I hope Mr Danny Glover is doing well. I hope he knows he’s loved. I remember meeting him during an internship when he brought his rambunctious grandson to an event I helped plan honoring the legacy of Paul Robeson (THE Renaissance Man). He was kind and gracious. 🙏🏾
Eddie wearing Thierry Mugler happened because I was pitching a science fiction movie to Eddie and I used a lot of Thierry Mugler photos of his clothes as part of the pitch. That movie didn't happen, but then Eddie hired me to direct Boomerang and said he wanted to wear Mugler in that fim. I loved it because it showed you could be a Black professional and not a cornball.
This young Black dad, 23-year-old Diamond Steen, was killed by an O’Reilly’s Auto Parts store manager in Kansas City in 2023. Carl Kemppainen, 39, followed him outside, falsely accused him of theft, and strangled him to death. Diamond left behind a six-month-old baby. 😔
Another life taken too soon. Rest in peace. 🕊️
On this day in 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first Black man to win Wimbledon singles title.
He was the first black man to win Wimbledon, the US Open and the Australian Open.
A student talks about Red Dead Redemption 2 in her graduation speech for the class of 2026, mentioning Arthur’s talk with the nun, where he admits he’s afraid and she tells him to take a gamble that love exists, and do a loving act.
A message that left a lasting impact on her.
This clip, from Larry David's new show "Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness" is one of his FUNNIEST ever.
Awesome to have Rob Reiner as George Washington in possibly one of his final on-screen performances.
Cameo by Kimmel is chef's kiss.
RIP, Rob Reiner.
The story is LIVE!!!

Author Tomi Adeyemi is distancing herself from Paramount’s upcoming adaptation of her novel ‘CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE’.
• She co-wrote the script with director Gina Prince-Bythewood.
• Posted a screenshot revealing that she blocked one of the film’s stars, Amandla Stenberg.
• She says “there is a reason I will not post anything about the adaptation of my work… I have not seen the film, and I will not watch it. It’s been painful holding this back from you all.”
