I just can't help but think about all of those HBCUs that withheld class yesterday due to threats of violence from people that thought that it was a good idea to blame all black people for a shooter that took place in Orem, Utah at a public event in the daylight.

I always have friends visit Niagara Falls, and I tell them to go the extra 2 hours to Watkins Glen. I tell them it'll change their life.
They never go.
That's cool.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s
An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.
1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s
This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.
Here's why.

"immune" to systemic injustices that hold them back in perpetuity. Hilarious.
And I'm not saying that RFK Jr's heart is in the wrong place. He's just woefully naive. And I like to think that I'm as resilient as they come.

How anti-bike propaganda uses psychological tricks to defend car supremacy.
TL;DR: Next time you read anti-bike propaganda, spot these tricks:
- False choices
- Fear-mongering
- Topic shifting
- Tradition worship
- Strategic omissions
Remember: Streets are for PEOPLE. Some just happen to be in cars

Where's Hulk Hogan in all this? That's my question. You'd think with his unique bundle of experiences he'd be able to score Secretary of the Treasury or something. He'd be all like "What are you gonna do when this two tons of fiscal policy come down around YOU?!?"
