Colman Domingo appeared on the 'Good Hang with Amy Poehler' program and talked about how he met his husband, Raúl, over 20 years ago
"It's a weird thing because I lived in San Francisco for 10 years, then moved to New York. I went back to San Francisco to do a show at Berkeley Rep. I was in Berkeley, California, crossing paths going into a Walgreens, when I saw the most beautiful person I think I've ever seen. Not just beautiful aesthetically, but energetically. We never speak.
Three days later, I was trying to buy a used computer on Craigslist. I couldn't stop thinking about him, so I thought about posting one of those Missed Connections ads.
I used to read them like crazy. I got to the second page, and the third one down — I remember exactly the placement — it said: "Saw you outside of Walgreens, Berkeley." He had posted it just an hour before I looked. So we were looking for each other. And then we met. I'm so uncool: we met three days later, had our first date, and I literally said, "I think I love you, and you're going to change my life." That's how uncool I am, though."
The best thing diaspora has done is popularizing mango lassi, garlic naan and butter chicken overseas. Like this stuff is actually so good I get why foreigners are obsessed cuz I'm ordering the same shit in restaurants everytime I go out.
the amount of backrooms art I'm seeing is incredible but specifically the art of the yellow office spaces being entered in different time periods by different cultures in those art styles is haunting in a different way, like these feel so REAL
thread of this art i find 🧵1/?
Did you know the TV show “To Catch a Predator” was cancelled because they kept catching law enforcement, teachers, preachers, local officials, and other people who were supposed to protect children?
The final straw? An Assistant District Attorney in Texas was courting who he thought was a 13-year-old boy. He didn’t show for the sting, so they sent law enforcement and the camera crew to his home. The police entered, and Louis Conradt shot himself, taking his own life.
Can’t make this shit up.
