On Juneteenth, we remember that freedom was delayed because information was kept from people. That still matters. Baltimore needs reporters who show up, ask hard questions, and keep local truth in public view. Make a gift today. support.baltimorebeat.com/page/FUNMSPK... #Juneteenth #Baltimore
There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: “It was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

If the Rocket League online experience is anything to go by, I will say I started wondering "why is everyone getting called 'goyim trash' suddenly" about 2-3 weeks agoish.
If i had a nickel for every tour i looked forward to that was cancelled because someone had tinnitus, I'd have a dime but seriously musicians wear hearing protection ok
after a few joke answers but wanting to declare something a winner as a person who has used most of them in some fashion, i think the only truly good social media sites have been: -the Electrical Audio forums -the Minibosses message board -usenet -local BBSes

In 1999, Playboy spoke with Maya Angelou. The Playboy Interview never ran. The copy was misfiled and forgotten for 20 years. Now, as we bring this remarkable piece of history online, it serves as a bridge to a voice that remains as vital and urgent as ever.
The Playboy Interview: Maya Angelou
Read Maya Angelou's Playboy Interview, written in 1999 but not run in the magazine until 2019.

Spend all the evenings you can with the people who raised you 'Cause all the times they will change, it'll all come around I don't know Maybe I'm just stoned at Peabody Heights
