Started watching "The Eternaut" last night. It's pretty great, so far... Argentinian apocalyptic sci-fi. Sort of like a cross between "A Quiet Place" and "Night of the Comet"... maybe with some "Earth Abides" thrown in.

‘That’s my team, man’: Mike Epps brings diehard Indiana #Pacers fandom to #NBAFinals. Comedian/actor and Indianapolis native has rooted for the team since childhood. bit.ly/3Fw1uQA #nba

Also worth reminding folks that just like an electoral map a lot of the uncovered land there is just not populated.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Not sure how the World Cup can still happen here a year from now. Which foreign fans are going to fly to the US with the risk of being Gitmoed once they get here??

Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ is now the top-grossing original live-action film at the domestic box office in the last 15 years.

Every 6 months we get this take even tho the government is run by far right, the largest US sites are owned by the far right, and there's a shitton of spaces that are full of far right people. Straight up, those folks hate talking to each other. They have it everything and they're miserable.

There are now more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than in Iraq & Syria. There are 4,800 activated Guard and Marine personnel in LA, compared to the 2,500 troops in Iraq and 1,500 in Syria.--ABC News

This WSJ story about the decline in search traffic because of AI summaries is so grim. Every single outlet spent 15+ years contorting their coverage to cover the same things as everyone else trying to grab SEO, only for Google to rugpull them, just like social networks did. tinyurl.com/bdpzc399

The speed with which the country is disassembling! I keep wondering how the regime thinks the US will function without Black and brown people, in a white fantasia. The people left won’t be able to feed themselves, heal themselves, build their homes, or flavor their food. What a choice!

On June 12th, 2020, I recorded an episode of Dart Against Humanity dedicated to her. Now, Combat & Dallas are also among that ever growing army of angels: open.spotify.com/episode/7suB...

It’s been 5 years since Jas Waters AKA Jas Fly passed away. I knew her from the blogging and on camera Black music media space. Especially from her association with the Combat Jack Show as one of its spinoffs, Reality Check with NY Delight. Her and Karlie Hustle oft discussed me. Here’s the thing…

The President Of The United States Of America called one of its major and most populated cities a “trash heap”… He said it to soldiers. Soldiers who are American citizens tasked with protecting the entire nation—which includes Los Angeles, CA—a city some of the assembled soldiers might BE from.

Kelsey Plum is straight up not having a good time…

Look how many of these are from categorically blue states

Seeing Lynch on this list

Notice how our country always has enough money to oppress & terrorize people, but it never has enough to feed, house, & give people healthcare… 🫠🙃

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

Wherever I see "MA", I take note.

I'll NEVER forget seeing her on MuchMusic's Electric Circus when it was added to our CableVision package. She gave this heartfelt speech to the crowd then did a version in French right afterwards. It blew my mind how poised & together she was at such a young age. May she rest in eternal peace.

People aren’t afraid of cities. They go to cities all the time for concerts, to go shopping, to go to the fancy restaurant. When people say they are afraid of cities what they mean is they are afraid of groups of Black people.

The wait is over Waiting For Britney Spears is out today us.macmillan.com/books/978037...

They're cutting Medicaid to pay for soldiers to terrorize an American city.

MULTIPASS!

We need anyone with a public platform to have the guts to call them the ICE Riots.

We can’t afford healthcare because we need that money to shoot rubber bullets into the stomachs of people who don’t want their neighbors to get kidnapped.

“Shipping Up To Boston” by Dropkick Murphys… I’d like to drop kick it over the goalpost of “We Need A Different Song Now”

Gov. Gavin Newsom calls President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in LA "an illegal act" in an interview with NPR.

“I am no better / And neither are You We are the same / Whatever We Do You love me / You hate me / You know me / And Then / You can’t figure out The Bag I’m in/ I, I, I, / Am Everyday People “ -Sylvester Stewart, a.k.a Sly Stone - Everyday People. Rest In Power to the GOAT. 🌹

Red Sox lost in extra innings… AGAIN.

RFK. Jr erodes trust in vaccines - under his leadership: - Largest measles outbreak in 30yrs, 3 deaths - Largest pertussis outbreak - 2 deaths - A fake study led by a discredited crank to link vaccines to autism - Ending covid vaccine recs for children & pregnant people www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

CNN’s Jason Carroll was detained by authorities in Los Angeles:

When the story of troops sleeping on the floor in California after Trump sent them with no plan went viral… Musk’s Grok quickly sprang into action and told people the SF Chronicle pics were actually from Afghanistan in 2021. BBC Verify: Grok lied.

Kayla Thornton made a huge three to put the Valkyries up, 87-81, with 37.9 left. The Valkyries had been 4 for 31 from behind the arc before that.

Losing to the expansion team <<<<<<

I read this account of their exchange 5x…

Notice how while ICE arrests people without a warrant, invades homes without a warrant, & disappears people into death camps—NRA is silent. Know why? Because NRA was never about firearm protection—but about white supremacy protection. As long as ICE targets mostly Black & brown people, NRA is happy

Today 1 of the most innovative artists of 20th century pop(ular) music became an ancestor. Get into these films to get into Sly’s genius: 2025’s ‘Sly Lives’ & 2021’s ‘Summer of Soul.’ And Sly & the Family Stone’s performance in the 1970 documentary ‘Woodstock.’ And listen. 🎶 Long live Sly Stone.

Israeli military did not “intercept a ship.” The Israeli military did commit a violent act of piracy against a UK flagged vessel in Int’l waters as it fulfilled a legal right to reach Gaza & alleviate suffering, then abducted its crew & transported them by force to Israel under threat of execution.
