I use these almost every time I pick up nigiri, I just love them so much!

Just finished this underrated gem for the second time. Gabrielle Union gives an absolutely incredible, Emmy-nomination-worthy performance as the titular character. Raven Goodwin and Richard Roundtree are also fantastic, not to mention Regina King’s direction is outstanding. I especially loved all the quotes at the start of each episode!

As an entertainment writer, I appreciated the show’s exploration of Mary Jane’s career, but I was equally impressed by the complexity of her professional and personal struggles. In many ways, she reminds me of Mad Men’s Don Draper: brilliant and charismatic, but deeply lonely, self-destructive, and often responsible for much of her own unhappiness.

My hat also goes off to Mara Brock Akil, who was a game-changer for Black television through Girlfriends, The Game, and later Being Mary Jane. There are several things I would have changed about the ending, particularly the made-for-TV finale, but overall, I give the series an 80% on the ElMar Meter!

I’m aware Rumi is holding an electric guitar but my point is still the same lol. I think the songs would sound absolutely gorgeous in acoustic versions!

It's not very often I have to go look up the plot to a film I just watched by a big director because it didn't make sense but not because it was complicated but yep I did. It also turns out he was inspired by Ayn Rand which should have been a huge stop sign right there but nooo he pressed forward anyway. Hats off to the actors for delivering on such a convoluted mess of well everything. The thing is buried in there is a movie worth watching but in heavy need of better editing.

That hack has always stuck with me and it really helped when I was organizing my pajama bottom drawer today. Feel free to guess all the fandoms! 🤣

This was from a thread in r/ControversialOpinions about a post where OP had just finished Michael Jackson: The Verdict and was feeling conflicted about still listening to his music. The fact that this person believes that Britney is only NOW having issues is a whole new level of sensory and oblivion.

I got the cup from DoItWithAlisha on Etsy in case anybody is looking. I already had the teddy bear straw topper and the color scheme/pattern always makes me think of Jinu’s “Soda Pop” outfit!

I had no idea I got this picture until after I left, I suppose it was my lucky day!! 😂😂

Snark aside it actually is a cute shirt, just not at the price! I also don’t think it’s a good look to be wearing that nowadays, either.

I was so excited I laughed when I found them and bought 2 boxes! I was going to go back and buy a third but I plan on hitting up another Aldi next week and I took this as a sign if they restocked once they’ll have them again 🫶🏼.

His response really floored me and I had to say something. This was my comment to him:

“I understand separating the art from the artist but as somebody that has built a platform chronicling child exploitation I'm really appalled at how easily you brushed off and downplayed the allegations due to legalities. You had no tact or consideration when discussing it, which is very unfortunate.

The situation merits speculation. What about Katherine Jackson allowing Joe to go after their daughters? Or how after the Jordan Chandler settlement Michael told Diane Sawyer he would still allow children to sleep in his bed?
Did you know Neverland Ranch is totally isolated and 6.3 miles from the nearest town?

There is also the fact that Michael parentified his own children by making them his little buddies and was too selfish to take up a Vegas residency to provide for them.

I'd highly suggest listening to the Telephone Stories and Think Twice podcasts, they give great insight into EXACTLY the type of person Michael was, very eye-opening.

I'm sorry but Jafaar playing the role is 100% nepotism and I don't think it's up for debate. It's irrelevant if he gave a stellar performance because there's PLENTY of talented people that are diminished to just the title of "nepo baby" yet Jafaar has been getting a pass.”

Since in this video Josh (the content creator) goes after commenters he was bickering with in other posts, I really hope he doesn’t go after me in the next video but I don’t think I said anything overly insulting.
