The WNBA has personality. The NBA are a bunch of dudes named Jalen and everybody’s baby-daddy Ant.

Rediscover Cyndi Lauper’s Debut Album ‘She’s So Unusual’ (1983) | Tribute

Lauper’s debut LP is a serious record about fun—a sophisticated fusion of the era’s best sounds, an exploration of wild independence and what it truly means to be a modern woman.

We watched this in school. I fell asleep so I still don’t know what happened to make MJ sing about that rat.

On this day back in 1972, Michael Jackson moved into the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with his very first solo #1 song, "Ben." A song about a killer rat from the movie with the same title.

She had married Terry. I’m sure that played a part.

He’s not just an athlete. He’s also her lover and her sec-ah-terry.

I am not defending Brian Branch. What he did was stupid and unnecessary; his suspension is deserved. BUT- I will never not find it funny that JuJu Smith-Shuster was running his mouth, sticking his hand out thinking Branch was going to shake it- and then was surprised he got popped. #onepride

I think @stillnaima.bsky.social covered this in an old sermon, but I wonder what would’ve happened if she stuck with Babyface and LA Reid.

The way reality tv casts from social media, RW went downhill when they started casting at colleges. It was better when the cast came from all walks of life.

RIP Tanqueray 🥲

Awww man Tanqueray died

humansofny IG account picture of Tanqueray with the caption:

humansony We've lost a legend. Stephanie 'Tanqueray' Johnson passed away last night after suffering a severe stroke. She will be most remembered for holding the world in thrall with her no-holds-barred storytelling about life as a burlesque dancer in the 1970's. Stephanie was a complicated person. Her public persona was irresistibly charismatic. Yet behind the scenes I've rarely met somebody who had such difficulty with close relationships. She was internationally adored, yet intensely lonely. She was desirous of companionship, yet quick to cut people out of her life over the smallest slights. Stephanie told me endless stories about how badly her mother treated her as a child, yet remained capable of exhibiting that same behavior toward others. People are complicated.
And the longer you live, the more you realize the most inexcusable behavior often stems from the saddest traumas. There was always a little girl inside of Stephanie who never had a chance to feel safe. A little girl who learned at a young age that the best way to keep from getting hurt was to throw the first punch. But this little girl also had such a love of life. And despite her X-rated stories, and her sharp edges, was capable of such innocence. Stephanie slept with a teddy bear until the day she died. She'd melt in the presence of animals and babies. And until the very end, she laughed like a little girl. In the final weeks of her life all the hard edges melted away. All the defense mechanisms, the learned responses. She reverted back to the little girl she'd been before she'd gotten hurt. And that is the Stephanie that is smiling down on us right now. In her own words: 'When I get to heaven I hope God shows me a movie of my life. But just the funny parts. Not the in-between parts, cause then we'd both start crying. Underneath all the laughs and the gags, it was always about one thing: survival. Tanqueray was a lot of fun.
But Tanqueray …

Of course Trump got the flu shot and the Covid booster. He’s probably had shingles and pneumonia shots too because he’s old. His followers may hate vaccines, but his doctors don’t. He likes stupid people. It doesn’t mean his doctors are stupid.

Vaccines work.
