Winners of the 62nd Grammy Awards will be announced Sunday night — but there’s a cloud hanging over the ceremony. Last week, Deborah Dugan, the recently installed president and CEO of the Recording Academy — which hands out the awards — was placed on administrative leave. Earlier this week, Dugan filed a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that includes allegations of sexual misconduct and vote rigging.

White people constantly comparing everything to slavery really shows how little knowledge and respect they have towards slavery and black people

Remember when that cop pepper-sprayed students in 2011? UC Davis paid $175K to scrub it from the internet’s memory https://t.co/5prbgrx1WL

Nice try fuckers.

$175K wasted with every reblog.

Let’s make sure they DON’T get their money’s worth.

Oh hey, my 2020 vision says THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Hey, so what exactly was that cops name again…?

Lt. John Pike. It took more than two years of legal battles to get his name, and the names of other officers involved, released to the public. 

He got fired… but retained his retirement benefits, and got  $38,000 worth of worker’s compensation for the stress he went through after the incident.

The students collectively received $1m, with each pepper-sprayed student receiving $30,000 individually.

Going against the decluttering craze: the book hoarders who defy Marie Kondo

These bibliophiles say a book is far more than just an object

The Independent

“Books are more than objects. They are filled with ideas, stories, versions of ourselves, memories. Bookshelves are like your wardrobe: they send a message. And the message these famous book-lovers shared with us is loud and clear: Books spark joy.”

The incident, known as the Ludlow Massacre, occurred in April of 1914, and it sparked a 10-day battle in the coalfields of the American West. It was one of the bloodiest episodes in the history of American class conflict, and one of the closest things to war between compatriots since the Confederacy was defeated a half-century earlier.

we are already living in the cyberpunk future and i know this because within a span of 3 days we went from this tweet:

to thousands of people making phony images and replying to them with their passionate desire to have them as a tshirt to overload the bots with nonsense and junk and send out warnings to shoppers like this:

and now we even have people replying to pictures of baby yoda with “i want this on a tshirt” knowing how ravenous disney is being with copyright in hopes to get the stores taken down altogether

i dont know what it is about stuff like this and the whole turn mei into a symbol of hk protesters thing but, its really reassuring for some reason

And the next step…

Truly remarkable that something like this video being posted on the official White House YouTube channel isn’t a press-stopping scandal.
