I listened to this crazy song 3x before seeing what else Tonio Armani had to offer. He delivers on EVERY song and I have never heard of him before today. I love this "Genie" beat. open.spotify.com/track/083d2x... Body roll and two-step energy.

The amount of times I played Koffee Brown's "After the Party" was absolutely out of hand. youtu.be/uebWWUAkW58?... 1-minute mark #blackskyover40 #blacksky

How do you not do a shoulder shimmy as soon as Ceelo starts rapping at 2:55. youtu.be/ho-nB-XdI64?... I'm about three seconds from a Harlem Shake. Motorola phones turn on the flashlight if you shake your phone downward 2x. My 🔦 came on. 😂 #blacksky #CadillacChronicles

Bless your Christmas a lil more #blueskyover40 and blast Digable Planets on Cadillac Chronicles. youtu.be/5gfWGZUOS3k?... I already mentally changed my Christmas shirt into a Karl Kani shirt once the beat dropped. #blacksky

Eh y'all, I am not here to judge your church service 2day for Christmas. All I'm saying is stay away from men who look like the skinny one in all black w/ the belt buckle. He will justify you singing Tonio Armani's "Help Me Find My Drawls" at church, NVM a lounge! youtu.be/-E29FRppQ7w?... #blacksky

I know the point of this post is "A Charlie Brown Christmas," but I'm hung up on one man playing the voice of Rerun Van Pelt and Peppermint Patty. 💡 people.com/why-a-charli... Also, for as long as I recall, I have purposely had a pitiful tree in my home as an homage to Charlie Brown. #merrychristmas

#MerryChristmas #MerryXmas🎄🎁❄️⛄🤶🏾🦌

This IMVU commercial is not only stereotypical and dumb, but it's also cringeworthy. I mute the TV every single time I see it, and it's weird how much it plays while I binge-watch #ThisIsUs. I am not this virtual world's target audience. At all.

My boss bought holiday cookies for the shop and I asked for the tin once it was empty, lol. Brought it home 2 weeks ago. Carrying on the tradition - reduce, reuse, recycle

39:15-minute mark: 😅🤣😂 Karlous saying a "strong Black woman" is one who puts grease on the back of her hand to do her hair w/o oil falling off has me cracking up ... and I feel seen. #blacksky www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNCw... This is better than the 1st talk when he stormed off b/c of the animals.

26-minute mark: OK, I was cracking up when Santa said he was in a frat. Marco would find a Sigma Santa, but I gotta defend 'em. I have NEVER NOT EVER been to a party with Greeks where they were the reason a fight broke out. youtu.be/oNCwhI4pKno?... It was always football players doing the most.

Although this is depressing, I respect that Rep. Jasmine Crockett is being honest about ACA health credits, immigration, government shutdown, etc. www.youtube.com/live/a2WQm8A... I cannot wait to vote in the midterms. Definitely ready for Dick Durbin to retire.

I tried it 1x in college, was told I was doing it wrong, shown the correct way and my stomach hurt for the rest of the day. You have to really hate your body to make this a habit. 🙅🏾‍♀️👎🏾

This is softening the ground to banning local bans on indoor smoking, which would be in keeping with the right’s push to end vaccine mandates. America is choosing sickness and death.

Merry Christmas Eve from me and Junee (who refused to pose) 🎄🎁 #dogsky

I joined TesterUp v2.testerup.com?r=37833553 to get paid for playing two games I already love (Crossword Master & Easy Words). I have also not lost a game of Spades yet, but I already knew I was a solid Spades player. TesterUp can ask me to do these kind of surveys all day too. Love em! #politicssky

I had no interest in the Vanity Fair photos of the Trump Cabinet, but Josh Johnson's comedy video made me curious. They are as terrible as he described. That lip liner and weirdly pink lips bother me most. www.digitalcameraworld.com/photography/... Line your lipstick correctly if you're wearing it!

Umm Nicole he's not dead. You can still date the image of him from 15 years ago because wth are you crying?? #readytolove

Oh Nicole...sweetie...we have got to find some self esteem. Beautiful girl but she doesn't know it and is begging to be chosen. #readytolove

Poor Nicole. Keep your head up. You will find your guy. #ReadyToLove

If you're going to cut off 80% of your jeans legs, just make 'em shorts. This looks confusing. #ReadytoLove It's wilder to see the other three women with a buttoned-up sweater, a comfy winter shawl, and a neck-to-ankle dress. WHAT IS THE WEATHER?! This even looks crazy in the restaurant.

All this fur, including this fox shawl with the head on it, is ... ugh, just ugh. My inner PETA comes out every single time I see somebody wearing fur. It always looks tacky. Every. Single. Time. Plus faux fur is such an easy option to access. #ReadytoLove

My reaction 90% of the time 'cause it DEFINITELY gives them the disclaimer they needed.

How are you a girl's girl, kick off the convo with "Are you high maintenance?" and immediately start talking about his salary. "That's my dawg" is NOT THAT SERIOUS either. This convo was more cringe than the weirdly fitting purple dress. #ReadytoLove Does your ex KNOW she's your ex?

NEWS: After I called on the FTC to investigate, Instacart is ending its practice of charging some customers more for the same product. Americans shouldn’t be forced to pay more for groceries because of dynamic pricing.

I know nothing about this man and have never seen Kenyon Martin Sr. outside of this interview. But I am 💯 saluting him for that Costco incident. All that over a parking space. 😮 Yeah, you deserve what you get after that. 🥊 🥊 youtu.be/C7oZ-AnBthU?...

Interesting 🤔

In an interview with WBEZ radio, Anthony Vazquez talks about what it was like when he was in the middle of a tense standoff between federal agents and residents on the Southeast Side.

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Nicki Trinidad Minaj is an opportunist grifter. Most people who listened to her music and supported are of marginalized groups. The people at TP USA, Fox, maga, and Heritage Foundation don’t support her or her music. They just see a clown who is doing their biddings, like Kanye. Leopard eats face.

Charlie Kirk's widow consoles Nicki Minaj after gaffe www.reuters.com/world/us/cha... I have never heard any rapper EVER refer to someone as an "assassin" as a compliment. I did not think anyone could make her look worse than "Shether." Even Remy Ma didn't make her look this bad. 😬🤦‍♀️ #blacksky

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate seeing these videos and photos of these grown ass man with their heads ducked down like this. I would've just turned my head when this scene happened but still watched. This CECOT news makes me grind my teeth every time.

Man accused of illegally towing ICE vehicle during raid found not guilty abc7.com/post/man-acc... 👏🙌

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

While this ⬇️ didn’t prove meaningful, the #EpsteinFiles could be the first time we really see what AI tools can do from an investigative perspective. The fact that I can just ask chatgpt what Donald Trump was doing on a particular day is going to prove valuable

If every store and business is still open, I don't see the point of making Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas federal holidays. 🤔🤷‍♀️ www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

When I see marijuana arrests and felony records from weed result in expunging and prison releases, cool. Nonviolent arrests only result in creating violent criminals. Weed should have never been Schedule I to begin with.

This is some WILD SHIT to say about anybody. Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) needs to be removed from Congress, not Rep. Ilhan Omar. "Release the hostages. Until then, starve away" Fine said about Palestinians. www.axios.com/2025/12/18/i... As if the people holding hostages are the same ppl starving. 🤬

I didn't know any of this drama happened. I scratched my head, wondering how I slept through all this. Then I got to the part about the re-opening in 1984. Now it makes sense. I was three when the Apollo reopened. All this stuff was before me. 🤔 💡 youtu.be/InTJ0rxGfHc?...
