Happy 60th Birthday, to the legendary Queen of Pop Janet Jackson.
She has earned ten Hot 100 #1 singles, the only act to score seven top-five hits on the chart. She is the recipient of 5 #GRAMMYs, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and has sold over 200 million records worldwide.
Michael Jackson becomes the first artist in history to chart in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in six different decades (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s).
40 years ago, on this day, @JanetJackson released “What Have You Done For Me Lately?” It was the 1st single from her 3rd album, “Control”. Produced by Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the song went on become her first #1 R&B hit and her first Billboard Top 10 Pop hit (#4).

🚨🇮🇱 I CAN‘T STAND THIS PROPAGANDA ANYMORE.
Yes, I’m glad that Israeli hostages have been freed. And just as glad that Palestinian prisoners have been released. But a few things need to be made clear:
FIRST: It’s absurd that Israelis are called “hostages” while Palestinians are labeled “prisoners.” That’s propaganda. It’s the same thing: human beings who’ve had their freedom taken away, on both sides.
SECOND: The released Israeli hostages appear well-fed, smiling, not a single kilo lost. Clearly treated well under the circumstances. In contrast, the Palestinian prisoners look like they’ve just walked out of a death camp: emaciated, scarred, aged by years of abuse. Tortured. And no one talks about it.
THIRD: Everywhere I read: “Hamas killed all the women, only men were released.” That’s simply a lie. A malicious one. The women who were still alive had already been released in earlier exchange deals. But facts don’t matter when it’s time to push the next hate-driven narrative for $7000.
FOURTH: Everyone talks about a handful of Israeli hostages, but no one mentions the tens of thousands of Palestinian hostages abducted by Israel. Many of them children. Imprisoned without charges, without trial.
FIFTH: And no one talks about the tens of thousands of civilians killed in Israel’s genocide.
SIXTH: While the ‘ceasefire’ (it’s just a matter of time until Israel breaks it again) is being celebrated, radical Israeli settlers are still violently stealing land in the West Bank; with full impunity. They break international law daily, and no one seems to care.
SEVENTH: Politicians across the world are shamelessly cucking for Israel, offering blind support while refusing to even mention the crimes committed in Gaza, the ongoing apartheid in the West Bank, or the endless aggression toward neighboring countries.
EIGHTH: The same governments and media that claim to stand for human rights, international law, and “never again” are now either silent or fully complicit: funding, arming, and excusing an apartheid regime in real time. When Palestinian lives are dehumanized, erased, and bombed into dust, suddenly all those values vanish
So no, I will not take part in this propaganda. I will not whitewash Israel’s crimes.
And yes, I still stand by my words: A STATE LIKE ISRAEL SHOULD NOT EXIST.
