The slow death of print media is kinda sad. Most kids under 10 have never held a newspaper. I couldn’t tell you the last time I read from a physical magazine. An athlete getting the cover of Sports Illustrated used to be a huge deal. Now, nobody cares
Another Nike NBA jersey faux pas: no Christmas Day jerseys. That’s lightweight trash. Even if sometimes corny, I thought they were a nice touch by adidas.

to dismiss black women is odd and woefully inaccurate. The first photo is demographics from the national election. And in case you were only referring to Georgia, the last two photos are specifically demos from GA. What are you talking about?

on the impact of Latina women: “That spirit and perseverance that Latinas use in their daily life, the struggle to pay their bills and the struggle to show up to their jobs … that’s the same perseverance and spirit they used to show up to the polls,”
Welcome. I stopped putting my fandom in the hands of 60 yr old white GMs and owners and decided to roll with the black man my age a while ago. What is stopping you from doing the same my brother?
go to therapy your way through it
address what you’re depressed about your way through it
seek professional help your way through it
understand that seeking professional help doesn’t make you weak your way through it
write your way through it
sing your way through it
dance your way through it
draw your way through it
paint your way through it
build your way through it
cry your way through it
love your way through it
smile your way through it
breathe your way through it
take what you need.

About a year & a half ago, I made a “Ha” thread with different screenshots. It’s remarkable how everyone was brought into New Orleans through a 4 minute video.
Try to understand the wrong thing I did and why I did it. Since turning 30, my biggest resolution is being honest with myself about my faults and trying to learn from them as much as possible.

was ultimately about 3 relationships: Issa & Lawrence, Issa & Molly, and Issa & herself. All were monumentally satisfying to see handled in this last season. Im not sure there’s been a show dedicated to a black woman’s love to her friends, romantic partner & herself.
You can story tell through photography without your subject being dead center. Your camera can be off center, out of focus, in motion, in the dark, etc. I don’t think there’s another rap video that give a full picture of an environment-a true and authentic place-than “Ha.”
I'm fully ready to concede that this is the greatest rap video ever. I still remember seeing this for the first time in 7th grade and my mind not really grasping what I was watching or Juve's flow.
The big swirly thing on the top makes it go up and down. The lil swirly thing on the tail makes it go left or right. In movies, they explode in the coolest of ways. 🤷🏽♂️ that’s all I got.
I’m really glad FX is showing episode 1 again of
#AtlantaFX
because Katt Williams was rrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyyyyy fuckin good. So was the music too.
@Katchin05
In high school, we had to read "Oedipus Rex" and I thought it was bullshit... until I saw that there's a LOT of men out here that want their wife to be their mom. It's crazy.
Watching
#VersaceFX
and the show just isn’t working for me. The acting has been great, which is the interesting part. Even Ricky fuckin Martin has been great. But the story revolves around Andrew Cunanan and the people he killed. It feels like FX sold us the jig.
In HS, Josh Smith was named MVP of a tournament, but after receiving the trophy, he decided to give it to a player from the losing team.
“He deserved it more than I did,” Smith said.
That player was Monta Ellis.

Years ago, you could get like 10 tacos for $10. In college when we would leave the club/party, we would hit up the Bell and fest like kings. I’ve never bonded with the homies over a tuna melt.
“Spider-Verse” is, legit, one of the best comic book movies ever, animated or not. He’s already represented extremely well in the medium he’s currently in.
@samanthamarie
That’s wild because I feel like it was almost like an unspoken tradition - once you hit a certain age, kids papered their walls (some a little, some a LOT). It was like our first vehicle for self-expression.
“You think darkness is your ally” is such a tough line bc Batman 1000% thought darkness was his ally.
Bro cut them lights off and thought he was bouta sweep the board and instead got his back broke 💀💀💀😭
If you think the world is hard, aggressive and dangerous, isn’t that the reason you SHOULD raise them gently? Is your child not allowed to have security, peace or love anywhere in this hard world? It’s ok raising your children with emotional stability.
Gentle parenting is cool, but what happens when the child grows up and people outside the home are everything but gentle? That’s not to say you have to take the opposite approach either. You can be gentle at times and a little aggressive.
Toward the end, you can hear Steve say the quiet part out loud: “You can’t help the poor if you’re one of them.” Yes, you need means to help others but what this really means is that he knows being poor in America is a death sentence and the clapping audience knows too.
when Shannon said "I don't want you to head crack me" when talking about buying sneaks from sellers, it was in that moment that I KNEW he was the greatest of all time.
