From 2018, "How The Sears Catalog Was Revolutionary In The Jim Crow Era"

NPR:

It turns out that feeling, the ability to shop without being judged, resonated in a different, more profound way for black Americans in the Jim Crow era. Cornell historian Louis Hyman argues the Sears catalog was radical in its day because it allowed black Americans to have the same shopping experience as whites.

"ConocoPhillips Alaska executives eulogized the destruction of Doyon Oil Rig 26 — colloquially known as 'The Beast'"

"The rig was the largest mobile land drilling rig in all of North America, officials said, standing six stories tall and weighing roughly 9.5 million pounds"

@trtworld

The Doyon 26 rig, one of the largest mobile land-based drilling rigs in North America, overturned while being transported along an ice road in Alaska. Weighing more than 4,500 tonnes, the rig tipped over during transit, sparking a small fire. Officials said the environmental impact was minimal and no oil infrastructure was damaged. Built for extreme Arctic conditions, the rig plays a key role in major projects, including the development of the Kuparuk oil field.

This is a pretty remarkable interview with Chris Tucker about Rush Hour 3

One of my favourite things we ever published: @ianshade.bsky.social interviewing Chris Tucker about RUSH HOUR 3. Halfway through the interview, Tucker asks Ian if he's seen the movie, and Ian just can't bring himself to do the disingenuous junket banter anymore. filmfreakcentral.net/2007/08/unde...

— Bill Chambers (@flmfrkcentral.bsky.social) January 27, 2026 at 5:25 PM



From 2007 (I've never seen any of the Rush Hours or X-Men The Last stand (which is also mentioned)):
Here, a brief pause leads the interview to take a more freeform turn that requires some explanation beyond a straight transcription. He very directly asks me: “Did you see the movie?” I explain that I’ve only seen a workprint. “What did you think?” At first, Tucker’s friendliness puts me on the defensive; I recoil with the old polite standby that it’s “got a lot of interesting things in it” and “gave us a lot to talk about,” but Tucker is listening intently, and I quickly find that I’m already pre-empting myself by explaining my discomfort with the film’s Ugly-Americanism. “Somebody else said that today, too,” he says. “So you didn’t think that was necessary.” No. I continue down a familiar path by pointing out the racial jokes throughout the series, particularly Rush Hour 3‘s gags about fried chicken and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. “See, that was all Brett. Yeah, it had a lot of stuff that, y’know, even I was like–” he emits a few sounds of reluctant disapproval. “But I understand, I understand totally… So you think it’s a little too racist?” I do.

I go on to tell Tucker about my Ratnerthon, and how instances of racism and misogyny can be found throughout the director’s oeuvre. Tucker asks for a bit of clarification

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
