Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Black unemployment reached its lowest level ever recorded in history. Now under trump, our voting rights are under attack, he’s ordered museums to change the way they cover slavery, he orchestrated the largest mass firing of Black workers in history, and has drastically cut funding to HBCUs. He is leading and encouraging a war against our community.

Generative AI is a political project orchestrated by the US government to pollute the information ecosystem until it becomes impossible to verify information, the goal is unchecked corruption and impunity

At 17, Michelangelo cut a deal with a priest. He would carve the church a wooden statue. In return, he got to slice open the dead bodies kept in its back room. The Church saw cutting up the dead as a sin, so he worked quietly. He kept at it for years, long enough to learn the human body better than most doctors of his time. Then he painted that secret into the most famous ceiling on Earth.

You have seen The Creation of Adam. Two fingers reaching across a gap, almost touching. Now look past the hands, at the red cloth wrapped around the older man on the right. In 1990, an American doctor named Frank Meshberger sat staring at that shape and worked out what it was. A brain. Slice a real one down the middle, lay it over the painting, and the folds and curves match up.

The crease under the pointing finger lands exactly where a deep groove cuts across a real brain. A kneeling figure’s leg sits where the nerves behind your eyes cross over. The brain stem, the big artery at its base, the little gland that runs your hormones, all of it in the right place. And those two famous fingers never actually meet. There is a thin gap between them, the same kind of gap a signal has to jump to get from one brain cell to the next.

One painting could be a coincidence. So in 2010, two scientists at Johns Hopkins studied another stretch of the same ceiling. There is a panel where the old man’s neck looks swollen and lumpy and wrong, and people had bickered about it for centuries. Michelangelo could paint a flawless neck in his sleep. He made this one strange on purpose. Set it beside a real brain stem and the shapes are the same. He had tucked one into the throat. A few of those details would not show up in any anatomy book for more than three hundred years.

Now, plenty of smart people think this is all nonsense. Our brains are built to find patterns. We see faces in clouds and rabbits in the carpet, so maybe we are doing the same thing here. That lumpy neck has also been called a swollen thyroid, or the brain of a fish. Fair enough.

But think about who this man was. He cut open the dead for ten years, until a powerful family came after him for dissecting one of their own. He once wrote that his real skill lived in his head, and the hands only followed. Give a man like that a blank ceiling and total freedom, and he puts the brain in the one scene that calls for it: a still, empty body filling, for the first time, with a human mind.

Gen Z grew up with catchable monsters, talking sea creatures, a plumber that went to space, kids that could transform into aliens and dragons, and Minecraft.

Do you have any idea how comically evil a society has to be to make them largely anxious, unemployed, and depressed?

So if about 2% of the world population is trans and every few weeks you hear of multiple trans people going missing/being murdered for their identity…..how is that not a crisis?
