Just a reminder that TWO MONTHS have now gone by since the deadline for releasing ALL of the Epstein files.

Trump's corrupt DOJ has released less than half, and those that were released were illegally redacted to protect pedophiles and their enablers. (Victims names and images were exposed.)

Happy Black History Month

ugh

WD and Seagate confirm: Hard drives for 2026 sold out Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

I saw a conspiracy theory yesterday that the goal is to eliminate all local data storage and push everything into the corporate cloud where it will be scraped to train A.I. (and exploit us)

And I'm having a difficult time dismissing it

Governor Pritzker and Rev. Jesse Jackson at Mayor Harold Washington's Centennial Birthday Celebration in 2022.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement.

He broke down barriers, inspired generations, and kept hope alive. Our state, nation, and world are better due to his years of service.

I’m ordering flags to half-mast to honor him.

May his memory be a blessing.

Jesse Jackson’s opening speech & "I am somebody" to the Wattstax Music Festival in 1972.

damn...this just broke me. I remember watching this and saying it along with the tv

damn...this just broke me. I remember watching this and saying it along with the tv

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson
🙏🏽

I was just thinking about this...

Screengrab of a real police report made in Pima County Arizona by a criminal pretending to be me and falsely confessing to the kidnapping and murder of Nancy Guthrie.

The criminal cult stalking and SWATTing my family has again escalated to making false police reports while impersonating me "confessing" to murder, hoping when our home is violently raided by the police, again, we will be injured or killed this time.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

The local police aren't even allowed to chase in order to avoid things like this!

Narrator: He has not been “totally exonerated”

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

We are the laughing stock of the world.

Please enjoy this tiny Ursula who is here to curse your day and turn you into a shriveled husk of your former self.
I mean I've been a shrived husk for years and really it's not that bad.

Robert Duvall latest: Hollywood legend dies at age of 95 American actor and filmmaker Robert Duvall has died at the age of 95. In a career spanning seven decades, he won an Oscar, a BAFTA and multiple other awards. Follow the latest.

The words 'legendary' and 'great' are often bandied about to describe some actors. In Rober Duvall's case they are both apt and accurate.
RIP #Consigliere

ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK

The John Carpenter marathon continues with one of my favourites (they’re all my favourite) ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.

Misery (199O) movie picture collage

Misery (1990) 🎬🖤

Directed by Rob Reiner

This Team USA women’s team just had another shutout victory with another 5 goals. They are so close to matching the 98 Olympic team that scored 36 in just 6 games, but that team gave up 8 goals, and this team only 1 goal! 🤯 what we are getting to witness is the greatest display of women’s hockey

Reminder that Robert Duvall also absolutely rules in the fantastic Jack Reacher film.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Here's a reminder that we Concentration Camps on US soil, ICE is still unlawfully detaining people at random.

Apparently people aren't excited about spending $56,000 per ticket to attend a World Cup game.

Hmmm, what else could be contributing to a lack of hype?

Gung Hay Fat Tuesday.

MLK Jr and his lieutenants standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in April 1968, including James Bevel, Jesse Jackson, and Ralph Abernathy

Jesse Jackson and Andrew Young reunited on the Lorraine Motel balcony much closer to the present

As of this morning, only one of the men who was standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel that fateful evening is still living.

Since Brother Jesse passed at 84 this morning.

One of my most sobering memories of Jesse Jackson was going to my civil rights veteran uncle's funeral, looking to my right and seeing Jesse Jackson sitting next to me, damn near inconsolable and in tears.
