Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today!
We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.
Spike Lee’s He Got Game has never been more relevant because the New York Knicks are one game away from the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. This is Spike’s love letter to NYC Basketball, which is part of the fabric of the city’s culture. I’m happy for Knick fans today.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Major League Baseball is aired in the morning for Japan. So technically they eat breakfast with it being on television.
Here’s their #openingday commercial. No hyperbole, when I say this, it might be greater than any US MLB commercial I’ve seen. Well done and worth the watch for any baseball fan.
@ThatEricAlper it was Oxford linguistic philosopher J. L. Austin made the claim that there is no language in which a double positive implies a negative during a lecture. To which Sydney Morgenbesser responded, "Yeah, yeah." https://t.co/LvV1JgHqiP
The first African American animator at the Disney Studios was Floyd Norman, who started as an in-betweener at Disney in the 1950s. He became a full-time animator in time to work on “Sleeping Beauty” in 1957 and also worked on “101 Dalmatians” and “Jungle Book.” He quit Disney after Walt died in 1966 to co-found Vignette Films, working on, among other things, the intro animation for the TV show “Soul Train,” and later on the “Fat Albert” show. He eventually returned to Disney as a story artist and writer, working on “Robin Hood,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Mulan,” “Toy Story 2,” and “Monsters Inc.” He’s still with us, at 90 years old.
One of the most profound parts of my job is hearing about people like Willie Bell Gibson. Her former students were so clearly shaped by the high standards she set for them in her classroom, her wry humor and her vocab words (VSBs if you know). https://t.co/olgvWLxyfw

@fortnitebussy1 Dylan saying "that's smart" is classic Dylan—just like in episode 2.04 when he uses the same phrase in response to Kier's idea of going into the waterfall to muffle Dieter’s cries.
