Tide pens too

Came here to say the exact same thing

So, she was like unapologetic bigot.

Got it

When you say less well, do you mean depressed/angry? Or using more right leaning language?

I feel like I’ve noticed the latter more

Welp, looks like Paramount (aka the Ellison guys who now own CBS) will now also own CNN.

We are definitely in this position because progressive leadership and donor ecosystem didn’t prioritize building out platforms and investing in talent.

Also nothing was done to regulate media ownership

Parents grew up in the British colonies and then spent most of their adulthood time in America.

Nixon, Carter, Reagan…etc

So between those two experiences, they seen some stuff 👀

Honestly the Epstein association made sense taking that into consideration, because clearly he thought little of women

As the emeritus is conferred per an approval process, I would hope there is a revoke process in place.

Though they probably haven’t had to pull this rip cord before, but hey, excellent time to practice!

So for me, seeing that version come to life as Dumas intended would be exciting!

Caviezel made that version to Jesus-y

And like, that’s not Dumas, he wrote a story all about stone cold revenge.

You did me wrong now you gonna pay energy. And that in and of itself is a damn good story

Right cause I remember being stunned he got to keep his post after that!

Summers should’ve been kicked the curb when he said:

There are “innate differences” between men and women and that might explain the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields.

So this is loooong overdue, and frankly allowing him to step down at end of year… is more grace than he deserves

Okay if this closer to the book, than that nonsense that was the movie Caviezel did… I’m here for it

There is an author who wrote a great novel I really like.

Went to find her other books, there weren’t any…

When did it come out? 12 years ago 🫠

Exactly.

The Instigators by Atima Omara | How Black Women Shaped American Democracy A powerful new book by Atima Omara revealing how Black women have long been essential to American democracy — and what their leadership teaches us today.

Hi! Since this post is doing numbers, My 1st book is coming out in May.

The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (And What We Can Learn From Them) is avail. 4 pre-order!

Aka why folks should listen to Black women. More details: www.theinstigatorsbook.com

Yeah at this point. But was acknowledging…

I mean great for inviting him, but bad for making accommodations that reflected his needs and everyone else in the room that would be offended by any tics

I mean at this point, a strong case could be made!

Yo…

BAFTAs put Davidson 40 rows back but he was next to a live mic???

And the BBC edited the other slurs out but not that one…?

Epic failure all around.

0/10

This will be a case study forever on badly bungled DEI

Warner Bros exec/lawyers are gonna have a BBC/BAFTA head and I’ll be cheering

We played video games. I watched the Dem response but that was my SOTU work for the night

For all those who didn't watch tonight, allow me to summarize:

The liar lied again.

Honestly, why the Democratic Caucus even bothered to go this is nonsense

That’s good because that wasn’t the case w/last reporting I saw.

Having read a lot of ways people w/ Tourettes navigate social settings or work, if they say something that lands painfully, and there is conversation about it, focused on grace & accommodation it seems to work for everyone

And not the “if you were mortified” statement he gave of course Lindo and Jordan were mortified.

I personally can’t even pull up the video for the replay, because it’s triggering

I think there is way to thread all of this, that acknowledges real harm and everyone involved has failed at it

There are a lot of people saying BAFTAs, BBC, and Davidson should apologize.

I don’t disagree with that assessment and though I know you’ve shared some Black Disabled folks opinions on the matter, I’ve read scores more from Black disabled folk that think Davidson should properly apologize as well

Can I say, we are enjoying TF outta this buddy adventure show and so many tie ins to the GOT characters later!

Yep it’s why I’d post and tap out. Or repost someone else’s point and tap out

I’m not arguing with y’all about it

That tells me ALL I need to know about how bad it was in Boston 😂

After considerable soul-searching, I feel compelled to withdraw from the BAFTA emerging talent judging panel. The organisation's handling of the unfortunate Tourette's N-Word incident last night at the awards was utterly unforgivable. I cannot and will not contribute my time energy and expertise to an organisation that has repeatedly failed to safeguard the dignity of its Black guests, members and the Black creative community. This is particularly unfortunate given that this year's cohort boasts some incredible Black talent, especially one of my favourite shows of 2025 "Just Act Normal". However, when an organisation like BAFTA, with its own long history of systemic racism, refuses to acknowledge the harm inflicted on both the Black and disabled communities and offer an appropriate apology, remaining involved would be tantamount to condoning its behaviour. I hope BAFTA leadership comprehend the damage they and the BBC have caused and take the necessary steps to ensure their production staff are inclusive enough to prevent such an issue in the future. Yours sincerely, Jonte Richardson
