When you come upon a post from a stranger, target it by holding the triangle button. If the post glows green, it is about you. If it doesn’t, you can move along. Try to find all the posts about you each day!

💙📚 Beautiful. Terrifying. Heartbreaking. Fascinating. Historical details from the mind of a master researcher, but related with a touch so gentle it sometimes stings. I have faced waves I thought mind end me and know that fear. Bacon brings the story alive.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

If you were to run down a list of all the things distinctive about the United States in contrast to Old World Europe, most of it is stuff we instead have in common with Latin America. That's not some woke novelty, it's a deeply embedded centuries-old aspect of our culture and national identity.

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Purposefully watching people die on camera doesn't give you some moral clarity you somehow lacked before. It just gives you trauma.
You already know it's wrong. You do not need to watch it.

Reminder that you can currently find NWSL xG, g+, passing stats, defensive stats, style of play info, and more on the VizHub League tab. Can also pull lots of individual stats via player radars. It certainly isn’t a replacement, but it’s at least something.
More coming to VizHub soon.
