Another example of vibe shift between Trump’s first presidency and now: In 2017, Teen Vogue stood out for outspoken, social-justice politics. In 2025, it laid off its entire politics team, including the last two Black women journalists on staff.
NBC and CBS have made similar moves.

Chipotle cut its growth projections for the 3rd quarter in a row, citing the fact that it bet big on appealing to younger customers and they’re now broke. The stock is down -22% following earnings.

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

The racism I've experienced and seen isn't nearly as bad as the stories I've gotten from my older family members.
The moral arc doesn't move without hiccups, but it still bends towards justice.

An interesting thing that came out the Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates interview:
It's true that for a lot of black folks, this really is still the best of times for us in the West.
Racists are louder today than 20 years ago, but I still believe they are fewer.

I settled on a clip from the (incredible) doc Sly Lives! (watch it now on Hulu if you haven't.) I think it's the most transparent commentary I ever heard from D'Angelo; it's about Sly, but it's really about him.
My plan was to grab a whole different clip, but this one felt right.

Excellent thread on Birth of a Nation and its director, DW Griffith.
DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened.
So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon.

I can't stop thinking about how the reaction to Luigi is one of the few moments of genuine class solidarity in recent American history. Nearly all political struggle in this country is left v. right and seeing the bipartisan reaction to this is really illuminating.
