When Doves Cry
It seems Michael needed help throughout his life and everyone just tried to exploit him, so I give him some grace. I have zero interest in seeing the film.

Maybe Del ditched the site for Facebook 😉

The irony of Truth
Good 'ole (aka Shannon King), you going back more than 15 years. Here is a conversation "On Percival Everett" from 22 years ago. It is hard to imagine we had conversations like this here. I took it for granted, because that is what we did on the Internet back then... before Facebook launched and all the Black people flocked there. It only took a few years to reach that level imagine if we continued to the same trajectory for the next 22 years! Today Yuki posts on interesting things on Facebook and Mark is richer for it. @aka Contrarian I guess I'm sounding like a broken record griping about Brothers supporting Facebook. We (Black people) simply do not support Black platforms anymore, and this lack of support has only increased over that past 20 years A Platform like Facebook can do so much demonstrable harm yet we double down in our support. So, if it is not obvious, I'm a little salty about this. I'm not losing any sleep over it, cause I'm gonna continue to do what I do regardless. There are however, indications that the tide is turning, so there is reason for optimisms 🙂

Shattering an Icon
The derivation or meaning of names like "Tdka" is unknown to me. I see them around a nowadays and I'm sure they mean something. Maybe I'll ask an LLM. From my seat, anyone in 2026, actively working to enrich Mark Zuckerberg can't justify being so critical of a Sowell (one in a glass house... ) That is not to say that I disagree with the critique, I just don't know why any Brother is freely giving long form analysis to Facebook. We already learned this lesson. I looked for the book, Fundamentals of Economics (2027, 900 pages), to add it to the site, but I could it. The only books by Tdka were on Amazon. Again, nevermind.... I'm glad you shared it here @aka Contrarian

Del when he was a boy
This is not Del,. Del just popped into my mind when I saw the cover :-) I bet it does favor him as a kid
