The administration who convinced an entire generation of Americans to not go to college and pick up a trade instead has now decided they’re going to shut down the nations largest trade school who trained and educated the entire generation of Americans who were told not to go to college.

@BlameEricLamont I really used to bump that Candice album 😭 makes me think of others like Evvie from The Four, Syesha from American Idol, the list is LONG unfortunately

Seeing the mishandling of Jamal Roberts got me to thinking of some prior X-Factor, American Idol, & The Voice winners/contestants. Black contestants with amazing voices who were fumbled by talent competitions. Black contestants bring ratings, history making moments, & stories. Melanie Amaro literally won X-Factor USA’s inaugural season and ended up with nothing. They gave a clear R&B diva the debut single of an over the hill pop star “Don’t Fail Me Now”. Awful. It was at that moment I knew they didn’t take her serious. Candice Glover won American Idol in 2013 with a debut album released in 2014 with little to no support behind it. Stunning voice, beautiful Black woman. Nothing was done for her. Marcus Canty was literally the one to watch. He had a little Bobby Brown, some Usher, some Dru Hill. MC was a star. The fact that an album didn’t immediately follow his time on X-Factor was BS. However, “Used By You” remains a gem. Truly shoulda been an R&B superstar. After being unfairly eliminated from American Idol in 2003, Frenchie Davis resurfaced on The Voice in its inaugural season. I knew American Idol was full of shit when she was disqualified but Antonella Barba was allowed to stay on in 2007 when revealing pictures leaked. Mind you, Frenchie was upfront and honest. The photos never even surfaced. However, Broadway welcomed Frenchie with open arms. And last but most certainly not least: TARRALYN RAMSEY. Originally debuting as a gospel act in 2000 and then reintroduced as the winner of Born To Diva on VH1 and then AGAIN on season one of The Voice. TR is that artist who can sing anything but the teams and labels behind her have no idea of what to do with her. Again, a Black woman with a beautiful voice and chocolate skin they never saw it for. I think finding a writing/production team that understood her could have changed the entire direction for TR. Truly one of the industry’s biggest crimes.

Me with my YouTube murder documentaries 😭😭😭

RAYE after each song on her album

.@slayyyter's 'WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA' to debut at #25 on the Billboard 200 with 25K units first week (via @HITSDD). The biggest sales week and debut of her career.

People with ADHD have what’s called an “interest-based nervous system.” They literally can’t force themselves to care about things that bore them. It’s not a choice. It’s not willpower. Their brains physically won’t produce the neurochemicals needed to engage unless something triggers interest, urgency, novelty, or challenge.

Omg STOP PUTTING IN YOUR LOGIN INFORMATION WHEN SOMEONE DM’S YOU ABOUT VOTING FOR SOMETHING

Gay kids read thousands of books about straight characters, yet they still grow up gay. But y'all are worried if your son, Billy, reads just one book where a penguin has two dads, he is going to wake up the next day and ask Brad to prom.

Every piece of news about 2027 budget proposals reads like someone who is deliberately trying to harm people, piss everyone off, and is not concerned about electoral outcomes.

@kp_official_1 @thigh_andmighty This the first thing I thought of when I saw this ☠️ 😭😭😭

@MathewNoKnowles Omg what?!?!? 🥺 RIP 😢😢😢

It would be cool if Apple could do SOMETHING with videos. Like a button that takes you to a playlist of all the music videos from the songs/albums you downloaded. Ugh ideas on the TABLE.

These are so damn good but gah damn they be tearing the roof of my mouth UP 😭

This is Le Van O, a Vietnamese boy born without eyes as a result of Agent Orange. The United States military sprayed approximately 20 million gallons of herbicides including Agent Orange across Vietnam between 1961 and 1971. The dioxin in Agent Orange is one of the most toxic compounds known, and its effects have been documented across multiple generations.
