Today, Ross Douthat compared the coming AI revolution to European presence in the Americas. About this, Douthat writes, “the Age of Discovery changed the world completely without changing the fundamentals of human existence.” You really have to be blind to a lot of human history to say this.

I bet it’ll look great when it’s done!
Are you doing this yourself?!!!

Unfortunately, I can believe it has to be said, and I appreciate that you said it!
Racial discrimination against People of Color is certainly divisive. Jackie Robinson, who served in a segregated military and who faced court martial for protesting against racial injustice, had a lot to say about this.
“Many celebrities of the time, including Lorraine Hansberry, Langston Hughes, and Paul Robeson, were targeted by the FBI for their outspoken Marxist views. The government wanted to force them out of public life and erase their influence.”

It was a fantastic museum. So sad to see it closed.
You’re from the Bronx! You know what to do!!!

It’s an amazing quote. It’s on a slide that I use in my U.S. History survey, and we discussed it thoroughly in my sports history class last semester (where I used a great textbook called A People’s History of Sports in the United States).
I can really relate to that goat. #wicked
