Meanwhile...Lupita is a favourite in film and beauty circles because her appearance disrupts many historically narrow Western beauty standards while simultaneously fitting classical ideas of beauty and presence due to her unusually strong facial symmetry. Una will be alright.

I honestly can’t stop laughing at this, lol… This is why I always tell people to do what works best for them and when it no longer works, they should opt out… There’s no universal manual for relationships. Me personally, I can’t marry a woman who would tolerate nonsense like this from me. I wouldn’t even do such, but I also can’t have a woman in my life who has no voice or can’t question anything I do… Nah…

When I got married, it took me years to change my name on my bank app 😂😂😂😂 Guess what? My husband never sent money there. He said, “When you do the needful, I’ll start sending money to that account, for "my wife," not "Not Ndubuisi's daughter.” And he stood on it. Nobody had to tell me twice, I went and changed the name 😂

I always admire people who use a lot of words to say nothing.

This is what I call "The Death of the Reader". Authors write for readers, who aren't authors. Artists paint for non-artists. Musicians play for non-musicians. This keeps fiction, art, and music grounded. But when any group stops creating for an external audience, and starts trying to impress only each other, they create a weird, self-reinforcing feedback loop. This isn't clothing, or even fashion. It's a costume party. They're all trying one-up each other with something weirder and more eye-catching. So when an athlete, of recent and topical celebrity, who isn't a part of their Bored Billionaires' Club, shows up in a dress that's just a dress, of course they are going to mock her. She's just revealed that she didn't get the memo. That she's not an insider. How she looks to the world at large is not the point. This is why 99.999...% of copies of "Infinite Jest" have never been read. This is why John Cage "wrote" four minutes of silence. This is why competitive bodybuilders from the 80s looked like Greek gods, and modern ones look like gargoyle freaks. It's all the Death of the Reader. Hollywood doesn't make movies for you now. They hate you. They make movies for each other. And then cry about how you didn't buy a ticket, because they think your only role is to pay for their onanistic circle of self indulgence. This game isn't going to stop. It's just going to keep getting weirder until someone's dress malfunctions and catches fire, and the rest of us all have a good laugh.

Fellow journalists, just as a thought experiment: Consider, for a brief moment, that Michael Jackson is innocent. We can return to regular programming (the default assumption of guilt) soon. But just for a moment….consider it. From someone who has spent a lot of time researching the artist, interviewing those close to him, trying to approach the subject fairly, there are some legitimate things to consider, among them: - I’ve personally spoken to some of Jackson’s accusers as adults and they vehemently defended him. This shouldn’t be too surprising as they have also defended him publicly and in some cases on the stand under oath, before later changing their positions. - MJ, of course, faced an exhaustive criminal trial and was acquitted of all charges in 2005. That case, when removed from salacious headlines, was actually quite weak. The posthumous cases are objectively weaker. - I’ve always felt the most compelling allegation would be one not attached to millions of dollars. Every posthumous allegation has been tied to changed stories and enormous sums of money, which would seem to at least invite some level of scrutiny. - The vast majority of people who spent time at Neverland as children continue to assert that nothing sexual took place. That matters when trying to establish patterns of behavior and grooming. - Multiple unannounced raids on Jackson’s properties revealed nothing incriminating. Not the case obviously for other recent high profile cases (Diddy, Epstein, etc.), where the evidence is clear. - Nobody was clamoring for “complexity” and the “whole story” when Leaving Neverland came out. The media left its premier at Sundance in complete lockstep even though it intentionally left out hundreds of conflicting accounts. - MJ was and is a target because of his differences/eccentricities and because of his wealth. - Race continues to play a role. We can deny it or rationalize it but it’s always been there. James Baldwin saw it as early as 1985. White journalists have always been quicker to judge, malign, and assume his guilt. Even the “Wacko Jacko” tabloid nickname has racist roots. Is none of this context relevant? If MJ was in fact not guilty as he asserted, as his family and friends believe, as a jury determined, the treatment he received in his lifetime (and still, decades later) would be reprehensible. It’s at least worth considering…

In the end, there was a wolf. But no villagers came when the boy cried. When are American mid-terms again?

If we finally get an empathetic and sincere leader after these locusts, it’s then you’ll realize Nigerians are not adaptive as we assume. They’ll demand for things they didn’t demand under the leaders that hate them.
