Scotch Snaps in Hip Hop

The Scotch Snap is everywhere in modern hip hop – a metrically accented sixteenth note followed by a dotted eighth note. Why is it everywhere? And where did it come from?

The answer lies in how American speak english.

More Progress on Repeals of Penal Slavery Exceptions

Since Utah and Nebraska’s legislatures succeeded in putting bills on the 2020 ballot, more states have introduced bills have been introduced to repeal penal exceptions from state constitutional bans on slavery and involuntary servitude:

A similar bill to SJR0159 passed the Tennessee House unanimously a few years ago but died in the Tennessee Senate before the end of the session.

Why Tucker Carlson pretends to hate elites

Why would Tucker Carlson, who used to brag about being an “out-of-the-closet elitist,” use his primetime Fox News show to rail against the “ruling class?”

Tucker Carlson has branded himself as a populist, condemning the “liberal elite” that he argues makes up the American “ruling class.” It’s a good shtick, and it’s helped him stand out from other Fox News hosts. But while Tucker decries the “elite” on his show, he regularly ignores major stories of Republican economic policies that harm the working class, choosing instead to focus on bogus culture war stories.

That isn’t an accident. Carlson’s show is meant to distract Fox News viewers from Republican economics, channeling their frustration and anger at groups that don’t deserve it. That kind of misdirection produces what Marxist theorists call “false consciousness”: when workers are tricked into accepting their own exploitation.
