Anyway—a perfect example of the issue with the current state of reading is addressed by Fran Lebowitz in conversation with Toni Morrison—people use fiction as a mirror to see themselves instead of using it as a doorway, or a window, as a way out.

The most important Oscar speech tonight wasn’t about film. The director of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” just said this from the stage: “You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think.” He was talking about Russia. The audience knew he was talking about America too. Elon Musk owns the platform you’re reading this on. David Ellison is buying CNN — Pete Hegseth said it will be “far better” when he does. The DOGE deposition videos were removed from YouTube. The Epstein files are sealed. The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count. Countless small acts of complicity. That’s how you lose it. A nobody is more powerful than you think. Never stop connecting the dots.

For a classroom of 30 students, that is $25 per student. It is estimated that Doug Ford's government has reduced funding by over $1500 per student.

Happy international women’s day to this scene

When Franklin Joined Charlie Brown In 1968, It Turned A Simple Comic Strip Into A Civil Rights Milestone. When Franklin joined Charlie Brown in 1968, it quietly turned a beloved comic strip into a civil rights milestone. Franklin was introduced to Peanuts at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, just weeks after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. He was one of the first Black characters to regularly appear in a mainstream American comic without being reduced to stereotypes. Created by Charles M. Schulz, Franklin wasn’t written as a lesson or a punchline. He was simply a kid — polite, confident, thoughtful — who talked with Charlie Brown, shared lunch with him, and later sat beside him in class. That simple act mattered. At a time when schools across the U.S. were still segregated or violently resisting integration, seeing a Black child and a white child treated as equals in a national comic strip was quietly radical. Schulz faced backlash for Franklin’s inclusion, especially when he depicted Franklin sitting next to Charlie Brown in school. He refused to back down. By insisting Franklin remain part of the strip without stereotypes or fanfare, Schulz normalized what much of America still resisted: equality. Franklin didn’t shout slogans or march in the streets — but his presence helped shape how a generation of children saw race, friendship, and belonging. Sometimes progress doesn’t arrive loudly. Sometimes it shows up in the funny pages.

AND let’s not forget the OG Gordon!! In 1969, when there were so few Black male leads on TV-my dad, Matt Robinson-the original Gordon-helped shape a new kind of representation Thank you, Dad, for being part of something that changed the world one child at a time. 💛💚✊🏾 #BHM2026

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

February is Black History Month! Join us as we honor Black and African American communities, cultures, and history. Sesame Street has been forever shaped by Black artists and leaders who have brought so much to our neighborhood. Thank you for making our street such a special place! 💛💚
