I find a deep level of irony with Black comics who count Pryor as an influence, mentor, etc, but are a homophobic in their comedy. If you ever watch Pryor's roast or read his autobiography, he both jokes and talks directly about being involved with and having sex with transwomen. And not with shame or to explain it away. It just was.

I also remain confused that Dave has been stuck on this topic when nobody was trippin' on Dave before he decided he was Captain Comedian

His comedy has been LESS funny the last few years bc he's reaching for low hanging fruit, and he used to be a comic I trusted not to do that. The Chappelle I used to rock with, even pre-Chappelle show, was smarter than almost everything I've heard Dave do since 18.

For the people asking if society won't give R Kelly a second chance/chance to redeem himself: that chance was when he was acquitted in 2008.

His response was to start moving his conquests to a home in GA where the age of consent is 16.

He ESCALATED. For over 10 more years. ... and, and and... he STILL doesn't think he did anything wrong. He was quoted in court as saying geniuses should be able to do whatever they want because of what they give to the world.
The man IS a musical genius and a savant, but he is not remorseful. And he would not change.

I know that there isn't an active D9 sorority on every university campus at all times, HOWEVER, the white sorority rush week & life is one of the most homogenous cultures I've ever observed. I've never seen what BW could find there. It's also *just* college; we rock for life. Blackness isn't a monolith either, and the D9 may not be for everybody, but l when I meet Black Tri-Delts or Chi-Omegas, I'm just like "....Oh..."

If Kelly Price gets on video looking like she's ill or calls in somewhere with labored breath (bc everyone who says they have knowledge of what's going on with her say she's *still* recovering from COVID) them people just gonna start talking about THAT. Her sister's trying to drop an album. Tomorrow. That's all I need to know about the type time they on.
Her daughter says she's fine. Her lawyer says she's fine.
She just ain't wanna talk to THEM ni**as.

So Kelly Price's sister decided tomorrow is a good day to drop an album?

There's clearly ALOT happening in these family dynamics.

Cc: @keywilliamss_ I'd be hiding from these people, too

I'm concerned, cause she doesn't have the demeanor of someone who should have been on a small boat in the middle of any waters where she would stumble upon *multiple* orcas by herself. She's making me anxious and I'm at home. She definitely pushed his ass into the water when she stopped filming bc she ain't trying to get got. And said "omg omg omg" the whole time.

Man at the light next to my Uber is talking to his friend, on speaker phone, windows open, about his divorce settlement. All of Soho knows what his custody agreement is and that his ex originally offered him a better arrangement and he pushed and got hit for way worse.... I ain't never heard car Bluetooth this loud in all my days.

Conversation currently in my group chat: I can say with 98% certainty he's been told, directly, from women in his life that pure effort and initiation matter more than the end result. Image Another side of the effort being more important than the end result is gift giving. An old bf would either give me cash or just want me to tell him what to get and I hated that bc it was out of pure laziness, not because he doesn't have the capacity to be more thoughtful.

There are some I KNOW, but just refuse to pronounce correctly. Like I reverse the syllabic emphasis in "biopic" I think "by-OP-ic" sounds better than "bio-pic"

(I really think this is a budget vs fee conflation...) If you pay me a fee to perform a service, that value is subjective. I set it.
If you give me a BUDGET, that's based on how much things cost that I'm agreeing to buy/do/produce/execute for you

Went to TMobile bc I need to replace my phone. The rep helping me was CRAZY short and snappy at the mouth, and I had to breathe because I recognized she didn't know how rude she was being, and thought I was being rude by asking questions.. For example, she says "Let's go over to computer so I can pull up your account." We go. She asks some questions to a sr rep next to her, then says something to me about needing to check my insurance - needed to replace my phone ages ago bc the case came off, now I dropped it.

We all probably have friends or family who got with the wrong man, everybody was like "Girl, he gonna drag you down." They was like "I'ma stick beside him!!" Then once they started realizing they were in a fcked up situation they doubled and tripled down instead of leaving... ... That's homegirl.

THEY ARE SO FUCKING HOT I never thought to explore this but Clinton is dead on. Marching band uniforms directly oppose ease of movement or comfort. And they're a bitch to keep cleaned and fresh (bc you are sweating TO DEATH as he said)

Def Now I want this match to happen JUST so I can come on here and say "I TOLD Y'ALL," just like I did with Face and Teddy, and just like I did with Keith and Bobby. There are certain spaces of music in which I legit live... this is one of them, dammit.

I'm not a financial expert, so I'm not going to provide a data driven explainer on how overhead costs increase at salary points (not to mention that these increases tend to correlate with age).

And if I state the obvious y'all give a (bad faith) "lifestyle choice" argument... And I say "bad faith" because unless you're very young or only ever been a minimum wage earner, you understand a. That increased salaries usually cost money to get to (education, certification, relocation). B. In terms of jumps that correlate with age, your expenses change anyway

100K ain't even rich, let alone wealth. Let's start there.
And yes, I know how few people in America are in that income range. I also know ALOT of people at 100K flat who have no disposable income or significant savings, and it's not because they're living above their means. But people do assume you chillin' if you make 6 figures, with no consideration of where you live, what your household overhead is, what you may be playing catch up from (like years of bad credit or heavy loan balances), etc.

I'm honestly shocked how Puff tried to son Jermaine last night...
Like
Mariah
Usher
Bow Wow
JE
Xscape
Kriss Kross
Da Brat
Dem Franchize Boys

Like, Puff was out of pocket based on My Way, Confessions, and Emancipation of Mimi alone especially because... THE HITMEN. JD has gotten on my nerves in multiple ways over the years but we NOT gonna act like this nigga wasn't the Atlanta counterpart to Puff. We're just not. They're direct peers, both wonderkinds with an eye and ear for talent and creating a full lifestyle & culture.

And you had to pay a fee to NOT have your name, number and address listed No, we're always wiling to pull up and fight someone because there was no such thing as throwing subs on the internet, and the mutual understanding was that talking only went so far. But you didn't usually have to track ppl down, these things were arranged.
