Forgot to show y’all my owl impression

Happy MLK Day!

Y’all hating but I think “nclecta” perfectly captures Cam Newton’s Gotham City First Baptist Deacon Board aesthetic.

A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

This political moment where conservative institutions are pushing nonwhite people out of public life and their jobs is providing A LOT of cover for the supposedly liberal institutions doing the exact same thing.

I promise to bring it back!

I’m not religious and I haven’t been to church in years, but whenever I’m going through it, my playlist gets real sanctified. I’ve listened to so much gospel this year, my Spotify wrapped is gonna call me a praying grandmother.

The cackle this set loose!!

There’s not a single program on television more entertaining than Lushious Massacr shopping at an outlet mall

Bought that expensive Law Roach salmon only for my cats to eat it before I got the chance

Tums antacid Chewy Bites

Best candy on the market

It’s pretty obvious that Bari Weiss thinks the news is just putting on that voice

My gut says that this will go down with the National Geographic “the mixed races person of the future” cover as a regrettable artifact of limited imaginations.

Hi! I’m Hilary Duff and you’re watching DisneyPrimeFlixMcAIChatbot!

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Favor ain’t fair

The Diddy doc has me reflecting on how many men we attribute artistic “genius” to when in reality they have only built a creative extraction process akin to sharecropping.

And if I said I wanted to play Saucy Santana in the biopic about his life, what then?

Now why does the barista look like he’s on the hockey team too?

That Sean Cody hockey show is delightful

My audition to play a bitchy baristx

Thank you!

This week’s main story is about Paramount’s decision to name Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, the future of U.S. journalism, and why we think she shouldn’t describe her endeavors as “punk.” Bari, look at us: You are not punk. Joe Strummer would’ve hated your fancy Substack, Bari!

Those AI pics and videos don’t make y’all spirits itch?

I’ve said it before, any judge who so comfortably and clearly shows their prejudice should immediately be barred from their jobs, but we don’t live in a world that makes sense.

We live in a world where white people get to deem racism as a simple inconvenience and be the sole arbiter of its weight.
