Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1 Tweeted: In 2049, I plan to direct 78-year-old Jon Hamm in the two-hour TV special "Mad Men Returns" where Don Draper ends his advertising career in 2004 by pitching the Quiznos spongemonkeys ad. There is an age progressed photo of Jon Hamm as Don Draper and a photo of those insane Quiznos creatures
From https://lib.arizona.edu/help/employees/anti-racist-guide Brown bag • Context: Within the Black community, colorism is a significant problem that stems from slavery. Many slave owners raped enslaved women, producing biracial offspring of a lighter complexion. Slave owners gave preferential treatment to those whose complexion was a lighter brown and often their unclaimed children. A brown bag custom began in the 20th century, where a brown paper bag was placed at event entrances or merely held up to a person of color. If their skin color was darker than the bag, they were not permitted to enter or participate. • Alternatives: lunch in, lunch and learn Sources: • Audrey Elisa Kerr. (2005). The Paper Bag Principle: Of the Myth and the Motion of Colorism. The Journal of American Folklore, 118(469), 271-289. Blackthen (2021, April 29) The Back Story: How the Brown Paper Bag Carried "The Color Complex" From Slavery

He was astonished by the plain truth of what he saw: the walls, checkpoints, and guns that everywhere hemmed in the lives of Palestinians; the clear tiers of citizenship between the first-class Jews and the second-class Palestinians; and the undisguised contempt with which the Israeli state treated the subjugated other. For Coates, the parallels with the Jim Crow South were obvious and immediate: Here, he writes, was a "world where separate and unequal was alive and well, where rule by the ballot for some and the bullet for others was policy." And this world was made possible by his own country: "The pushing of Palestinians out of their homes had the specific imprimatur of the United States of America. Which means that it had my imprimatur." That it was complicated, he now understood, was "horseshit." "Complicated" was how people had described slavery and then segregation. "It's complicated," he said, "when you want to take something from somebody."
"I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe, and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body and not have their government tell them what to do," Harris said. Harris has for months promised that she would sign legislation codifying Roe v. Wade's protections in federal law but had yet as a presidential nominee to specifically weigh in on whether she supports an exception to the filibuster to do so. President Joe Biden has long said he supports such an exception, and in 2022 Harris promised as vice president to cast a tie-breaking vote to end the filibuster for reproductive rights and voting rights.
“this is a microaggression” comment on a screen shot of a covid era zoom happy hour at my work. Text of the invitation uses an aggressive number of colors and font styles. SO, who is excited about tomorrow's virtual happy hour?!?!?! If you're not yet, then GEEETT EXCITED!!! Because we have a really fun agenda planned...and will party like it's 1999!!! If you can, please dress up in decade attire (e.g., roaring 20s (gloves, fur wraps, fringy dresses), groovy disco 70s (bell bottoms, flower prints), punk rock 80s (track suits, sweat bands)). And don't forget, bring your favorite drinks and appetizers as well!

A screenshot of Steve Albini on Twitter. He’s posted a screenshot of Federalist dumbshit Sean Davis and his magazine’s anti-Tay Tay article saying “Taylor Swift is dumb and her music sucks.” The Federalist article is titled “Taylor Swift’s Popularity is a Sign of Societal Decline” lol. Anyways, Steve says: “From what I know, Taylor Swift is one of the smartest people in music. Oh, almost forgot. Let's hear your record, cocksocket.”

Screenshot from a Washington Post article from 2016 on Richard Spencer. “But from a distance, almost everything about him appears as innocuous as the term “alt-right” — and that’s by design. Spencer heads a pair of organizations with unremarkable names: the National Policy Institute and Radix Journal. He dresses in three-piece Brooks Brothers suits, gold-coin cuff links and $5,000 Swiss watches, and he sports a swept-over hipster haircut known as a “fashy” (as in fascist). Spencer, who has degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of Chicago, dismisses such labels as Nazi, racist and white supremacist, preferring to describe himself as an “identitarian.” Even before Twitter banned him and other white nationalists last week, he seldom trolled his enemies.”
