Eleven months… and he’s still not been laid to rest.

Finally caught a couple episodes of #SNLUK - I’m rooting for S2, they’ve started to hit their stride. More SNL Legacy cast members popping up please!

While it did not live up to my expectations (due to the heavy glossing over of a lot of issues that was played down via the family’s involvement) I Will say Colman Domingo did what he had to do and Jaafar Jackson resembles his uncle so well it was eerie at times to watch. #Michael

Finally! Amaze, amaze, amaze! #ProjectHailMary

It’s been eight months since former Zambian President Edgar Lungu died. No, he’s still not been laid to rest.

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

Trends predictions for this year's #GRAMMYs: A lot of women artists winning (I feel there's been stronger tracks by women during the eligibility period) but Bad Bunny's "DTMF" (album and track) might walk away with the big one(s)....

Happy New Year; it’s been seven months since former Zambian President Edgar Lungu died and he’s still not buried.

my top reads of 2025 (**- 2026 arcs)

It's Christmas Eve, which means it's been six months and a couple of days since former Zambian President Edgar Lungu died and no, he's still not been buried.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

To everyone on Bluesky finding out about Walliams and despairing at the fact that "I read those books to my kids" I just want to reassure them that it's OK. He didn't write them.
