Harlem Renaissance would be interesting.
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

This US administration has completely lost its plot, if it ever existed. Total chaos.

Just came home from seeing SIX the musical. Such a great concept for a show and the music and staging were so well thought out and really captures your attention right from the start.
Highly recommend if you get a chance to see it.

I am trying to find a quote and wondering if anyone can help. It is either from ancient Rome of Greece about a teacher complaining that their student's don't use slate tables anymore. Or something along those lines.
Anyone know what I am talking about, or am I completely losing it?

"Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi insignia as 'potentially divisive' under its new guidelines.

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Am I the only person when I hear people bring up AI and the things it "can do" I get a guttural reaction and irrationally irate about AI?
Like people think this is the greatest thing on Earth and I just can't see it anything more than a fancy intellectual property stealing search engine.

This is the guy who rants about masculinity and doing things to be 'manly' and he has no clue how to use a hammer. The most basic of all tools.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

If the House and later Senate demands for the full release of the Files, what is the chance, obviously overriding a veto, that the DOJ will just say they "misplaced" the files?
Like you know there are some that are arguing they should just be destroyed.

Real question. If and hopefully when all the files are released, what will happen? I am talking specifically about dude in WH, what will happen? Does anyone really think he will face any punishment or recourse for any of that?
I don't think so.
