@Djoko_UTD This has to be AI? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Tennis question in a TV show 🤣

I know it's been 40 years and some of you were still sperm in your father, but all y'all screeching NO KIDS WATCHED THE CHALLENGER EXPLOSION are not only stupid, you're pig ignorant. 1) A teacher was on board as an astronaut 2) Lot of teachers wheeled TVs into their classrooms so that kids could watch a teacher fly into space. 3) Those kids saw the Challenger explode One of the worst videos I saw was of Christa McAuliffe's (the teacher in question) classroom -with a sub teacher- watching the video as the Challenger exploded.

@AFpost Interesting.

@blackishpress Uhm...🫩

Wanda Sykes says she likely won't host the Oscars again, and talks about the moment between Will Smith and Chris Rock "Y'all gotta realize, I was working that night, and I watched my co-worker get popped, at work, you know what I'm saying? That's not supposed to happen. I was upset, like physically upset about it. And then it even sickened me more, watching everybody just sit out there and not react. And then to give that man an award afterwards, I was like, I'm done with y'all." Sykes says Smith called her to apologize: "Yeah, he did, he called, but you know what? I was actually physically sick. I had a, I had a sinus infection, so I didn't pick up, but he left a message. I received it. I accepted. I'm good." 🔗 instagram.com/reel/DWhAnzUAb…

@OCpatriot_ @AmericanMama She is a television judge who needs ratings. Your expectations are wildly inappropriate for these circumstances. And, she still endeavored to follow the law, in spite of her emotions otherwise.

The Judge here is ridiculous. She says in front of everyone that she emotionally wants to side with the ex-wife but the law forbids her to, then tells the ex-husband she's dismissing his countersuit merely because he's a millionaire. What a ridiculous activist judge, she should be forced off the bench.

He is the luckiest man alive! Younger wife initiates divorce. Three hours after the divorce papers are signed, he goes to the store to buy a six-pack of beer so he can go home and watch some sports. On a whim, he buys a lottery ticket and wins $20 million! Now she thinks she’s entitled to it.

Investigators found the stroller in a ditch and located the child’s footprint near the burial site

Taylor Townsend hasn't lost a doubles match since January. After making the AO quarters, she has won 3 straight titles with 2 partners (Hunter in ATX, Siniakova for IW & Miami) and is now on a 14-match win streak. Not to mention she just won her first Sunshine Double. Wow.

Today is 5 HEARTBEATS 35th ANNIVERSARY Thanks to my friend co-writer @KeenenIvoryWayans CAST, CREW,FANS for making this a classic.If you haven’t seen the doc “MAKING the FIVE HEARTBEATS” it’s available on all platforms. As we say in the film “Got nothin but love for ya Baby!“

In 1976, after 16 years of physical and emotional abuse, Tina Turner made the scariest decision of her life. She waited until Ike fell asleep in their Dallas hotel room, then fled with nothing but 36 cents in her pocket, a Mobil gas card, and the bloodied clothes on her back. She crossed a busy highway on foot, hid among trash cans, and checked into a Ramada Inn with a swollen face she had to cover with sunglasses. Her silent mantra that night? “I will die before I go back.” Divorced in 1978, she was broke, in debt, and playing small Vegas shows and cabaret gigs while the industry had mostly moved on. Many thought her career was over. In 1983, at age 43, she signed with Capitol Records. Her cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” became a surprise hit, giving her the green light to record a full album. Then came May 29, 1984 — the release of Private Dancer. At 44 years old, Tina didn’t just return… she exploded. • The album sold ~12 million copies worldwide. • Peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and stayed in the Top 10 for 39 weeks • “What’s Love Got to Do With It” became her first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 — and won Record of the Year at the Grammys • She took home four Grammy Awards in 1985 alone, including for the album’s rock and pop vocals. Tina reinvented her sound, her image, and her destiny. She blended rock, pop, and R&B with that legendary raspy power and electrifying stage presence. No longer “Ike’s ex,” she became the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll on her own terms. She proved that it’s never too late to start over. That strength can be rebuilt. That survival can turn into unstoppable triumph. As Tina herself said: “Sometimes you have to let everything go… purge yourself. If you’re unhappy with anything, whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it.”

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Randy Fine just exposed Republican Senate Leader John Thune for getting an escort to skip through lines at the airport. Thune and Fine are both responsible for TSA not being funded and the rest of America having long security lines. Wow.

Actor Alan Ritchson talks about the modeling industry: "it’s like legalized sex trafficking" “There are very few redeeming qualities to working in that industry. Let’s be honest, it’s like legalized sex trafficking. The industry is not regulated, and it’s a widely known secret that if you’re hired on a job, you’re basically being passed off to a photographer to be trafficked. The number of times and situations where I was put in horrific environments where sexual abuse was the goal and the paycheck that you were desperate for in order to survive was the carrot, I can’t count on two hands. It was quite often.”

Alan Ritchson's neighbor says he dropped charges against Ritchson because he has zero interest in going to court "I was only interested in the safety of my neighborhood because he was racing through the neighborhood." via TMZ

@unlimited_ls Just lying.

🚨NEW: Video shows how the fight started between Alan Ritchson and his neighbor The neighbor stepped directly in front of the bike, causing Ritchson to flip over the handlebars The neighbor previously said he told the actor to “slow it down.” "I did push him because he was coming towards me on his, on his bike." "He did it again for a second time. I pushed him a second time, and I think the second time he got off his bike and kicked the crap outta me." 1ST Video/ TMZ

@TheDarkPages @LookAtDustin The comment (in Spanish) by the original poster is HILARIOUS ‼️

I cannot stop laughing at this. They sure got their money’s worth out of that staircase!! 🤣🤣🤣

@Matt_Pinner No.

Be Honest If someone gave you front row tickets to a Jennifer Lopez concert. Would you go?

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
