Updates: Jesse Jackson, Civil Rights Leader, Dies at 84

Jesse Jackson, whose impassioned oratory and vision of a “rainbow coalition” of the poor and forgotten made him the nation's most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of Martin Luther King Jr. and the election of Barack Obama, died on Tuesday at 84. Follow live.

Wow.

Speaking of whistles... it's just a countdown now to see how many hours it takes us to cross 750,000 whistles. Shortly after that we'll cross 500,000 for February.

When @courtneymilan.com told me we were going to ship half a million in February I was like "lol ok" but I should not have doubted her.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

I forget sometimes myself! 🙂

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

She suggests a lot of people (I can’t bring myself to call them authors) are doing this. If that’s true, it’s so nauseating and disheartening. On top of the news about Harlequin Historicals and AAR, it’s hard to feel hopeful about the genre today

fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords.

That’s a lot of heartbreaking news on top of the continuous dumpster fire in general 😭

It's been a great thirty years.... This is a hard column to write. So I’ll just say it: AAR is retiring. All About Romance launched in 1996. It was created by the incredible Laurie Gold, and shaped over the past thirty years by a remar...

What a dire timeline right now - even in romance. I'm going to write words about Harlequin killing the Historical line (a threat for the last decade) and now it's been announced that All About Romance, a 30-year old website is shutting down allaboutromance.com/its-been-a-g... #Romancelandia

I was mistaken earlier tonight about Salonga having a Tony nom tonight but but but Darren Criss AND Nicole Scherzinger BOTH won in their categories! And made me tear up! ❤️

Nicole Scherzinger just killed it on the Tony Awards with a solo from Sunset Blvd and then Darren Criss did the bridge to the commercial break. They and Lea Salonga are all nominated for Tonys tonight! So was Conrad Ricamora! Filipinos represent!! 😍
