Throughout its 168 year history, Scientific American is known as much for its writers as it is for its exploration of science and technology. Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, have written for the magazine. Danielle Lee is another one of its well-known scientific writers. Lee, a biologist who studies animal behavior, mammals and the ways organisms […]
Lord forbid if anyone on Welfare would be so bold to have air conditioning and a television. Because if they do decide to commit this most egregious crime against humanity, welfare recipients won’t sleep at night knowing that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is there to expose them from the comfort of a FOX News studio. Yes, I […]
“What is there to be done? The first and most important thing is to recognize how we came to this pass. Both sides did not do this. Both sides are not to blame. There is no compromise to be had here that will leave the current structure of the government intact. There can be no […]
So, Rush Limbaugh thinks he’s like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Rush Limbaugh is one funny white man. No seriously, folks; the sooner you accept him for the comedian that he is, like me, you too will refuse to take him seriously. After all, the only people who take anything he says as gospel are […]
So, does Antoinette Tuff — the brave woman who talked the gunman down and stopped him from committing yet another school shooting massacre in but this time in Atlanta — have to be animated like Charles Ramsey or Sweet Brown to be widely celebrated, as a hero, in mainstream media? Am I the only one […]
Internet flaming—or trolling—has been a … thing for as long as the World Wide Web has been in existence. In fact trolls and the internet go together like Chipotle and explosive diarrhea. And lest you’re a person susceptible to bubble guts, sometimes it’s best not to feed that kind of hunger. As technology and social […]
In a move that surely will be blamed on President Barack Obama, Cumulus Media has decided to pull the plug on both Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh’s respective radio programs. As free market economics would have it, according to POLITICO, Cumulus Media has decided against renewing their individual contracts at the end of the year. […]
Florida teenager Rachel Jeantel— controversial witness for the prosecution and the last person on the phone with Trayvon Martin just before he was killed—appeared on Piers Morgan Live Monday night, in a segment that followed anonymous juror B37’s obscured sniveling on Anderson Cooper 360, on CNN. Rachel‘s testimony and disposition on the stand during the […]
For those of us interested in freedom, justice, and equality, the past week has been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride. With landmark Supreme Court decisions handed down on Affirmative Action, the Voting Rights Act, and Marriage Equality, to say that it has been exhausting would be putting it mildly. Add to said exhaustion the fascination […]
As much as it pains me to share this information the day after Juneteeth; a few days ago, a segment of the social networking realm were in a tizzy after co-beacons of the internet media’s dark underbelly MediaTakeOut—(World Star Hip-Hop shares the distinction)—reported that a popular Houston-based stripper and self-proclaimed “twerk killa” who goes by […]
There has been a new development in the case of the black woman brutally beaten by two Jasper, Texas police officers. Recently, I wrote about the story and featured video footage of Keyanika “Shea” Diggles being savagely beaten, and dragged by her feet to a jail cell after she was unable to come up with […]
At this week’s Values Voters Summit, Dr. Ben Carson, a renowned surgeon who has become a rising star in conservative circles, had to work hard to compete with some of the hyperbolic, alarmist and crazy rhetoric coming out of the gathering, but he found a way: Speaking at the Values Voter Summit this morning, Ben Carson told […]

TMZ has reported the death of Josh Marks, a very memorable contestant on Master Chef. I was so sorry to see this headline run past my news feed this morning. It seems like something is causing our mentally volatile to become less and less capable of maintaining the will to live. Although I do not […]
Since African Americans aredisproportionately represented in public sector jobs — in other words they disproportionately work for the government —allDigitocracy took a cursory check around the Web to see how black news organizations are covering the U.S. government shutdown. Unfortunately, we didn’t find a whole lot specific to black folks. Of particular interest, however, is the […]
