Just discovered her from LOLI. How’d you discover her?
I absolutely loved Parvati’s book! it was so raw and real!

idk what possessed me to tell her that my dream is to write a book, but she’s the coolest and radiates even more in person somehow

Operation Midway Blitz, which I do not support, could be a great service to our country if Donald Trump, who I do not support, uses it to capture shitlibs like David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett.

Hey #hiphopheads, has anyone heard of a more nasty verse than Eminem’s Lord Above verse?

Really getting into Lock It Up, Eminem song (ft. Anderson.Paak) off MTBMB. Thought it was mid at first, and now I think it’s dope. And I’m a fan of Em and MC, & I know she wasn’t with A.P in 2020, but it’s still wild given the relationship between how he & her previous partner treated each other.

Why are they needing to do this?
Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.

I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.
Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK
Bluesky users in the UK can verify their age using their face, ID, or payment card.

Wow. Just learned this. I am a new Mariah fan. Can’t decide whether this is lame or legit?
Mariah Carey once sued one of her exes for “wasting her time” and won.

I think about this a lot.

Something I’ve realized recently about Drake sending C&D letters and suing to stop release of diss tracks - in 2004 and 2009, Em took it like a man. Could you imagine him sending C/Ds to Def Jam over Clown, Obsessed, and UOMF?!

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.

She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Yeah, idk what everyone’s deal is. You and @monicalewinsky.bsky.social seem like two awesome people.
A first look at "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," the Hulu show I'm executive producing alongside the resilient and insightful @MonicaLewinsky and our brilliant showrunner, KJ Steinberg. I'm also so lucky to have the amazingly talented Grace Van Patten playing me. August 20th!

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

New York Times: Chinese women have small fingers

Just mentioned this to Kid3 and she demonstrated that one of her fingers at least is not small

Seriously, though? This is like 19th century shit
like I dunno maybe if you are going to state something weird and racial about half the population of a country of 1.4 billion people you should have… a (?) source ? ??
