I finally watched Wonder Man and I enjoyed it. I need to catch up on the MC University pods on it now.

Dawn said she will beat Geno’s ass. IKTR!!! But it’s the person yelling “It’s dementia!” For meeee 😩😭

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

That last repost... honestly, when I have a Harold's craving, I go to a little Chinese food place for wings and mambo sauce. BUT the mambo sauce at this place tastes just like Chicago mild sauce. It's perfect. Those sauces are cousins but this spot is dead-on for mild sauce.

I miss east coast Chinese food. What I wouldn't give for a 4 pc chicken wing & fried rice box with an egg roll.

The Black Power Scorecard paperback releases April 15 — and I couldn't be more excited. 📖 Since the hardcover dropped last year, I've learned a great deal about what power is and what it isn't. Eager to share that with you. Pre-order your copy today! bookshop.org/p/books/blac...

My 40th was in the middle of pre-vaxx covid, when everything only allowed 25% occupancy. I went out for dinner and drinks with my friends. It was as fun as we could make it.

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

Holy Week intensifies my sadness over Xianity being used for violence & pain bc my faith is based on trying to follow Jesus as revealed in Scripture: how he welcomed strangers, entertained interruptions, led w/compassion instead of violence, offered himself as a sacrifice instead of vying for power,

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

Pope Leo XIV rejected claims that God justifies war and prayed especially for Christians in the Middle East during a Palm Sunday Mass before tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square. n.pr/4bVFD10

The Strathmore Music Center has the best concert acoustics I've ever heard. Aside from the fact that Meshell's voice can transport you anywhere, the sound quality made her and the band sound truly transcendent. The videos don't do it justice.

Just sitting here thinking about how Black ppl came up with jazz, the blues, rock and roll and hip hop WHILE this country was doing everything it could to ensure we had nothing. Nobody needs Al to create except the untalented.

Depends on the condition of his Jupiter

Steampunk party, straight ahead

What is happening here? 😂

Climbed some small hills to get to my favorite cherry blossom spot and I am exhausted. I didn't intend to take the most strenuous path up to them, but it was a good walk though.

Why going to an HBCU might be better for Black students’ health A study found correlation between the environment and long-term wellness in sample of 1,978 who attended college between 1940-80 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I had no idea about this aspect of Hughes' life and work.

Neither Black studies nor Africana studies can be "destroyed" or dismantled by fascists. African people *created* study, were literally the first people to ever do it. Still doing it, after all these millennia. Will do it till the wheels fall off.

Jokes aside: Meteors hit the earth every single day. Most of them are too small to make noise or hit over un-occupied places. This is really not that special

related: the folks who study sheriffs and jails in the United States have some sharp insight into ICE that can be lacking among those who study immigration or authoritarianism. ICE are not secret police; they are as law and order as apple pie, as American as the terror alert rainbow

Hmph... I found parallel timelines without magic or time travel to be boring. And I actually don't think it held up. The Russian angle felt weird and out of place.

There's not a world that exists where 92% of Black women are wrong. Any topic, any subject, any election, whatever...

Now that I am over 40, I cackle at the weird things people believe about that age. On a different note, I also understand why older people view the 40s as young.

This is the real reason we'll invent time travel.

*sigh* Saturn-Neptune = institutions dissolving

ALL RISE FOR THE CHICAGO NATIONAL ANTHEM

Someone on Threads called Jack Harlow IRS-ONE and I think that’s enough internet for me today

It wasn't a film, but Lovecraft Country asked the same question every episode. What's worse: racism or real monsters? The Black culture references in every episode were amazing. If anybody loved Sinners and hasn't seen Lovecraft, you might consider watching it.

Yes! And with more info on what the Native Americans knew about the vampires and why they were so prepared. That was so compelling to me and I wanted to know their story too.

Honestly, Sinners doesn't need a sequel. But a prequel would be amazing. There are some things I wish the film had explored that it did not and prequel would shed light on them. But I've gotten the sense from Cooglers interviews that this is one & done.

Zinzi Coogler worked with deaf advocacy non-profits in the Bay Area before transitioning into film production. The BASL (Black American Sign Language) version of Sinners released on HBO Max in July 2025, marked the first time a streaming platform has exclusively offered a film in this dialect.

We even got a visual tribute to Sister Rosetta Thorpe with that guitar.

We been doing this America thing for 250 years, and there's still way too many "firsts" for women and Black people. I dont wanna hear about DEI ever again

Michael B. Jordan is now the sixth Black actor to win Best Actor at the Oscars. Joining Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker and Will Smith.

When I saw it in the theater, the 1st thing that I noticed about Sinners was how it was shot. And I'm not talking about the music scene, but the first half of the movie where we meet the characters and learn who they are. Just visually stunning. I'm not surprised it won the Oscar for cinematography.

Came out of retirement and recovery from hip surgery!

I’m watching this on repeat. #OscarsonBlacksky
