I completely missed this but I’m glad Jaylen Brown doesn’t have to be put into civil wars by his own fans and can feel appreciated.

Celtics fans spent all summer telling you this was a mediocre basketball player. Lmao

Jaylen Brown's response to Jayson Tatum's comment about them not having any beef:

"He got a great PR team. There's no beef but there might be a little lamb chops with some gravy."

and if you watch it without feeling sorry for anyone involved and are mystified by everybody’s willingness to be seduced then you might be Black

Ta-Nehisi Coates refuses to pretend that he doesn't understand the situation fully...unlike many of his peers. I appreciate that about him.

Yes...the bar is that low

Masking really does take courage, especially when you’re the only one doing it, but science says we’re doing the right thing.

4 lead performances

[bbl mccarthyism @hellciee]

Amanda contemplated her role in potentially causing distress to Elizabeth and came to the correct conclusion that 1) she’s an actress playing a part and 2) the dropout not being 100% accurate in the specific convos and actions doesn’t matter when the truth IS the Liz is a LIAR!

[Courtney Howard @Lulamaybelle]

This was my reaction

"Nigga I could've went to the Dream game"

[aaron folsom @VersaceCaesar]

The idea that Amanda Seyfried owes Holmes an apology for portraying her in a miniseries is asinine, especially coupled with the fact that Holmes has never once been sorry about her own actions (including driving a person to suicide!) and still believes her own bullshit

[Conor Browne @brownecfm]

The widespread acceptance of the idea that 'Covid is over' while people are still constantly getting Covid over and over again.

no quiero exagerar pero lo de este casting roza la brujería porque es que son las mismas personas con veinte años menos ?????

Such a wholesome moment between VJ Edgecombe and this fan 🥹❤️

I hope she’s thriving. She deserves this.

SNL UK doing a Nollywood version of Wicked with Cynthia Erivo is the funniest thing they’ve done sorry

@michael_hoerger Thank you for sharing this. My entire 30s have been the pandemic… the slow isolation is real 🫶🏽😷

[Mike Hoerger, PhD MSCR MBA @michael_hoerger]

I'm so impressed with CC people in their 20s and 30s. Developmentally, it's just a very difficult time in general, focused on "launching," so there is a lot of pressure surrounding relationships, education, and work.

Since pandemic onset, you have lived through immense threats, which much of society stopped acknowledging in 2022. That can create immense stigma, isolation, and alienation. You may be dealing with health issues or caregiving for family earlier than anticipated, or both.

These challenges are often much harder if money is especially tight, or you're a part of an underrepresented or minoritized group or groups. It's just difficult in so many way.

Anyway, you're the best. I see you. You're way ahead of your time. Keep fighting. 💪😷
