From the Distributed Blackness endnotes: ““That ho over there” is a recent gendered, misogynistic addition to ratchet’s meaning. It denigrates women who are considered to be promiscuous. The reference includes an expert digital practice component: thots are accused of frequent posting of sexual content for attention, along with overuse of IG or Snap visual and audio filters.” (2020, 247)

Yes, and that shift away from teen culture wasn’t accidental. Streaming and social media collapsed everything into the same space. Teens and adults are now consuming the same content on the same platforms, driven by the same algorithms. And those algorithms are not built for niche audiences, they are built for scale, retention, and ad revenue. So instead of developing teen-specific stars, as we saw in the 90s and early 2000s, when MTV actively segmented youth audiences through shows like TRL, and the heavy rotation of teen pop, creating space for teen culture to develop separately from adults, the industry now pushes whatever can perform across all age groups. That is why “teen music” faded and “viral music” replaced it. That is also why it feels like teen culture disappeared. It didn’t disappear. It just lost its boundaries. Teen culture no longer develops on its own. It gets absorbed into the mainstream in real time.

Victory for Afroman over the sheriff's deputies who sued him for defamation and invasion of privacy through false light. "In all circumstances, the jury finds in favor of the defendant. No plaintiff verdict prevailed. So the matter will be concluded with defense verdicts."

Hate to say it but a lot of the civil rights and justice leaders will end up in mountains of trouble as allegations are leveled. History isn't going to look kindly on how they treated women and girls. This could lead to an avalanche well beyond Chavez

The police's war on working-class Black life and culture in Atlanta works in tandem with the city's encroachment on un- and under-developed neighborhoods—and the green ecosystems standing in the way of gentrification. scalawagmagazine.org/2023/02/cop-ci…

Sinners has wrapped up its theatrical and award show run. And what a run it was. I wrote a collection of six essays on it. 9500 words 🫠 With illustrations provided by @/bigsamart1 on IG. Available to read for subscribers of the Jenkins and Jonez Patreon Patreon.com/jenkinsandjonez

There has been an alarming development in our legal system. Judges are starting to contract with a private corporation started by an ex-Palantir employee--whose bio says he is also a former speechwriter for Israel's UN ambassador--to have **secretive proprietary AI help decide cases for them.**

This story is HORRIFIC. This DACA recipient was brought here by his parents in 1999 when he was 8 years old. He is a laboratory scientist who's had DACA since 2012. Now he's languishing in an ICE detention center because the Trump admin failed to process his renewal in time!

As someone who makes film budgets for indie films as a living. Y’all have no idea how little some of these folks are getting paid.

"There is, perhaps, no better example of the stakes of “keeping cool” than the case of Nat King Cole, who at the pinnacle of his career in the 1950s was a most visible avatar of “Black” Cool and respectability. Cole’s death at age 45 in 1965, is biggest cautionary tale for the cost of his public unflappability." medium.com/p/9806e292234f

The United States Postal Service, USPS, doesn’t “lose” money. It costs money. It’s a public service. Don’t fall for the privatization propaganda.

It does make it redundant to play both songs at parties when people Electric slide to it. But it’s also funny bc my 45+ people tell me that nobody started doing it to Candy until The Best Man…it was only done to the original song in the 80s-90s before that
