What a weekend!

Za was incredible at her show! Her godmom and my bestie of 22 years drove up to see it, and I’m feeling so much joy tonight, ahead of what will be a busy busy week!

My windshield having this big ass crack is a metaphor for life. Started off with one small little nick I ignored. Then there was another about 5 inches from it. Now it’s a big ole crack connected by the two original nicks, and I HAVE to disrupt everything and handle it today.

Anytime it gets within 30 days of my bday I start getting so reflective. It doesn’t help that it’s so close to the end of the year.

This year has tested me in every single way possible. Like stretched me like a kid with a mozzarella stick. But I’m still standing *cue Elton John*

Ok, I’m finally ready to admit Haitians make the best rice. Not that black rice stuff folks often talk aboutβ€”that one’s still nasty to me. But Haitian rice and beans? Wooo.

Hands down best rice in the universe.

All the men in Boston are 5’6 or less. It’s like where all the short kings migrate to.

And I hate that for me.

Catching up on all the TV.

Finished All Her Faultβ€”it wasn’t as good as the hype. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ

Started the 4th season of Bel-airβ€”The Geoffrey story line is irking my soul but I genuinely love the vibe of it.

Also started the Beast in Meβ€”Claire Danes does forlorn white woman so well!

Idkβ€”I don’t care how much money you have. There has got to be a point where a price point starts a large scale revolt.

No matter what price someone puts up about an apt in Boston or NY, there’s gonna be someone explaining how $5000 for a 2 bedroom less than 1000 sq ft apartment is a steal.

I genuinely wonder at what point will people collectively like wholesale say enough is enough?!!

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections β€” 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Adding Sasha Kaeble, Elmiene, and Sabrina Claudio to this list.

Music is such a big part of everything that makes life beautiful and feeling easier when it’s hard, so the fact I been discovering and digging deep this year makes sense.

I never take enough pics when I go out. I really need to change that. I just have this selfie in the car and 1 singular photo with one of my friends. 😞

Man, one of my favorite episodes EVER.

His D'Angelo cover. Wow.

One of my favorite things to do is to binge episodes of The Terrell Show on YouTube. Long car drives, cooking, or doing my hair. Tonight's binge was so delightful.

Halle is a doll. Summer Walker is so hilariously unhinged, and Elmiene is the sweetest soul with a near butter voice.

Trump not having an actual moral compass and blowing wherever the wind goes can be beneficial sometimes. I'll say that much.

The moments the Venn Diagrams overlap have been lowkey delicious. LOL

My most controversial take on this whole meeting, though, is who knew you'd have Trump embrace Mamdani before establishment Democrats.

They should be ashamed!

I swear, after the week I've hadβ€”Trump with the Oval Office version of giggling and kicking your feet up next to Mamdani was the lil afternoon cackle I needed.

Cheers to the weekend.

Bernie on Trevor Noah is such a good listen. I must say, he really sounds as strong as ever.

My favorite quote that really made me think is when he said democracy is seen as an impediment to these billionaires’ God given right to make as much money as they want.

Best summary of modern politics.

I love that private equity's ills are getting more smoke and attention, but as a comms person, the thing I hate about it is that it is faceless. It is a faceless, hard to touch and feel villain.

There are people behind these firms who own and make money from them. I'd love to vilify them.
