Kendrick Lamar was seen wearing a fireman suit this week…

Yall, what if Kendrick dropped a surprise album the same day as Drake on purpose.

WHAT IF K.DOT IS COMING TO MELT THE ICE MAN 😳. That would be petty AF 😂

Femicide Crisis: Rising Gun Violence Against Black Women Rising cases of Black women fatally shot by men they loved highlight a deadly femicide crisis. Black women face disproportionate violence, mostly from intimate partners. Awareness and action are criti...

"Black women are 14 percent of the U.S. population, yet make up over 30 percent of women killed by men. Ninety percent of Black women knew their killer, and in most cases, Black women are killed by Black men. Nearly 80 percent of these murders involve gun violence."

NEW INCREDIBLE INSULT DISCOVERED

A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown. 📸 Dawn Denise Boyer of Gloucester, Virginia

If you kill your wife, you don't get to be a husband anymore Some lessons from the media coverage of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer's murders.

My latest.

I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.

One way media can fight back against male violence:

If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.

You’re her killer.

Language has so much power. This is an important essay to read and think about.

Since when is Arby’s a Multi Billion Dollar Company

I like to imagine that Zohran Mamdani, Socialist African-born Muslim, was literally willed into existence by the collective psychosis of the Tea Party GOP over Obama, like the ectoplasm under NYC in Ghostbusters II

Barack Obama reading stories for kiddos with Mamdani to normalize him without saying he agrees with any of Mamdani’s stances in particular… the kid’s still got it.

Incredible day of 30+ species on my bird walk this morning, this time with a local birding club.

The picture of the day is this gorgeous tree swallow who was nesting nearby, we had to go around it, and so I got a beautiful shot :)

I still feel sick about violence against Dr. Cerina Fairfax at the hands of her husband.

If Black men's mental health is being brought up in response to Justin Fairfax murdering his wife then the response is an infantilizing cop out.

He is not the victim. His wife and children are.

Her exact words were “fuck his ass”

Virginia governor, advocates remember Dr. Cerina Fairfax Dr. Cerina Fairfax is remembered as a mentor and community leader as officials call attention to the broader impact of domestic gun violence toward Black women.

While you were sleeping…

"Aww yeah, you was talking all that good shit a second ago!"

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

Horrible, horrible situation. Those poor babies.
