This is an excellent lesson. Making due with what one has, and creating a sound winning strategy is always rewarding in more ways than one.

You might want to step back a bit and simmer on the fact that the cyclical nature of what is cool and in style or highly ranked is highly dependent upon who the tastemakers are of that day. What is popular for you as a kid will return in popularity once your generation claims the cultural means of production, and…

Dear, sweet chestnut, 007 and Bond are nearly inseparable (for now), and like all literary works of fiction, they can be reinterpreted—-especially, when their copyrights expire. Fully expect to see a murderous Winnie the Pooh soon, as that IP has fallen into public domain. It happens, just go with it.

The plight of sweatshop workers cannot really be fully grasped at scale in a Vice article, but yes, Beyonce appears to do not much better than say everyone else in fashion that is not named American Apparel or an haute couture house when it comes to compensating their workers. That does not absolve her, but very few…

No, I get that the NFL wanted him out of the equation (publicly) but privately, they only care about profits, so this is mediation is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, especially if the NFL does not appeal. To them, they will take the L, and perhaps let Watson fall on his sword another way, harming yet another…

I’m glad you have this encyclopedic knowledge of NFL shenanigans because I just have rando tidbits burnt into my memory, and now that Russell+Ciara have left the Seattle, I have no qualms about throwing everything out with the bathwater.

Beyonce bore no ill-will with this lyric and did not intend on pushing some sort of ableist agenda.

Harvard, you in danja, gurl.

Opus Dei! Have not heard that name in quite some time.

You might be new here. 007 is a code name, so any qualified agent could take that mantle.

Trust that I am with you in regards to Pharrell not being all that he seems.

Kelis, love you girl, but if you do not own the rights to what was sampled, then not only must you have several seats, you must be silent.

Underestimate The Gays at your peril. Dual incomes, with multiple degrees, and no children is a powerful thing when it comes to disposable income to throw at a film like that.

Loooooook, just let me be great, look like Klay Thompson’s younger brother, and slay these red carpets with Regé.

If this is the case, then I volunteer as tribute to become the first Bond Boyfriend.

Root, my dear, Mo’Nique, again!?

Just gonna leave this here. Thanks Madam Tisdale. Disney, you know all of our hearts, right from the beginning :)

Try again. You mentioned what Cosby did, not I. Cosby is in the same sad barrel of crabs that Clarence Thomas and Herschel Walker are in for their “conservative” views with regards to the plights of other Black folks.

Chappelle has clearly taken over Cosby’s conservative, finger-wagging, pudding-flinging mantle.
