What did President Biden remember, and when did he remember it? A report about classified documents turned into a scathing indictment of his memory: one he responded to angrily at a news conference Thursday night. I’ll break down the accusation, a gaffe Biden made during his response, and put it in context with his rival Donald Trump.
Super Bowl LVIII is this weekend, pitting the Chiefs against the 49ers. Who will win? Las Vegas wins, of course! My thoughts on the city’s rise as a sports powerhouse, and the phenomenon of legal sports gambling.
A new documentary tells the story of Black astronauts at NASA. We’ve come a long way, with stories like “Hidden Figures” revealing how African-Americans made the space program possible. But racist tropes persist, including among one of NASA’s top contractors: Elon Musk. I’ll break down how the conservative campaign against DEI initiatives is reviving old stereotypes.
