"The Real World: DC" vet Mike Manning namechecking his onetime gig on his current (#BeyondTheGates) was another welcome #popculture check-in. #blackmastodon #blacksky #BTG #soapsky #soapstodon #swirlsky #swirlstodon

Okay, Izaiah's name getting thrown in there shows a serious level of hubris on Elon's part. #BeyondTheGates #blackmastodon #blacksky #BTG #soapsky #soapstodon

Unless Jacob ends up using the enforcer role as a covert opportunity to find dirt on Joey, I doubt this pimping-blackmail combo (say its name!) will go far, or well. #BeyondTheGates #blackmastodon #blacksky #BTG #soapsky #soapstodon

Work and other stuff have kept me from watching #BeyondTheGates live (The last few days of #streamingcatchup of 3 wks of episodes has been... a little bit less than productive.), but I'm BAAAACK. #BTG #blackmastodon #blacksky #soapsky #soapstodon

I'm now expecting the Fickell firing as a breaking news crawl, possibly during SNL... #wisfb #sconnie #ncaafb #b1g #sportandsociety

Pre-#NoKings fit pic. Husband and I made it 90 minutes on a grassy lot near Dodgeville (Wis.) city hall through some good speakers and a positive crowd before his legs and my back mutually said "Enough".

"Along with the termination, Tulane altered the course’s syllabus, removing the article, a Harvard School of Public Health discussion about the resurgence of polio in Gaza."

My alma mater continues to embarrass. Public Health students learning public health?
oh no

Tulane changes syllabus, fires academic manager over Gaza article • Louisiana Illuminator
Some say that the incident is yet another glimpse of the tense climate experienced on local and national campuses by people who support Palestine.

Just heard this week's #vibecheckpod (oddly, on the day Wisc.Public Radio debuts the Sam Sanders Show). All 3 of you, esp. @samsanders.bsky.social are beautiful, loved, and blessed! #onmyiphone #podcastsincolor

Hi #vibecheckpod honeys!! I suggest you give Have I Got News for You (US edition on CNN/HBO Max) some time. Amber Ruffin indeed still has it IMHO! #streamingcatchup #bestofblack
