I just saw a Target commercial featuring every ethnicity. It looked like the case of a 90s United Colors of Benetton ad. They really want that old thang back 😂

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Speaking of TV, y’all have five seconds to catch up on “Interview with the Vampire,” which is the best written and most superbly acted show out right now.

I’m not debating this either.

It completely defeats the purpose of a judicial system! And Clarence Thomas was quoted recently saying that legal precedent "isn't the gospel" sir did you even go to law school???

Straight men don't drink water, take vitamins or have skincare routines to preserve themselves. So once that metabolism starts dropping at 30 it's a wrap.

The ratio of pretty girls to handsome men aren’t…. The same… and it’s really upsetting 😭😭😭😭

I see gorgeous girls all the time but ask me how many times I do a double take for a guy? It’s rare 😭😭😭😭😭

The guy sitting in front of me at court this morning had super strong cologne which set off my allergies and gave me a migraine 🫩 Soap and hot water daily is enough, please stop spraying yourself in a cloud of chemicals!

I can tell I'm an older parent because the first thing I want to know when I'm looking at a toy is does it make noise 🫠

Shout-out to the guy in my neighborhood who put a Jurassic Park decal on his F-150. Best use of a big dumb red truck I've seen so far

He really should have gone full R&B and switched it up on the second album after people were rocking with him.

Mrs. Esquire @atlbest.bsky.social · 19d

JC Chase really should have had the solo career of Justin Timberlake but I know why he didn't. He had too much creative control over his solo debut and while it was actually really good, it was an eclectic, multi-genre effort that was never going to be appreciated by his former audience.

Mind you the salad was 4 oz chicken on mostly iceberg lettuce with 1 tomato slice and 1/4 of a boiled egg- I've had salads that were rightfully $15 but this was not it. And the red beans & rice were $8

Mrs. Esquire @atlbest.bsky.social · 19d

I'm about to start bringing a cooler of food to work on office days because the prices at downtown Houston restaurants are outrageous. A breakfast sandwich and a 12 oz cold brew from a local coffee shop was $21! Lunch was a grilled chicken salad & small side of red beans & rice- $25! Insanity 😤

I wish more parents were as worried about raising abusers, rapists and scammers as they were about autism and queerness.

The same men who want women to raw dog pregnancy with no Tylenol "because it's natural" won't accept that erectile dysfunction is nature's way of preventing old men with bad sperm from having babies. 😮‍💨

Immigration attorneys, immigrants living in the US legally and non-White US citizens now worry that innocuous activities that aren’t indicative of illegal behavior will be used as reasons for law enforcement to stop and question them.

Supreme Court decision fuels legal immigrants’ fears they’ll be stopped by law enforcement | CNN Politics

Legal immigrants are more worried since the Supreme Court cleared the way for a person’s ethnicity to be a factor in immigration stops by law enforcement.

Parking your kids in front of screens is robbing them of critical thinking skills, the ability to learn patience and sit with boredom, and most of all creativity and imagination.

When I was a wee one I got Sesame Street in the morning and that was it! The TV got turned on for Days of Our Lives at 4pm, the local news at 5pm and back off! So you know what I did? I read books, colored, played outside, wrote poems & played with my Barbie dolls.

"My child can't live without Disney+". You know you can rent videos for streaming from the library, right? And Disney's whole catalog is piled up on DVDs sitting in used bookstores and Goodwills across America. Come on now! Get some intestinal fortitude!

“I wont cut someone out of my life because we dont believe the same things.”

Because you dont have any integrity. I befriend people of different religious beliefs. Two close friends are athiests. We all different. But befriending racists and bigots?

Nah hoe.
