think about it.

You can't sue the government if postal workers accidentally drop the glassware you ordered or lose a letter from your pen pal

The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that this means you also can't sue if postal workers refuse to deliver your mail because you're Black

it's not the point but Newsom saying to throw trans people under the bus so he can focus on electricity bills, when California not only has the highest in the country but he just signed tax giveaways to subsidize energy monopolies after they cause deadly wildfires, is some real rat shit.

Y’all (white people) like to do this thing where y’all (white people) try to tell Black people how to feel and control the way we react when there are very public displays of harm or mistreatment towards us, and I don’t like that shit. I don't like that shit at all.

Figure skating is the best sport because no other sport schedules a "just fuck around" segment into its competition.

AOC can run a genuine anti-elitist campaign on multiple fronts while all Vance has is empty posturing. So many wealthy and powerful people will be deeply invested in stopping her if she does it, including ostensible democrats.

Tara Lipinski, the youngest individual gold medalist in Winter Olympic history, knows that well.
