Tucked in the after­ward of the sec­ond, 1982 edi­tion of Hubert Drey­fus and Paul Rabinow’s Michel Fou­cault: Beyond Struc­tural­ism and Hermeneu­tics, we find an impor­tant, but lit­tle-known essay by Fou­cault him­self titled “The Sub­ject and Pow­er.” Here, the French the­o­rist offers what he con­strues as a sum­ma­ry of his life’s work: span­ning 1961’s Mad­ness and Civ­i­liza­tion up to his three-vol­ume, unfin­ished His­to­ry of Sex­u­al­i­ty, still in progress at the time of his death in 1984.

Jason Duggar & Maddie DuggarThe couple, who married in 2024, said they are “angered” by the “unthinkable” actions of his brother Joseph. “We, like many, have spent the week completely shocked, confused, and grieved to list a few emotions,” Jason and Maddie said in a statement shared on Instagram March 26. “We are disgusted to hear the news about my brother, however, this isn’t about how it’s impacted our lives.

Some lives become so woven into the fabric of our culture that we experience their influence long before we ever learn their name. For generations of Black Americans, George E. Johnson, Sr., was one of those people. I am one of the privileged many to have called him a friend. Founder of the Johnson Products Company with his late wife Joan, and one of the great architects of Black enterprise in America, George passed away on July 6th at the age of 99. His passing marks the end of an extraordinary life, but his legacy reaches far beyond the shelves…

The largest monthly decline came from motor fuel, which fell 9.6 percent in June. Other notable declines included movie and theater admissions, tobacco and smoking products, and purchase, subscription, and video rentals. The largest increases came from gardening…
