When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

if I could only listen to one kind of music for the rest of my life, the answer would be Memphis soul. RIP Steve Cropper, whose guitar and production defined the Stax sound as much as Booker T’s organ or Otis Redding’s shout

Friends, vikings, countrymen: lend me your eyes. May I present what just happened an hour ago in Iceland?
It was an early, short substorm, but it was a good one. Literal space weather!

Before you tie the knot aak yourself if that’s the person who will live you when your hair thins and your skin sags.
Will they love you enough to be by your side at the end. Will they be kind to those you love and kind to you when you’re not moving as fast or you start talking slower.

I recommend we all take a breath before sharing things that may seem to be real or we want to be real, and determine whether or not it's real. For example, no matter who reports something, wait for multiple confirmations, learn more about the topic, etc. It's better to be informed than first.

Encouraging to see this. Players actually rewarded for what they accomplish instead of penalized by the behavior of other so-called "adults" thinking only of themselves
Great news for Ole Miss. Not penalized for the head coach's departure & should almost definitely host a first-round CFP game.

Seventy years ago today, one woman sat down and changed the country. Her resolve lives on every time we refuse to back down from injustice.
