“I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. The Negro’s greatest stumbling block is not… the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who prefers a negative peace (the absence of tension) to a positive peace (the presence of justice). Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.”

“Crazy Dion” Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960

he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man

he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?

when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times

the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)

he’s still alive!

4.Tic-tacs are labeled sugar free but each tic-tac is nearly all sugar. They get away with this because by law for something to be sugar free it has to have less than a gram of sugar but since a tic-tac is less than a gram it can be labeled sugar free.

5.We’re all addicted to something; some addictions are just socially acceptable.

6.In space there is no up or down. Yet space ships are always in the same position when they meet each other in sci-fi movies.

7.The nicest people you could ever meet are often the saddest.

8.The ultimate form of laziness is working incredibly hard to get your work done so you don’t have to do anything later and can just be lazy.

9.If insects suddenly disappeared from the planet all life would soon end but if humans suddenly disappeared all life forms would flourish

10.Dad bods should be called “Father Figures”

11.There’s probably lots of scents from childhood we’ll never smell again because products and chemicals of old were deemed unsafe over time.

12.If you ask someone in your dream a question you’re essentially just asking yourself a question.

13.Bread is made from plants. Peanut butter is made from plants. Jelly is made from smooshed plant. PB&J = Salad

14.When both people awkwardly stop typing because they see that the other is typing, it’s the digital equivalent of two people moving in the same direction to avoid one another

You can do a good solid 30 year chunk of history from 1955 - 1985. And have everything play out over 6 to 8 seasons.

It has all the elements you need to make good TV. Lots of murder, lots of corruption, lots of sex, marginalization of women, religion, drugs, hot people with Afros, and Pam Grier would be someone’s grandma on the show and we can see those big ass titties again.
