Sly Lives on Hulu is awesome I did a whole Substack on Sly Stone, one of the most important musicians in the last half century.
Sinners fans can be proud. The film did amazingly well at the Oscars. Cinematography, Score, Screenplay, and ACTOR?!? Incredible night.

Only six Black men have won Best Actor. Michael B Jordan is the 6th. Wow.

No matter what happens from here, we can’t say Sinners wasn’t taken seriously by Oscar voters. It’s gotten several important awards.

It’s so beautiful to see Sinners win cinematography. It’s a visually gorgeous film. And to have that award go to a woman for the first time is beautiful.

I haven’t “evolved” on this. I was not talking about my feelings when I reported that Chalamet is a bigger star within Hollywood.

Timmy Chalalalamet has had one of the worst Oscar campaigns ever. He seems to have talked his way out of an Oscar. Not just with the ballet opera comment. He seems to have turned voters off of him personally.

Can’t wait to see Timmy Chalalalamet’s sad little face when MBJ wins Best Actor.

This is an Oscars where there’s some real suspense over Best Picture. One Battle has dominated most of the Oscar season but Sinners seems to have some late season momentum…

One Battle After Another is a film where a Black girl is a damsel in distress trapped by powerful white men and she rescues herself.

Sinners is like Black America’s movie. It’s our movie and its success is our success. And many of us see One Battle as the antagonist, the film that did BW dirty. So it’s an epic battle of the super pro-Black movie vs the movie that gave us Junglep@ssy. #Oscars

Posted a video on YouTube about Kanye's interview while wearing a Klan robe. I thought he was going to say he's joining them but he did not. But I think I understand why he wore it. YT @toureshow

I think I can explain why Kanye's in a KKK suit. I watched the interview so you don't have to.

If you want to do a long filibuster for the purpose of disturbing Senate business, wouldn't you do it during the day when the Senate is in session rather than at night when Senators aren't actually aren't doing business?

I'm making a video in CapCut. There's lots of overlays that have to align with specific moments. I want to add a clip but have the overlays stay with the clips that I originally put them with. How do you do that?

Not anymore.
Schumer on CBS on calls for him to go:
"Here’s what I say — I’m the best leader for the Senate. I am the best at winning Senate seats."

Trump had a temper tantrum. In public. Like a toddler who isn’t getting his way.

The right's obsession with Zelensky wearing a suit is bizarre. He doesn't wear a suit so he can signal his solidarity with his people. It's traditional for world leaders who are at war to not wear a suit. Churchill did it in WW2. If Zelensky wore a suit would Trump have not thrown a temper tantrum?
