lol curious if the simple announcement of a Taylor Swift tour in certain cities leads to different economic priorities in the short run.

lol very curious to explore the numbers behind how Cowboy Carter drove sales for small business owners.

lol i want to know whether Olandria's simply holding up a book or endorsing something shifts the market.

lol if racism wasn't a thing, I'd be studying the economics of pop culture.

Also, Boston being my largest East Coast book stop (I mean completely sold out with chairs needed to be added) changed my brain chemistry.

I didn't know the city liked ME that much so here's me finally liking it back lol

lol I also think finding a reliable braider here who isn't trying to rob me in broad daylight has made a difference.

I think that is truly when I was like, I think I'm planting roots here.

lol i have been surprised to discover just how many Black women are in leadership in Boston. It's A LOT.

Waaaay more than you'd think.

lol I think the city is quaint and I like the christmas lights year round sue me

lol the critical turning point has been finally engaging with Black Boston and realizing omg I've been missing out.

lol he was so upset, he thought something glitched lmao

lol everyone asleep? Okay, I have a confession: I'm starting to like Boston.

lol it's not my fault you aren't good at something, take it up with your mama

lol I once beat this guy in Madden and he refused to play me again. Don't hate the player, hate the game or lack thereof.

Every Ghanaian I know fell on their knees when the FIFA group was announced:

I would readjust my body in my bed AT HOME.

Haven't read this piece, but the death of movie theaters would be so rough. We NEED third spaces.

Girl where you lookin? I'll DM you because it's a needle in haystack

lol I kid you not, next week the CHEAPEST hotel room in Manhattan is ~$400 A NIGHT. If you want anything cheaper, you're sleeping in a pod.

(Not kidding)

I got to give THE OLANDRIA CARTHEN a copy of #TheDoubleTax.

Seeing all Olandria has gone through and how she continues to prevail. I am so glad that a book that I wrote, focused on how Black women are the benchmark for progress, is in her hands. #loveislandusa #nicolandria #blacksky

I'm not going to lie to you, AI can help with coding and grammar editing (it's in grammarly now), but like...at what cost?

Entire neighborhoods being wiped out? A lack of critical thinking? Like what is all of this for?

The proliferation in AI generated art is so those with the means don't have to compensate those with actual talent.

It's lazy and it's also greedy.

lol as far as I can tell AI is doing exactly what I would expect, being complementary to the highly educated and potentially disrupting the lives of those with less or no education.

Guess which group makes up the majority?

lol call me crazy but i don't think we should be hyping something up just because a bunch of rich people said its cool.

Like maybe it's cool for them but like... is it cool for everyone else?

lol idk maybe it's the fact Black women warned everyone about the dangers unregulated AI poses and folks were like "y'all crazy."

Like AI is not the messiah. It's man made thing that is scaling human behavior, flaws and all. It getting all this hype is weird.

lol I've spoken at/been to a couple conferences and everyone just flatters the hell out of AI but there is never any interrogation

lol you'll be in a conversation about trees and somehow AI will enter the conversation. I don't understand lol

lol I've been thinking about this for months, how people are hyping up something they barely understand and its weird

lol hey so everyone jumping on the AI bandwagon is kind of weird

lol anyway buy my book or don't honestly I wrote it because I think it needed to exist; the money making part is so people don't yell at me lol
