A meme with Bugs Bunny smugly, curtly, saying: “no”
a short story in two pics.
Viola Davis giving Michael B Jordan his Actor Award
The cover of August Wilson’s play Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
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 💜✊🏾
Someone told me recently you went to Brown?
This.
Say that.
"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.

Isn’t it??
Aww you are very sweet. I’ll definitely order Justin’s book when I get home!
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 🤷🏽♂️
This is exciting!

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.
she wasn’t ready but he certainly was ✊🏾🤭☠️

exactly. Fuck BAFTA, too.
My mom and I had this exact same conversation.
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 🤭🤭🤭
🤭🤭🤭
Go Leah, indeed! 💜✊🏾
What a loser
