Theo Huxtable & Beyond: Remembering Malcolm-Jamal Warner's Contributions To The Culture
A look at Malcolm-Jamal Warner's epic career and the multitudes he contained as fans mourn his shocking death.

I had barely scratched the surface on MJW's contributions to the culture and it's comforting that there's still so much to discover and revisit, even though he's gone.

This headline is going around and the thing that is really bothering me is that buying a single item and then using it and NOT collecting more items is literally the opposite of hoarding.

!!! To shoot the shit you have to have a sense of humor, a quick wit and a breadth of knowledge to draw on. These new folks have none of the kind. They don’t read and they lack curiosity about anything.
This lady on TT said the key to a long term relationship is being able to shoot the shit and……………..yeah. I be shocked by how many couples can’t shoot the shit. I don’t wanna even be around people I can’t shoot the shit with 😭😭😭 I’m constantly shooting the shit

This is ridiculous I too, was a 13 year old girl who faithfully learned how to use Acoustica Mix Craft back in 2005 and when I didnt have access to free beats from the internet, I downloaded instrumentals and recorded in my room on those. The mic I had cost $60 and I used a SCARF as a pop filter!
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

She’s a fucking liar she could have taken music classes at any point , especially if she had financial aid. .. they’ll allow that for credit and sometimes even partner you with discounts for Curtis students learning pedagogy , or any of the schools in Quaker

One thing Eddie Murphy is gonna do is make sure all his ppl eat. Watch his movies just to see how many “that guy” actors & actresses you can spot!
I have never seen Life. I keep saying I'm going to sit down and watch it, but I never actually do it.
It's so weird, because that movie is LOADED with comedy heroes.

This is key: "Atlanta officials spent years trying to lure major chain grocery stores to neighborhoods that don’t offer residents big supermarkets with fresh, healthy food [but] large private operators have been reluctant to open a store in poorer neighborhoods." Gov't addressing a market failure.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)
