@IAMNJERA Thank you :)

The twist pissed me off, but this was a fun interview to read. @Be_Vic is always on it.

You cannot go anyhwere in the US anymore without feeling taking advantage of. Every restaurant, every lease agreement, every purchase. Everything is so blatantly predatory. Like they don't even care to be subtle about the fact that they're operating in bad faith. And we're all just submissive to it

@Be_Vic asked #QuintaBrunson about what happened on @AbbottElemABC and why! hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features…

yall couldn't even handle different skin colours bfr

@mxwzy @JeffJSays I am so sorry to hear this

Some career news: I was among the 11 talented storytellers laid off from Axios yesterday. I’ll always have immense gratitude for the relationships I’ve made and the events I got to cover over the past four years from the Oscars to the Final Four. I welcome any help in finding my next role. My DMs are open and my email is maxwellmillington@gmail.com

Actually tired of how you all diminish journalists simply because we don’t wanna be on TikTok making videos. That is its OWN skill set. Just like interviewing. Just like reporting. Just like writing.

And it's disgusting

“We’re gonna have to hope that we have brothers and sisters who figure out this platform stuff and not sell it.”

Some of y’all switch up on the same people who helped you survive your worst days. That says everything about your character.

This is industry is so brutal. You have to protect your peace.

Black people always have to be understanding.

#RIP Eric Dane. On his battle with ALS, he told Diane Sawyer in June: “I’m angry because my father was taken from me when I was young, and now there’s a very good chance I’m going to be taken from my girls when they’re very young.” Incredibly sad. hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/eri…

Angela Bassett Says Entertainment Industry Must Move "Beyond Symbolism Without Infrastructure" hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…

Angela Bassett on her thoughts about AI, the regression of D.E.I. efforts and the entertainment industry at large: “Someone said earlier, and it’s true, we are living in a moment where the language of inclusion and belonging is being challenged, rebranded and in some cases, erased altogether. Words that once felt like promise and possibility are now treated as words to avoid. And this shift has landed in our very real lives, real careers and real dreams. At the same time, our industry is transforming at lightning speed. Technology is moving faster than wisdom. Business models are shifting under our feet. Stories are being shortened, flattened and sometimes stripped of their soul in the name of efficiency and projected progress. And in moments like this, I believe it’s fair and necessary to ask, where do Black creatives fit into this future? Who gets to imagine it? Who gets to participate? Who gets to decide? I came into this business at a time when there were very few examples that told me that a Black woman could live a full, complex, enduring life on screen, and even fewer that suggested that she could ship what happens behind the camera. But what carried me forward was community. What pushed me to keep going was hope. Those Black men and women who made room, those peers who told the truth, those audiences who showed up anyway and a persistent sacred belief that our stories are not trends. They are truths.” 🔗 hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
