Come for the culture. Stay for the economics behind it. Tracking Black culture, ownership, labor, business, media, policy, AI, sports, and power.

For years, Black reality TV was treated as drama. That was always too small. The bigger story is economic👇🏾 https://t.co/K7MroI99IE #blacktwitter

Just Happened!

A US jury finds OpenAI CEO Sam Altman not liable to Elon Musk for straying from its charitable mission.

"This is the reason given that we're seeing reporting that Musk waited too long to sue."

This is a big loss for Elon, and a big win for OpenAI. Competition in the AI space is really starting to heat up. I can only imagine there will be a few big winners.

Teddy Bridgewater was suspended for giving rides and support to his high school players — young men he calls his sons. In a tough Miami neighborhood, he chose to protect his players. His powerful response speaks volumes about the type of coach he is.

Peep game: 62 percent of SNAP recipients are white. But if clowns like this can present racist tropes to grossly misrepresent who the average SNAP recipient is (read: it’s the Black and brown folks out here scamming!) then it not only gives people permission to dehumanize poor folks, but convinces the white people who also need SNAP to vote against themselves.

In 2022, 50 percent of SNAP recipients with children earned income — so they also paid taxes. In general, a lot of people on SNAP use it to supplement low wages.

The companies that employ the largest percentage of SNAP recipients are Walmart and McDonalds. Walmart has 14,000 employees on SNAP and 10,000 on Medicaid.

So Nick, the next time you go to Walmart or McDonalds, go ask an employee where their $1,200 rims are.
