#GVerse via @captmarkkelly.bsky.social "Tonight, we learned the Pentagon is escalating its review of me into "an official command investigation." If #Shit4Brains or #WhiskyLeaks think they can stop me from doing my job and serving the American people, they've got the wrong guy."

My team got left off the big potluck invite. Some are sad but I am thrilled by this. I saw someone mixing up potato salad that was pale green. 😳🤣

Niecy’s face is sending me 😭😭😭😭

Target so fucked up right now, I need folks to be prepared for them to be practically giving shit away for Black Friday. DO NOT take the bait.

Black and Brown people. PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of us all do not allow yourself to be interviewed if SNAP benefits don't come on November 1. Make the white folks do the interviews. They love getting Black folks to do these interviews so that people think we are the only ones hurt.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

The Pod bros always find a way to have the worst positions. Why wouldn’t he press him on this very clearly racist position? And yet we’re told to overlook the tattoo. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

Graham Platner tells Tommy Vietor that while his response to many of his old Reddit posts was “oh god,” he stands behind his question about “why Black people don’t tip” because he was legitimately curious. And, of course he has a Black friend who is also a bartender. What. The. Fuck.

My 13 yr old who is 5’5 and wears a size 11 shoe: I need new shoes because all my shoes make my feet look really big. Me: so you think it’s the shoes? Kid: Yes! Look at these, they’re huge! Me: they are indeed. He’s gonna be super disappointed when we go shopping this weekend. 🤣

Kid 1 is a yearbook editor this year - for homecoming week he’s taking pix of folks dressed up for theme days. He said tomorrow is “wacky wear” 😳 “I’m just going to take photos of the teachers cuz I’m not sure what wacky wear means to students.” You know what son? Me neither.

Actual good news y’all!!!

My kids’ dance company had a pajama party. My daughter & her friends decide they want matching PJs. Me & their moms: we aren’t doing this. 2 days before they send us links - we dutifully purchased their matching pjs. 🤣 I love boujie black girl things. They are so spoiled & I love that for them.

Right? Where was this energy for Joy Reid?

My Dad is clearly autistic (undiagnosed because he’s 81 and high functioning) and I guarantee my gran wasn’t taking Tylenol in 1940s Barbados. Also I knew they were going to find a way to blame moms for autism.

Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary dread. I’d go put myself in timeout at that point.

Glorilla called this man “Young Bug” said he looked like a chewed up steak and the inside of a cyst. And then killed me fresh with the off key “Buuuuuurning Blueeeeeee” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 She just spits out ALL her intrusive thoughts dread.

I used to go to Target 2-3 times a month, I always “needed” something. I’ve found that HEB & Costco have everything I need. My husband, daughter & I all used to get 4-5 prs of glasses between us at Target optical annually. Not this year. I am NEVER going back.

My kid: when you’re done putting the laundry in can you come hang out with me on the couch? 5 mins later I sit on the couch. Kid: my friends texted me to come play at 3:30 so I have to get dressed now. 😑 At least she wanted to spend time with me?

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

My whole family was out of our home for 3 weeks recently & my electricity bill was still quite high over the time period. My power bills are easily $150-200 higher than 3 summers ago - the largest jump was ‘24-‘25. This is unsustainable. I am lucky to be able to absorb it but many cannot.

A cautionary tale for young women not a love story.

lol a literal horror movie. #blacksky

Love love love Regina King but she’s showing her age with that first answer. I do NOT want to interact with a human just to make a reservation.

This burn 🤣

Last night I heard my kids (11 & 13) talking after I’d told them it was bedtime twice. I was about to yell up the stairs when my daughter said “ok good night, I love you” and her brother responded “love you too” and I heard their doors shut. Y’all 😭 they’re so cute.

That habibi was like a gut punch 🤣

Reddit rabbit holes are wild. I started w/ weightloss, then GLP-1 subs (Wegovy, Zepbound etc) & landed in a sub where ppl are buying research grade drugs, reconstituting & injecting it. Some are clearly also injecting steroids & hormones & some cannot do math so that’s turning out fabulously. 😳

An update from us here at PBS 💙

Kadooment 2025 was amazing! My only disappointment was the fact that some really good Bajan tunes got no play on the road but all in all it was an amazing day. I had little kids asking to take photos with me - I felt like a princess!

Ordered my kadooment costume in March. I’ve only lost 10 lbs since then but my bubbies and boxy fall right way. This B cup I ordered is a pipe dream. Halp! 🤣

2 failed attempts to pick up my expedited passport today. I guess I’ll try again tomorrow.

I still remember the daycare director who said my son wd have to learn to deal w/ loud noises “he’s starting K in the Fall & school is loud”. I pulled him from daycare. I’ll also always remember that his new elementary principal simply said “it’s ok we can get him headphones & a quiet space”.

People need to learn to leave this lake alone.

A guy from a recent acquisition moved into the spot behind me at work. I said I’ll be out for 3 wks- 1 wk remote work, 2wks vacation. He said I have been noticing that y’all take long vacations here. I was like I get 5 wks & hardly ever rollover. Him: 😳 I’m not going to waste a benefit!

Neighborhood fireworks show starts at 8:45 pm tonight. My husband left home a short while ago and texted me that ppl have already put out lawn chairs. This is suburban Houston, running out of room is not a concern. So why does someone need to reserve a front row seat to explosives that go up?

Post somebody you've been told you look like, who you definitely don't look like:

First day of summer vacay, I get home from work & my husband is like we can’t be the house that all the kids come to eat at during the day. Me: why not? I kind of like being the kid house & we can better keep an eye out. Him: at lunch one kid asked for 15 chicken nuggets. Me: oh yeah no.

"The honor, I assure you, was Harvard's." - W.E.B. Du Bois Ending the week with some Black joy. ❤️ #blacksky #edusky

I am having a day. I lost my right AirPod and I still have hearing loss in my left ear due to lingering effects of an ear infection so my meetings this morning are … challenging to say the least lol.

Ok time to freak out y’all. WTF?!?!?!

Well that seals it. I completed my Easter basket shopping without setting foot in or ordering from Target. This means I’m never going back because I’ve realized that everything I ever shopped there for, I can easily get elsewhere or do without.

Why my daughter asked me to text her friend’s mom to see if she wants to come play & the little girl told her mom to ask who else is at our house. Did this child just “who all gon’ be there a play date?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just left a kids’ birthday party where the Dad’s new gf is a dead ringer for his ex-gf who is my good friend. Her ex husband also has a habit of dating women who cd be her sisters. Men are interesting creatures indeed.

No notes

The deep MAGA folks on my local-ish FB page are saying that this is needed to reset the economy quickly & the rebound will be swift & bountiful. The MAGA-lites are panicking but can’t see how they could have voted for Harris. 😐

Y’all this woman went to a protest yesterday and was upset that there wasn’t a bouncy castle to entertain her kid and also wished there was more singing vs chanting/shouting. Yep, she absolutely was.

“I don’t know that anyone could have seen this coming”

This is pretty cool
