He was able to “date” young girls because he was a conventionally handsome guy. If he was weird or skeevy looking dude, more people would have problems with his behavior. Because we think he was attractive, we make the mental leap that he could “have” anyone he wanted. Any girl/woman would be lucky to catch him and…

If it’s live action, I’d recommend Nicole Beharie. You can have my money now. 

I just to work for a major medical institution (hospital + med school) for almost 10 years. I think people misunderstand the influence the pharm reps have on medical offices. The reps would come in an buy lunch for the doctors and the rest of the staff. Might be pizza or subs, but it makes a difference. All those pens…

I turned 38 this year, and I put myself on a “would Angela Bassett do this” plan. Would Angela Bassett wear sunscreen, drink an extra glass of water. Maybe you could you the same thing with Kravitz. I bet you’d feel healthier and improve your wardrobe, too.

I love La Croix, but I also really like the Target brand Cucumber Mint bubbly water. If you want to have a premium bougie moment, add La Croix and Bittermilk cocktail mixer to your watermelon aqua frescas. 

It doesn’t matter which political party a person is affiliated with if they are a garbage person. Good riddance! I don’t how great your movies, music, painting, or poetry is. To quote my Pops, “cut this joker loose”!

Too hot, might be distracting. 

This song is kind of fantastic...thanks! I could use a chill song after the Serena/Kerber match. I’m still in my feelings about that one.

Don’t ever change!

It’s Cottonland! Amazingly, it seems like no one has uploaded this SNL skit to the interwebs. It’s all about a plantation theme park where white folks work off their guilt. They get to pick cotton and sing spirituals. Eddie Murphy and Stevie Wonder did it better. 

Glad to hear something nice today. They’re so flippin’ cute. 

I would love to know if Iggy Pop (or probably more likely John Cale) had a copy of that record. Led Zepellin wouldn’t have The Lemon Song without Robert Johnson’s Travelling Riverside Blues (squeeze those lemons, I guess. :) You never know...

Nothing new under the sun!

Fantastic!

I love that songs have been lowkey nasty since the beginning. I took a blues and jazz class about 20 years ago, and the freak tunes were the only thing I remember.

I don’t know why this reminds me of this little boy...

When I bought my home a few years ago, I made a point of using a black-owned bank, Citizens Trust Bank. They were amazing and got a great rate. Nobody ever talked down to me or tried to talk me into some crazy loan product. One of the best choices I’ve ever made!

I initially read “cornrows” instead of “combovers”, and quite guttural yelped NO! They can get those matching combovers now. 

My first thought was “damn, girl”! And then Make Me Feel started spontaneously playing in the background...

Thank you! I completely agree that there’s never been a secret game for MIB to play in the first place. William found a part of himself that was vile, punishing, and merciless. I think the park gave him a place to luxuriate himself in all of his basest urges, and he didn’t feel bad about until his wife died. If…
