McDonalds, Starbucks, and now Target among retailers discounting prices to drive sales. Makes many think that inflation we are still seeing is from corporate greed. Corporations blamed inflation to keep prices high once they saw consumers were willing to pay.
Thanksgiving question for BLACK ppl only: I see so many reels and toks with sour cream or cream cheese in the mac n cheese. Do y’all make yours with that?

People claimed Jaguar Wright was lying, crazy, and attention seeking. Some of her statements were dripping with homophobia but her initial claims of a pattern of wrongdoings is where I focused my attention and where I hope the Feds pay attention too
Michael J. Fox just revealed that after his health diagnosis, millions of dollars in contracts went away. He has been fighting to get his billing back up to pre-diagnosis levels for years now. Privacy is annoying for the public but probably best for their bottom line
So I think Corrine & the Fox family were being vague about details of Jamie's health (as is their absolute choice), so as to not jeopardize the deal for this new show with her & her dad.
We don't talk about the time Jay-Z had an intervention to put a muzzle on Timbaland because he was addicted to painkillers consistently talking crazy. Since he wants to talk about reckless behavior, lets start there...
Timbaland says Justin Timberlake should have put a “muzzle” on Britney Spears, following the release of her memoir:
“I wanted to call JT and say 'Man! You should have put a muzzle on that girl.'”
Even on lower budget projects the actors get Uber Black car service to set, promo, or back home. This is beyond cheap for a movie that will gross millions at box office
For a while people have been comfortable with genocide in Rwanda, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Myanmar, and once again Palestine. That’s just the past 25 years and most folks don’t bat an eye if it doesn’t impact their daily existence
Another episode of “How everything on this app originated with Black People” and “what most of what we know as Gen Z culture is just a whitewashed version of Black American culture.” I know that’s right honey! Let me get into this creator.
There’s a reason DC4 just worked. Those that get it, really get it 🤷🏾♂️
LaTavia: This is Destiny’s Child
(Love her speaking voice & BGVs)
Kelly: Alto Ad-Libs
LeToya: Those Ohs and Ahs
Beyoncé: Just Sanging!!
Lelee spoke a word. Girl groups will dissolve over one fight and hold grudges for years but will be quick to forgive a man that did them wrong 🤷🏾♂️

I’m actually second hand embarrassed for Sweet Tea at this point. First season is always hard for any newbie but it’s hard to watch all the ammo she gives the ladies

Aaliyah, one of my favorite Capricorns, used to lay this look down flawlessly. Capricorns have classic style that stands the test of time
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, inc has “revoked the membership of the three former Memphis police officers” whose brutal beating led to the death of Tyre Nichols
Imagine as a child you think you’re doing a nice thing for your teacher and then she posts you online for clicks and giggles. What part of this is uplifting the child or building community in your classroom? 🤷🏾♂️

during Freshman week in 1973 and been together ever since. Today, they celebrate 45 years of marriage. 💞
Happy Anniversary Ma and Pops!!
Tamia gave us the Country wedding song we deserved with the song Still. Love singers that can flip a remade song or original music to a different genre ❤️🔥
The purpose of the documentary, then and now, was not just about the condemnation of one man but rather an industry that supports sexual abusers and how our society doesn’t believe victims when they are women, especially Black women

She dropped using the Romney last name, disowned family, denied an election, got a whole new face and it still wasn’t enough for her party to believe she was loyal enough to their cause 😭

They were on Bridezilla Marriage Bootcamp on WeTV. During lie detector, she found out he was cheating before and after they were married. They eventually divorced I think 🤷🏾♂️
@queensofbravo
Why is it exhausting when Robyn kept making jabs at Karen about her wedding vow renewals during the pandemic? She even said that it was a super spreader event and that is why her and Juan were waiting up pandemic eased before walking down the aisle.....and yet still no wedding

MSNBC doesn’t cover certain topics very well. The obsessive coverage of Trump is nauseating for most viewers while ignoring other issues that matter to young ppl. How much has Rachel Maddie said about Gaza or genocide? Revolving door of Biden admin officials isn’t helping either.
Rising Country star Morgan Wallen issues apology after TMZ footage captures him yelling the N-word outside his home:
“I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back.”

In middle school, my number one referral this year has been inappropriate use of language and sexually harassing language. Kids have been consuming adult content for two years unsupervised and it’s hard for them to adjust to being a kid again.
Many of the federal workers, especially in DMV area used to throw shade at folks who aren't in their elite circle or achieved their job status. Now many are at food banks...

fans for years have been calling out the racist behavior of Ramona Singer and were dismissed at race baiters and wanting to be divisive. Those dismissive fans are super quiet now that it has been publicly exposed that she has committed racist actions.
