‘The Magicians’ Did What ‘The Last of Us’ 80-Minute Long Episode 3 Did In 5 Minutes

The way that The Last of Us zoomed through Bill and Frank's falling in love and growing old together in "Long Long Time" is reminiscent of The Magicians Season 3, Episode 5 "A Life in a Day." Only the SyFy series did it in about a tenth of the time, and with characters we already know.

The College Board Kicks Off Black History Month by Scaling Back African American Studies Curriculum

Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates testifies during a hearing on slavery reparations held by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

Who put a white man in Florida with no background in education in charge of deciding what parts of Black history should be taught in schools around the country? By all appearances, the organization in charge of AP courses just did.
