“…If that’s what [Timothee] said he wouldn’t be getting dragged. And him getting dragged is more important to me than the point that he should have made…”

Finally someone sees it the way I see it

Steve Perry’s adlibs closing out Journey’s “Any Way You Want It” are so good.

Chef’s kiss.

Research question for the Hivemind:

Beyond Julia, Good Times, and What’s Happening, can you name any US TV shows in the 1970s that featured Black kids and/or teenagers?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I haven’t been able to watch the show myself, and doubt I ever will, but good for you, Daryl Hannah.

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

• Ryan Coogler’s streaming mini-series version of Toni Morrison’s Song or Solomon (can you imagine that final Milkman scene?)

Viola Davis’s excitement at seeing Michael B Jordan’s name in the envelop is my favorite thing about 2026 so far.

The fact that she cited August Wilson while doing it? Chef’s kiss 💜✊🏾

"Operation Rough Rider," "Operation Midnight Hammer," and
"Operation Southern Spear" are all names given to military actions undertaken under Hegseth and announced in all caps on social media.

Almost every time I hear a content creator start off with “we don’t talk enough about” or “people are not talking enough about,” it’s a topic on which there are 490 books, 1245 articles, 352 Facebook posts, and 11,413 tweets

Just say “I havent had any convos about this thing” and be done with it 🤷🏽‍♂️

And I do wonder—because I’m me—whether other racial or ethnic or sexual or gender slurs would have gotten edited out or kept in.

Okay, back to work. [3/3]

I do, however, care about how BAFTA (and the BBC?) handled the situation and i do still find myself thinking about how they cut out a black winner’s pro-Palestine words but kept in a white man shouting out the word nigger. [2/3]

For the record—other than the fact that i wish his statement had been more focused on the unintended harm he caused—I actually don’t give much of a fuck about John Davidson beyond the fact that it’s funny to me that he shares a name with a guy I used to love to watch on TV in the 70s [1/3]

Today I played “They Reminisce Over You” twice.

Yup, still the best hiphop song ever recorded.

And no, I will not be debating this here or elsewhere.
