Was watching the k-drama, ‘THE ART OF SARAH’ & there’s a scene where a girl is wearing a tiny van cleef necklace & earrings & her friend says, “Who are you an African tribal chief?” Immediately turned it off.

Locals don’t think LA is evil, only transplants think LA is evil. Because they come here and they do evil shit, because they’re strivers, and then they’re like “it wasn’t me, it was the Santa Ana Winds”

Run don't walk to your local theater! I Love Boosters is sensational. Fav film of the year! #Iloveboosters

Boots Riley’s #ILoveBoosters is a mood boost. Maximalist insanity with an explosive, dynamic design. Everything is absolutely on point, from cast (Keke & co!) to costume (Shirley Kurata!!) to creature design (Alec Gillis!!). Need the score/ soundtrack on vinyl now.

The same country that fought to NOT end slavery.

I need u in there today. If you wait a week or two to see I Love Boosters, it won't be in theaters, so you might as well read the spoilers. If we don't have the theaters packed this week, they snatch us off screens. And some heavy hitters come next week and the week after.

You’re right, the US isn’t real, just like this “assassination attempt” you tweet of.

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players: “You know I'm seeing a little bit of- ‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them. Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’ I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks. Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤” (via Naomi on Threads)

Des'ree – You Gotta Be - 1994

Did you know Spencer Pratt wrote a book that was released THIS YEAR? Did you also know that in that book, his memoir, The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain, Pratt wrote about needing money for a trip to Brazil, where he planned to spend a month competing in jiujitsu and shooting an indie film. So he hatched a plan to swipe photos of a teenage Mary-Kate Olsen from his friend Max Winkler — son of Happy Days’ Henry Winkler who dated Mary-Kate in the 2000s — to sell to the press for $50k to pay for his trip to Brazil. Now he's using donor money to pay for his Bel-Air Hotel room and extravagant lifestyle. the-independent.com/arts-entertain…

Or the mayor of LA. Please y’all don’t vote for that grifter who spent millions on crystals instead of homeowners insurance.

One of the greatest verses in hip-hop. ✨👑✨

Dear Los Angeles, See what's going on in Garden Grove? This is the type of crisis situation mayors (and governors) have to deal with. It's very serious, and requires an understanding of how to work with authorities and the ability to make informed decisions quickly - because people's lives are at stake. Sure, it's Orange County. But LA is always one earthquake, one terror attack, one violent riot, or one uncontained wildfire away from the next crisis. Choose someone with more experience than being on a reality tv show, and selling crystals.
