How many musical genres can you count in this one performance? Before Chuck Berry, Little Richard and definitely before Elvis Presley, there was Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Blazing trails and singing praises. Born this day in 1915 in Cotton Plant, Arkansas.
An eye-opener that I watched last year airs on @PBS tonight. CODED BIAS chronicles Joy Buolamwini, a Ghanaian-American computer scientist based at @MIT and founder of Algorithmic Justice League, as she fights bias in our decision-making software. So good.

If you believe in a power greater than you, please hold the family of Mr. George Floyd in prayer through the trial of his murderer, Police Officer Derek Chauvin. The family will hear character assassination and details of their loved one’s murder. Horrific. Hold them in light.
Worth your time. Strong piece by @jessica_roy from @latimes . Good practical advice for different kinds of folks, various situations. I particularly appreciate the paragraph about alternatives to calling police. And I learned something new: the five Ds.
Tom, I loved writing NEW GODS with you. I’m upset that the saga of Barda, Scott, Granny, Highfather and The Furies ends this way. Diving into Kirby’s Fourth World was the adventure of a lifetime. That can’t be taken away. Thank you for your friendship. And remember... #DarkseidIs
One of my favorite performances in one of my favorite films was given by DMX. If you haven’t seen BELLY in a while or at all, gift yourself with his talent in that film this weekend. #RIPDMX
What a gift, @TrevellAnderson . Thanks for speaking with all three women who directed QUEEN SUGAR Season Five. They had major hurdles to greatness. But they jumped them all - and won. Much love to Lauren Wolkstein, Lisa France and Cierra Glaude. Brava. xo!

I thought I was thorough, but this taught me not to forget the thumbs! Take a look. And blessings to all today. 👋🏾✋🏾👐🏾🙌🏾👍🏾
You deserved your breath, your dignity, your life. Not to die in the street, murdered by a white cop’s knee on your neck. You deserve our tears, our prayers, our rage, our action. We must act - for you - and for all of those were no cameras are present. We must. #GeorgeFloyd
White people talking to white people. More of this please. If you’re white and you believe yourself not to be racist, yet you don’t talk to your white friends like this or stand up beyond tweets for Black people... you simply aren’t who you think you are.
Sixteen year old Cornelius Fredericks, died on May 1, 2020, after being restrained by Lakeside Academy staff. He screamed: “I can’t breathe.” His killers are Michael Mosley, Zachary Solis and Heather McLogan, now charged with involuntary manslaughter + second-degree child abuse.
This needs to happen on EVERY lie. It's up to the press to do this EVERY time. Go hard, y'all. On EVERY lie.
A handy household tip for those who need to get zip ties off of your bread, bags of apples, Doritos and other everyday things that one might need to remove zip ties from.
