Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
Happy 50th birthday to Jon Bernthal, Wayne Jenkins on “We Own This City.”
Two Wire actors appear in this scene. Darrell Britt-Gibson (O-Dog) who shot Bodie and Thaddeus Street (uncredited dealer) who sold Wallace dope.
“Hey, happy Wayne Jenkins Day, everybody.”
Sadly, Old Face Andre actor Alfonso Christian Lover passed away in 2024. There was not one single obituary, public notice or anything online about his passing. RIP. Here’s every scene he was in.

Cari Champion continues to address people online who are calling her a liar as she responds to Stephen A. Smith’s recent interview with Skip Bayless and says she repeatedly told Stephen A. Smith “thank you” for vouching for her, which helped her get hired on ESPN’s “First Take,” with Jemele Hill telling Cari Champion that people want her to kiss Stephen A. Smith’s ass.

To see a man ask his former adversary for permission to raise his child so that he can give him a better life is so profound and beautiful.
I love how Bey's body language when Colvin says he wasn't made for the corners. Wee-Bey breaks eye contact and pulls back. It cuts him deep, since he knows its true. To hear another in the game see it too, is hard, but Bey accepts it.
If only more kids in these circumstances were given this opportunity. Wee Beys humanity shines through in this scene.
Wee bey KNEW his son could end up like D'angelo, who was never cut out for the corners.
I love this scene, because Colvin is speaking to "Mr. Brice" as a man, as an equal, even though opposite sides of the law. Colvin came with respect and love, and Wee-Bey saw that shit.
I also loved when his bitch wife was getting snippy about it, and Wee-Bey put her in check. "Man come up in here saying my son can be any damn thing he pleases." "Yea anything but a soldier". "Well look at me up in here, why the fuck would anybody want to do this if they can be something else."
That, to me, was very touching and emotional because Bey being locked up for life, would obviously enjoy having a son to visit, etc, but he knew it was in his SON'S best interest to go with Colvin and have a better life.🎬🍿
Happy 73rd birthday to Robert Ray Wisdom- Maj. Howard “Bunny” Colvin on The Wire.

Wee Bey had been preparing his whole life to go to prison or get killed. There is no way he could of anticipated them running out of potato salad.
Detective: You wanna even dream about straight life for all these bodies, you gotta wake up talking about Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell.
Weebay: ”Nah”
That quick simple "nah" was the most loyal shit I ever heard.
He is eating the charges so nobody in his crew will get brought up on them later. He's going to prison for life anyway so it makes no difference.
The way the cop broke the seriousness asking about cole slaw was perfect. It's the exact contrast that makes this show great.
An extremely serious moment that shocks you, followed by a moment of every day life.
Reminding us this is a tragedy that happens everyday. People you'll never know die every day, and people just keep on going ordering cole slaw.
I love how much hes eating. He knows damn well he ain't getting out so hes making the most of it.
Bey was more upset about them being out of tater salad than him getting a life sentence.🎬🍿
