THEE Princess of Wakanda 🇯🇲🪷

I did this the moment I got my new Toyota home. Stripped it of every dealer badge. At least no badge inside the gas door. My older Camry had one there. Unbelievable. If you are a dealer just stop or pay me $1,000 a month in advertising.

One of many lines seen around the city today. Dozens of #Louisiana citizens signing petition to recall Governor Jeff Landry.

The most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.

Remember when they used to tell us not to run the water while brushing our teeth because it's wasteful? remember? Now they're data centers.

IF YOU SOLD 600 THOUSAND PEOPLE A NONE EXISTENT PHONE AND REFUSED TO REFUND THE MONEY YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND LOCKED UP 🤷

I see this happen every day — and it's so typical of New York City. It's the greatest city in the world. 🙌🙏🫶👇

But I thought Mamdani ruined NY

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes. © 6IX.

I will keep repeating this: Dear Black Mothers, Fathers, and Grandparents, please stop sending your 3,4, and 5- star athlete children to the leading state schools in LA, AL, and TN, to play sports. Thank you.

Cinderella wanted to party, it was the Prince who wanted marriage. Ariel wanted to travel, it was Eric who wanted marriage. Belle wanted to study, it was the Beast who wanted marriage. Patriarchy trains us to look at women through the wants of men, so that we lose sight of what women want. — Farida D.

Yeah as someone working in food service people just have no idea how imminent shortages are and how bad it's going to be. Prices have gone up basically every week and we straight up can't get a bunch of produce right now.

LSU wasn’t named after the animal "Tigers." They are actually named after the “Louisiana Tigers”, a particularly brutal brigade of rebel soldiers in the Civil War who also slaughtered hundreds of freed black men in the New Orleans Massacre 1866.

Democrats redrew two states, only after letting the voters decide. Republicans have redrawn, so far, six states, without a single vote from the public. Spare me your bullshit outrage, congressman.

Mad we don't learn about how King Leopold II of Belgium killed over 10 million Black people, Churchill murdered 3 million Indians, British transported 3.1 million Africans during the British Slave Trade, but we know how many wives Henry VIII had. 💀

The damage from a reactionary Supreme Court: Citizens United allows billionaires to buy elections. Ending Roe v. Wade takes away a woman's right to control her body. Louisiana v. Callais strips voting rights away from Black Americans. Our rights are under attack. FIGHT BACK.

You know how unprecedented it is for an entertainer to become a global phenomenon TWICE, 44 years after an album's release and 16 years after his passing? No singer who ever held a mic is touching that.🕴🏾

Fun fact: fraternity row at Ole Miss wasn’t integrated until 1988, 10 years before I graduated high school. Let’s talk about how, when the Sigmas were set to be the first of the D9 to move on to fraternity row, their house mysteriously caught fire. This isn’t the history lesson yall wanna go down…….

It's been fascinating to see US soft power (art, movies, fashion) flopping in tandem with US hard power (military actions, war). This is a good, smart take on the US being embarrassed by Trump's functionaries at the Venice Biennale

Listen to every word this woman says. The data centers are going in the poorest communities. Data centers are not bringing jobs with them as most of the jobs for them are remote. Human beings cannot work eight hours a day in a place emitting a frequency that makes human beings ill. I’ll tell you one person who’s gonna be busy as fuck over these data centers…@ErinBrockovich. All that so-called red tape that Trump got rid of in his first term is enabling this disaster. This was always the plan. x.com/realericmoutso…

Remembering when Obama was barred by McConnell from putting Garland on the court because the next Presidential election was 9 MONTHS away and that was "too close." Now we just throw out ballots for an ongoing IN-PROCESS election. Wake up. Stop pretending the rules are the same.
