lauradi7dwI did not watch the state of the union show (speech doesn't seem to cover it, from what I can tell).
Senator Tammy Duckworth on twitter last night
" For all those who didn't watch tonight, allow me to summarize:
The liar lied again."
Instead, I watched "Sunday Best," a documentary about how Ed Sullivan helped integrate TV variety shows and showcase Black talent. According to the Time magazine article below, it was released in the summer, but I had never heard of it before David Bianculli mentioned it yesterday on NPR. Netflix mostly recommends Korean shows to me, plus the top-rated new US stuff. I guess this documentary didn't have the numbers of Bridgerton, for example, which has been hyped lately (Bridgerton is made in the UK but really strikes me as a US show, part of the Shondaland universe. I watched parts of the first episode of this season, then quit).
