Today this Queer Afro-Puerto Rican boy from the Bronx, who decided in 1995 at 15yrs old that he wanted to become a filmmaker like his heroes Spike Lee & Steven Spielberg, became an @TelevisionAcad #Emmys nominated Director. I’m crying. 🥲 #PoseFX

Can someone please help me identify who makes this shirt? What store? Where? Google is telling me nothing!

Since 1984, the very first time I saw an animated semi-truck transform and roll out, Optimus Prime has been my favorite character in all of media. And as a little boy growing up in the Bronx, I truly believed he was going to liberate me. Lovingly voiced by Peter Cullen, Optimus wasn’t just my hero—he was a hero to millions around the world. 6 months ago, I attended TFCon and had the incredible privilege of meeting Peter. I got to tell him that his work inspired me. I’m so grateful I got that chance.
Rest peacefully, sir. You did good. ’Til all are one. #petercullen #transformers #optimusprime

Peter Cullen has sadly passed away at the age of 85.

He is the iconic voice of many characters, including Optimus Prime.

If Dolly taught me anything, it’s to never have these folks catch you lacking. She always looked her best, she controlled her image, and how she showed up in the world. Even until the very end, she let us know on her terms compared to any other outlet.

Dolly Parton was one of the first public figures fundraising and fighting for people living with HIV and AIDS in 80’s, when the government refused to. Always been a LGBTQ rights advocate as well.

Rest in peace Dolly.

REAL X-Men readers should rock with this ngl. Start off with the original team, wait for Ryan Coogler to flex Storm in Black Panther 3, and then put Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Bishop, Gambit in the second main MCU X-Men film

@cynfinite I live for these videos too! And my husband always laughs at me for watching them. Thx for making me feel not alone 🙂

UPDATE—First exclusive interview with the woman whose family dog was shot & killed by the LAPD.

"He’s my baby," nurse Marie Marseille said through tears.

"It doesn’t make any sense to me. I can’t make sense of anything."

Rest in Heaven sweet Jameson 🐾🌈 LAPD is a disgrace

Los Feliz is also being pronounced incorrectly, for what it’s worth. 💁🏽‍♂️

Jamie Lee Curtis and Mariska Hargitay argue over how to pronounce “Los Angeles.”

ICYMI: The New York Knicks are NBA Champions, as called by @LT__Murray and @McNuttMonica !

Thank you to all of the incredible fans for listening to @ESPNNewYork this season. Your home of the NBA Champions.

[NEW YORK KNICKS @nyknicks]

for the boroughs and Knicks fans around the world 🏆

[Steven Canals @StevenCanals]

In the 90s - aside from film & TV - I loved watching the Knicks with my pops. We even traveled with the team to see them play live. We were committed.
And we were crushed when they made it to the finals in 94 and 99 and lost both times.
BUT THIS WIN?! This is for NY, for Patrick Ewing and all the Knicks who never made it to the promised land, for 18 yr old Steven who wanted this moment so bad and didn't get it, and for Johnny Canals (a lifelong Knicks fan) who hasn't seen his team be crowned as champions since 1973! That they closed out the series in San Antonio makes it feel all the more sweeter. Go New York, Go New York, GO!!!

[NBA @NBA]

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆

New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
