I am not Catholic, so I can’t speak to the level of swagger previous pontiffs might have had, but I know that *this* Pope is from that same old place #SweetHomeChicago 😎

I have a couple of #Prince “shrines” discretely placed in my home 🤣 Have just added my new Around the World In A Day deluxe edition albums to the physical media area. Still waiting for the new Raspberry Beret t-shirt I ordered

Just got my Around the World In A Day 40th Anniversary deluxe edition! Also got it on streaming, but I like to get the vinyl record album & CD, too. Different sound, nostalgic experience, & you only *really* own media forever if you get a hard copy

I took a nap and woke up and this is how I find out MTG resigned. The strangers’ voices in this strange modern invention told me 😩🤣😂

Reminds me of this bit when Devo was on #Futurama. People were like, “Give us ‘Purple Rain 2: Electric Boogaloo’!” & #Prince was like, “No. Here’s Around The World In A Day, which is nothing like PR, but I demand the right to grow as an artist, & you can go & grow with me or not!” #Prince4Ever

What Lupita Nyong’o so beautifully expresses here is why I get excited about DWTS #Prince Night, etc: Even if it is not on a platform or with people I normally enjoy, or isn’t done exactly as I’d like, as long as done respectfully & in the spirit of his art, it helps keep him alive

Lord willing, I have tickets to see Squirrel Nut Zippers Christmas Caravan 2025 tour here in Chicago in December. While not as bad, generally, as January, Dec in the Chi can be a little iffy in terms of our weather & my health, so we’ll see. But I hope so because I absolutely freaking LOVE them ❤️🎶🙏🏾

Every concert I see now can’t make up for the fact that I never got to see #Prince live in concert. This is one of my few life regrets. So now I make a point of going to see everyone I really want to see (both loved ones I know irl & beloved entertainers) like #Beyonce 💃🏾

Last 5 concerts I saw. As for the next concerts? Going to see Squirrel Nut Zippers in Dec, the Purple Madness in Jan, & New Edition in Feb, I hope. 🙏🏾New Edition was also the very 1st concert I saw in the ‘80s! Of course, whenever #Beyonce tours again, I’m in! #BeyHive 💃🏾🎶🐝

I loved the song Thank Heaven For Little Girls & the movie Gigi growing up, as well as the source novella by Colette. I was a big fan of Leslie Caron (basically French Audrey Hepburn). Like so many things I remembered fondly from my youth, needless to say, this does not hold up, for obvious reasons

YES. I also loved her line delivery and reaction shots when she was telling Roseanne that Becky was going to get on birth control, especially when she’s saying the line something like “Isn’t it great, Roseanne?” Pure gold.

Reminds me of the #Futurama episode “Decision 3012,” a parody of the birther scandal, with a candidate for president of earth accused of not having been born on earth. one of the best jokes was the emphasis on the candidate’s (literal) “alien” middle name. i see 47’s “Hussein” callback with “Kwame”
