Pro tip: lot of tweets require you to acknowledge that implied “TO ME” that isn’t written in it. They work better when you just append the tweet yourself for them.
Them: “XYZ comedian was never funny…”
Just say it for them “TO ME” and keep it moving. Saves us all the time.
Or… the blessing… because you thought you were out… but God helped you find a little more in the bottom of the bottle. How many times in life did we think there was no way but we found just a little more push to get thru. Be blessed like that bottom of the bottle lotion. Amen.
Hey… It’s me again talking about how major car companies should drop retros just like sneakers… because who wouldn’t want this car updated with today’s insides?!
Imagine being 24 years old, one of the richest and most celebrated actors in the world and friends with the top producers and musicians so yall just make a single… and it becomes a super huge hit.
Lifted my sweater to give blood… noticed I was… dry skinned. Said under my breath “damn I’m a lil ashy” and the nurse jumped right in and said “YOU SURE ARE. I WASN’T GONNA SAY IT BUT SINCE YOU DID…” and handed me her lotion…
She was doxed because of the dog. Want to know how I know... because you still don't know the name of that lady yelling Michael or that man threatening the Fed Ex driver. Neither were treated that way... but you add that dog to this equation and here we are...
Handmaiden's Tale happening right before our eyes and most of the folks in the country tweeting and eating through it like it ain't... A reminder, the judiciary is being populated with folks that agree with this direction and their appointments are for life.
This jeopardy situation is a mess. Alex said he thought Laura Cotes should get the job. Everybody on social media wanted LeVar Burton. They go with the guy that was inside the house that no one knew. A mess.
Please don’t revise the history of who Hank Aaron was to be comfortable. He did not ignore racism. He did not solve racism. He existed despite racism. He fought and pushed back against racism. And many who “love” him today know people who would have spit on him. That’s reality.
Say it loudly: I prefer CANNED Cranberry Sauce to homemade for Thanksgiving. 🗣️🗣️🗣️GIVE ME THAT COLD PURPLE LUMP WITH THE CAN RIDGES ON THE SIDE SO I KNOW WHERE TO SLICE!!
Dear college athletic departments, I understand why you put up pictures of your former players that are/were pros... but in 2018 can we also hang some banners for the ones that became a school teacher or an engineer? Help your student athletes visualize success off the field too.
“Why haven’t other athletes like NFL players spoken out about mental health before?”
A reminder they have and many people ignored or dismissed them. Or even worse, jokes about them.
Kendrick is that guy. But that guy in reality isn’t that guy in your perception of those guys. Gangsters and nerds are all cousins who used to sleep on pallets at grandmas in the summer back in the day. Choices (and consequences most likely) sent them in different directions. 🫡
Cal-Maine Foods, the largest egg producer in the United States, reported revenue doubled and profit surged 718% last quarter because of sharply higher egg prices
Stephen A. Smith says he still finds it hard to go to the movies to watch a Will Smith movie and explains why Will Smith still needs to sit down and talk to the Black community about why he slapped Chris Rock.

Most people don’t need more financial literacy. Poor people know better than wealthy folks how to manage on tight budgets. They need more financial access. They need money.
Him: you sure you not getting too too lit at brunch today? You know how you get!
Her: don’t worry bout me I’m grown... I can handle mine! Worry bout Barbara from accounting. She got one more time to try me!
*2 hrs later*
Him: we should go..
Her:
Nick Saban tells the roundtable that an NFL coach has told him that players in the NIL era "come to them less developed and with more entitlements" than previously.
Them: “it’s not how he looks that sets him apart...”
Justin: “I’m literally doing the same thing they are”
Them: “🗣🗣🗣ITS NOT HOW YOU LOOK THAT SETS YOU APART, THO!!!”
Justin: “Literally doing the same things others have and y’all never paid attention tho... 😕”
It may be a little early, but Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without Wanda & Jamal.
In 2016 they went viral when she accidentally texted him instead of her real grandson.
But this year they honor Wanda’s husband Lonnie, who passed from COVID. Their story tonight ❤️

Pro Tip: There is no such thing as an alpha male. It was a made up term based on the misinterpretation of a study about wolves and all these years later some of y'all still running with it when Google is free.

And, a young lady with Haitian bloodlines on the last day of Haitian Heritage Month showing the French tournament operators where the power resides... is a point not lost on me...
“But the pain of the bottle hitting my palm” maybe you needed a reminder that you were going thru it to avoid it again. With every blow theres a blessing of lotion and a reminder that you needed to seek more resources. Read that again. And Amen again.
He has made it his life’s mission to make ASL more accessible for Black folks. If you are interested in reading more about Billy Sanders, visit this NPR article about him cc:

Man... this is a terrible thing to think, let alone say. You may not believe you have to please them... but they deserve the same humane treatment you requested and required when it was your turn to be the person in need of support. Damn, man... it really isn't that hard.
Listen here, vampire lady… thank you but ain’t nobody ask for extra shade with the needles! Now I used the lotion but she didn’t have to eat me up like that. I took a shower before the physical and didn’t lotion because I didn’t know what we were doing today.
This is going to be lost but the key word here, again, is "Justification" and how that word is reflected, used, and understood under Kentucky Law. A minithread -
Kentucky AG Cameron: “According to Kentucky law, the use of force by Mattingly and Cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. This justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges in Ms. Breonna Taylor’s death.”
Further, do people not understand that being a "Karen" isn't really about being a racist? Its about being a person who will needlessly invoke a desire to include authority figures to bolster their position of a perceived slight that must be righted immediately because they say so
"Only later did it become clear that lawmakers feared for their lives; that some of the attackers were hunting for congressional leaders; that there could have been a massacre."
Don't avert your eyes & don't excuse this.
The more we see & learn, the worse it is.
Hey, you know you left that food out at room temperature all day yesterday. That increased the likelihood of clostridium perfringens growing inside of it. Please be care with that food. And make sure you reheat it to at least 165° to at least give yourself a chance.
Y'all wish for history to do so much... saying history will remember... history will treat them unkindly... history will make sure we never see this again... when we already know from historical records how very little people pay attention to history... See also Black History.
Governor kidnapping plot. Parents and kids involved in school shootings. Perhaps we should ask what is happening in Michigan like we are always told to ask about Chicago.
Imagine a whole concert. Streamed worldwide. To diss you. That’s some strong hate right there my boy… got the whole venue joining in the celebration of your demise. My goodness that is buck nasty…
Buddy gave y’all $500 knowing he was coming for $2k in that tax return forever and y’all on the internet talking bout you were eating. No my friend, that was a PPPayday Loan that you thought you were scamming. You spent your neighbors child tax credit and refund money on hookah.
My son woke up at 3:42 am to ask me an urgent question: “Dad, if cheetahs, leopards, and jaguars all have spots, how can you tell the difference?”
Then walked back out and went to sleep.
I been up since studying because I failed that pop quiz.
It be ya own kids.

I know y'all not Kamala fans... but you really think the jamaican woman from the Bay who went to Howard just started listening to hip hop music to get your vote? You really gotta think some of these take through for yourself, slim.
Part of this EBT conversation is rooted in a desire to quell Poor People experiencing comfort and joy. We must acknowledge that many believe people that receive assistance don’t also deserve joy. That is wrong and wrongheaded but also a reality.
You do not require the blood of kings to flow in your veins to demand others respect your body and presence. You are never wrong when you demand others treat you right.
