I’m not even saying this to be funny or snarky, but there is something inherently sinister about constantly letting J.Lo’s non musical abilities be used to tribute Black women. It feels like intentional mockery.
According to some insiders, Jennifer Lopez is set to sing a live medley of Tina Turner's biggest hits as a tribute to the late singer at this year's

MTV will give Tina a special award to acknowledge her impact and legacy.
The fact that MTV/VH1/BET doesn’t have every single piece of original content created between 1990 - 2010 IMMEDIATELY and EASILY ready to stream is such a missed bag. Like deadass what is y’all DOING.
That Meghann Cuniff lady was absolutely excellent in how she laid out the trial and the proceedings using social media. Not only should this be a case study, this should also be a note to OTHER OUTLETS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER.
Every episode of TRL should be at my fingertips. Full stop. Every episode of 106&Park should be ready to view. Pop Up Video? Making the Band/Video? Behind the Music? Get it TOGETHER.
There’s an elder millennial market here! The way I would watch nothing BUT MTV Classic if that was a thing? Hell, I only got P+ to binge Daria like who is doing the audience research? Are y’all listening on social? Hire me, hell.
Gizelle is very intentionally exploiting language and what words mean, and that’s the truly fucked up thing about this. She keeps implying that a tangible action took place, and refuses to change her language to reflect that truth. She knows what she’s doing.

BTW I was made aware awhile ago that this might have been a troll tweet, which thank god.
But my point stands cause why she do that Motown tribute and that Teena Marie shit?
So I learned from another friend that knows Heidi/people are now coming out that Jared was soliciting nudes from minors while Holly divorced her husband and relocated herself to be closer to Jared. Whew!

, where you at, beloved?!?!
It's really jarring to see Lil Nas X really bask and illuminate in his queerness and identity while giving the middle finger to Christianity concurrent to Donnie McClurkin running from it and choosing to be alone because of it.
No, what's interesting is that

ain't the first or last bitches to critique on a podcast, and SOMEHOW, they're the only bitches to receive flack, especially when Violet straight called all y'all hoes ugly at least 3 times in a 20 minute timespan.

You could just save time and say you hate people of color and go. This argument not only doesn't make sense, but it also sounds like feelings you've had for a strong minute.
this might be a weird/nebulous prompt, but what is the most emotionally violent dialogue scene in film or TV that you can think of? whatever that means to you
"Welcome to Popeye's, how I can help you?"
"Yes, can I get a 3-piece, white and spicy, with a cajun rice and a Dr. Pepper?"
"Anything else?"
"Yes, can I also cast my vote for John Lewis as the 5th District Representative for the City of Atlanta?"
A long time ago,

compared our little microcosm of Twitter to this shitty apartment complex that we hate that we live in, but we make it work. I know that may sound weird, but a lot of us go WAY back and truly KNOW each other, so losses like this RESONATE.
With all the great black talent out here that have been clearly inspired by Motown and adjacent, it's REALLY insulting to see Jennifer Lopez up here squawking great music with unnecessary choreography.
I remember when Allison Williams was doing press for Get Out, and she went on Seth Meyers' show, and said so many fans approached her and asked if her character was also brainwashed or whatever. She had to remind folks that white women can also be terrible BY CHOICE. Just saying.
You know what's truly beautiful and crazy to me? The love and such people have for him that are responding to this tweet. It's insane how many lives he touched, and it shows.
I will die on the hill that they should have maintained this sound/aesthetic as a duo much longer instead of Chloe jumping out of the damn window. But I’m a hater.
I know we’re all tired of being on Zoom, but some important Zoom etiquette reminders:
- everyone wants to see your cat
- don’t just say “my cat is here,” hold your cat up to the camera so we can see it
- when your cat is on camera, either say “cat” or type “cat” in the chat
