Happy Thursday!

Lots of good shareable stuff today to help us be better at being anti-racist, and also learn quantum computing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

See you tomorrow!

This. Video.

This video shows how todays struggle for black people looks no different then it did 50 years ago.

It’s powerful. It’s sad. Watch it. Share it.

Martin Luther King and Anne Frank would be the same age as Barbara Walters if they were alive today. We tend to think they lived in very different times, but they were all born in 1929. #MLKDay

Song Exploder: “Shook Ones, Pt.II” by Mobb Deep

If you’re unfamiliar with this series, Song Exploder breaks a song down to its core with the artist that created it - it’s spectacular.

John Bolton’s new memoir looks like its going to be interesting

John Bolton's brutal memoir about his 17 months in the White House portrays President Trump as an easy mark for dictators and others who know how easily he falls for flattery.

Why it matters: There has never been — and may never be — another book like this. Trump's national security adviser took hyper-detailed, real-time notes, and is sharing them with the world just nine months after leaving. 

The Justice Department last night asked a federal judge for an emergency temporary restraining order against publication of "The Room Where It Happened," scheduled for next Tuesday.
