Kavanaugh (2023): universities cannot use race or ethnicity as a factor in admissions decisions.
Kavanaugh (2025): ICE can use race or ethnicity as a factor in deciding whom to stop.
Kavanaugh (2026): uh, er, race and ethnicity shouldn’t be a consideration in immigration stops and arrests.

There’s something different about a hometown show when the artists actually mean hometown. Clipse at The Dome was not a victory lap or a nostalgia play. It felt more like a reckoning. Two brothers returning with their full story intact with no edits.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

My. Fuji. 😭 We first got a glimpse of Mt. Fuji at Lake Kawaguchi through the clouds. Then we stopped at the infamous Lawson’s with a view. And finally, on my last day in Japan, the clouds cleared and I could see her in all her glory from my hotel room.

The correct answer is triangular on everything except fried bologna sandwiches. Leave that shit regular, don’t even cut it.
Alright, y’all, serious question:
Triangular-cut sandwich?

Very sad news…
The incredible D’Angelo has died.
A pioneer of the neo-soul movement, he was 51.
His musical legacy continues to have a massive impact today.
This means that his son, Michael, has lost both his mother, Angie Stone, and his father within just a matter of months.
