[Image description: a screenshot from an r/askreddit thread, the question was, “What are the most interesting domino effects in history?”
And a response from user IAmNotScottBakula says,
“Star Trek: Voyager was not as well received as previous Star Trek series. In 1997, producers decided to add a new character in an attempt to boost ratings. Actress Jeri Ryan was brought in to play Seven of Nine. Jeri’s frequent separations from her husband, Jack Ryan, due to her acting schedule contributed to their decision to divorce in 1999.
In 2004, Jack Ryan became the Republican nominee for an open Senate seat in Illinois. During the campaign, the proceedings from Ryan’s divorce became public, and contained details of his sex life that did not make him look good.
The scandal forced Ryan to drop out of the Senate race in July, leaving the GOP time to only find token opposition to Democratic nominee Barack Obama. Obama’s landslide victory in the Senate race helped launch him onto the national stage, allowing him to pull off an upset victory in the 2008 Democratic primary and win the presidential election.
TL;DR- The lackluster writing of Star Trek: Voyager helped pave the way for the Obama presidency.”

Newcomer Devon Terrell plays Barry as he moves to New York City and enrolls in Columbia University. His navigation of biracial identity seems to be particularly front and center, and the film is already drawing its share of positive reviews.

Everyone loves Michelle Obama. In Southside With You (in theaters August 26), a movie about the Obamas’ first date, producer and star Tika Sumpter introduces us to someone with whom America is less familiar: Michelle Robinson.
Throwback, to when Obama won the election in 2008.
My President took the race seriously. It isn’t a game.
The pictures with him and Michelle’s mom sitting on that sofa really stood out to me. When he won and she touched his arm, there was no jumping up and screaming because leading a nation is serious work.
I’m gonna miss my President.
Seeing this makes all the feels from that night come back!!!!!! LAWD!!!!!!
This always makes me emotional, especially the picture of him and Momma Robinson. He had just lost his grandmother , and he was either going to face the most public disappoint or accept one of the greatest responsible without the last of his guardians around. Look at the polarity of his emotions. Bless 😭😭😭
This is all too emotional, especially now when he is about to leave and we still are not sure that narcissistic, idiotic and nazi moron won’t be the next president…
“My favorite story out of this is Malia, when she was 4, she had a little dance thing. Well, Michelle was gone that weekend so I’m taking her to ballet. And I get her in her little leotard and her little stuff. I did her hair, put it in a little bun.
We get to the dance studio and one of the mothers there right away comes up to Malia – she thinks she’s out of earshot of me and she says, ‘Sweetie, do you want me to redo your hair?’ And Malia who she’s 4 says, ‘Yes please, this is a disaster’. You know, she didn’t want to hurt daddy’s feelings.”
