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

"If you felt offended" - NOT an apology

"If you were offended" - NOT an apology

"That's not how you should've taken it" - NOT an apology

"That's not what I meant" - NOT an apology

"Sorry you feel that way" - NOT an apology

"I am sorry." - IS an apology.

Jasmine Crockett Was In The Driver's Seat In Texas Senate Race. Then Colbert Happened. The Texas congresswoman is facing questions about her campaign strategy as her Democratic opponent James Talarico continues to gain momentum.

What if Talarico wins and his religious identity changes and he suddenly swings farther to the right? Then what? I'm sorry but I don't trust anyone who wears their religion like he does.

Watching this ANTM documentary and seeing Tyra dodge every semblance of accountability makes my blood hot! She needs her ass beat, world star style! This is worse than anything I had imagined.

Crushing the mRNA industry in the US also probably destroys a bunch of cures for various cancers just as an FYI.

Immigrant worker shortage has Texas crawfish season in a pinch Texas hasn't run out of crawfish, but we are experiencing a shortage of the workers who harvest them. Policy has led to fewer visas, more fear and half-full coolers.

I’m here waiting for confirmation that we’re done with frost so I can’t transplant my tomatoes. I got an early start this year.

A day ago the EPA officially rejected the science on global warming.

Beyond "oh, that happened" I won't read about it. I won't silently evaluate the coverage of it, as I often do. This item is going into the "too stupid, too important to be that stupid, and too painful" bucket. Do you ever do that?

White men built a system, white patriarchy, that they suck at because they lack skills, talent, and likability and now we all have to pay for it.
