Being older can really be a curse when you remember the past. You KNOW what happened before when a lot of people simply do not have those memories or experiences.

In 1990-91 CNN got ratings on that Gulf War that nobody had seen since the moon landing, and news orgs have been chasing that dragon ever since.

1990-1991 was my freshman year of college. We were all glued to CNN in all the common areas of our dorms watching the Gulf War. The next time I experienced anything like it was when I was once again glued to the tv with my classmates my first year of law school watching the OJ Simpson trial

the first Gulf War/Desert Storm in the 90s is tied, in my brain at least, to the emergence of CNN as a household name - the young Wolf Blitzer reporting from Kuwait with rockets streaming overhead, etc.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

Here were the top songs 30 YEARS ago today on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996:
1. "One Sweet Day" - Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men
2. "Not Gon' Cry" - Mary J. Blige
3. "Sittin' Up In My Room" - Brandy
4. "Nobody Knows" - The Tony Rich Project
5. "Missing" - Everything But The Girl

3 Feet High and Rising—De La Soul

There are so many magic numbers on this album, so much unbridled creativity, with whipsmart sampling and the most infectious flows. It's just so damn lovable.

The best hiphop debut ever? Quite possibly.

Damn sure is!

Black Celebration, White Agitation What a truly bizarre Black History Month.

Wanted to repost what I wrote this weekend since Sinners swept the SAG awards. I am SO HAPPY they are getting so much love after that accursed BAFTA awards ceremony 😤

Ombre French tip feathers? She's a couture bird, for sure
