So, all of my R&B loving Gen-X contemporaries (especially Black females, and obviously males, too) are going crazy trying to get tickets to this' #TheNewEditionWayTour '(see listing)

This got me to thinking about my Top Five N.E. songs (see list below-along with the winning track 🏆)

Wonder Man is perhaps the most un-Marvel MCU show ever. More FX than Marvel. It's also a fantastic and very realistic look at a working actor's life in LA

Destin Daniel Cretton sets the show's rhythm at an indie pace, which is refreshing, but hardcore fans may hate it

Ben Kingsley is Emmy-worthy

Hmmm. Musical pound for musical pound, is this the best "80s Song" of all time (disregarding genre preferences, etc 🧐🤔)? Everything is debatable of course, but I really think so ....

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

Here's the shooter, in fine shape walking to a car, getting in and fleeing the scene literally seconds later

This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.

You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”

#NowWatching: Thanks to @khokhoboo.bsky.social for getting this on my radar! I'm looking forward to seeing if they cover his feud with Dan Harmon. (The latter blocked me on Instagram after accusing me of "pulling the conversational handbrake" on one of his threads.)

How quickly he changed from, “The President of Peace” to “Bomb Don”. Almost like he has a big domestic problem he’s trying to distract us from.
