Viola Davis’s excitement at seeing Michael B Jordan’s name in the envelop is my favorite thing about 2026 so far.

The fact that she cited August Wilson while doing it? Chef’s kiss 💜✊🏾

"Operation Rough Rider," "Operation Midnight Hammer," and
"Operation Southern Spear" are all names given to military actions undertaken under Hegseth and announced in all caps on social media.

Almost every time I hear a content creator start off with “we don’t talk enough about” or “people are not talking enough about,” it’s a topic on which there are 490 books, 1245 articles, 352 Facebook posts, and 11,413 tweets

Just say “I havent had any convos about this thing” and be done with it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Glad I saw this post. I should read that. But also so weird: I just ordered Infamous Bodies the other day!

And I do wonder—because I’m me—whether other racial or ethnic or sexual or gender slurs would have gotten edited out or kept in.

Okay, back to work. [3/3]

I do, however, care about how BAFTA (and the BBC?) handled the situation and i do still find myself thinking about how they cut out a black winner’s pro-Palestine words but kept in a white man shouting out the word nigger. [2/3]

For the record—other than the fact that i wish his statement had been more focused on the unintended harm he caused—I actually don’t give much of a fuck about John Davidson beyond the fact that it’s funny to me that he shares a name with a guy I used to love to watch on TV in the 70s [1/3]

Today I played “They Reminisce Over You” twice.

Yup, still the best hiphop song ever recorded.

And no, I will not be debating this here or elsewhere.

Had no idea this was happening but I’m never surprised by that very small man y’all call the president.

Nothing bores me more than Black people who feel compelled to remind you how much they don’t love Sinners.

Yes, the group chat was in shambles yesterday 🤭🤭🤭
