It's not the holidays until I hear Mannheim Steamroller's rendition of "Carol of the Bells" in an Uber.

More thots on awards season films. ICYMI: I LOVED TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. thisisdiaspora.substack.com/p/thoughts-o...

Maybe the Oscars moving to YouTube will make the Academy step their pussies up and make the ceremony fresh and exciting for a very different and vast YouTube audience.

Rob Reiner was an amazing actor, producer, writer, and pop culture icon. He was also an ally and a REAL one. RIP to him and his wife Michele. 🙏🏾❤️

MORE THOTS ABOUT AWARDS SEASON MOVIES. thisisdiaspora.substack.com/p/thoughts-o...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER was a LAUGH RIOT!

FARTY SUPREME.

I trust and believe studio execs as much as I trust politicians. I don't.

It's like looking at 2 dads who live next door to each other and when one sees the other mowing their lawn, they say "Can you do mine next?" and they think it's uproariously funny every single time.

DIASPORA had its first fundraiser as we enter into our nonprofit era and I was WILDLY grateful and humbled by the support of every single person last night! I appreciate the overwhelming amount of support that was in that room last night. ❤️🥲🙏🏾 Please contribute to DIASPORA: gofund.me/46a1f…

I have thots on all these awards season movies.... so expect more of these collages. substack.com/home/post/p-...

LOTS OF STUFF HAPPENING IN LA THIS WEEK! GET INTO IT! thediasporatimes.com/2025/12/01/d...

Watched Lav Diaz's INCREDIBLE colonizer epic MAGELLAN and then JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH. What a double feature. The JURASSIC movie is so ignorant because it's just a movie about people making dumb ass decisions.

Every time I hear "For Good" I immediately think of this Hollywood Bowl moment with Kristin Chenoweth and Sarah Horn youtu.be/qxKjiJ2qwtU?...

Combat Thanksgiving nonsense in LA with Native American education and art! thediasporatimes.com/2025/11/24/d...

Love how Shiz University is actively recruiting and defying not only gravity, but anti-DEI sentiment! 💚🩷

WICKED: FOR GOOD struggles to maintain the energy and excitement of its predecessor. It attempts to defy gravity for a second time but ends up hovering modestly. But if you're a staunch completionist, this movie is for you. thisisdiaspora.substack.com/p/get-a-buck...

I saw this freelance writing job on LinkedIn and the day rate is $220. Which breaks down to $27.50/hour, $57,200/year. This is a job calling for experienced journalists and it's not clear the amount of work they will dump on you. Be skeptical. Settling for less makes you deprive yourself of more.

Sounds about white!!! Read USC Annenberg's full "Inequality in Popular Podcasts" study: assets.uscannenberg.org/docs/aii-ine...

How do you deal with your friends in LA who fulfill obnoxious Hollywood stereotypes every now and again? Do you tell them? Or do you just let them be because you know they won't change?

Please sing along if you know the words....and you know the words, you're old and cool like me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2fT...

Found this deleted scene from FRANKENSTEIN but it was on another site. It requires a membership but I was willing to pay.

I love it when hateful and disrespectful people are like, "WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME? I DON'T DESERVE THIS!" after they spew all their hate and nonsense.

If you make a video of yourself cooking with black latex gloves and post it on social media, it makes you look like you know what you're doing.

DO - DO YOU HAVE A FIRST AID KIT HANDY? thisisdiaspora.substack.com/p/im-not-ash...

Debra Messing puts the MESS in MESSing. ew.com/debra-messin...

MEDIA LITERACY: Get into it.

Everyone is in heat for Mamdani.

The footage of PADDINGTON THE MUSICAL looks so fun and cute... and I'd be lying if I said the live-action bear didn't freak me out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9EX...

Remember when STRUCTURE turned into EXPRESS MEN? That was a major moment in mall history.

It must be really serious if I made a whole video about how bad it was.... thisisdiaspora.substack.com/p/tldr-we-de...

In your humble opinion, what are the best alternatives to Spotify?

This dumbass family should have known better than to bring a chimp home and act like nothing bad is gonna happen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo87...

I have included D'Angelo in a new section of the flagship DIASPORA site called "Dossier" where we highlight a person, a moment in history, and/or a piece of art or media that has impacted culture! thediasporatimes.com/2025/10/15/l...

I know I can survive without social media. If I can quit drinking and quit smoking, I can quit social media. If anything, I need to make a lean social media diet. I need the paleo diet of social. But also, the best method that helped me quit smoking was quitting cold turkey. I'm considering it.

You know how they say name your emotions? I have named my inner saboteur Barbara and my anxiety Chloe.

I am manifesting me and Kelly Clarkson singing this at karaoke in the near future. youtu.be/dl18NCKZrmk?...

I was in chorale in high school and sometimes our student director would warm us up when our actual director was busy at the beginning of rehearsal. One time, during our warm up exercises, she said "Now, go down on 'mi'" and she was the only one who didn't realize what she just said out loud.
