Wink Martindale passing away at the venerable age of 91 doesn’t make me as sad as I would’ve imagined. He gave so much life hosting those game shows.

Don’t tell me this photo isn’t a fair representation after the outright disgrace this dude Trump & Vance put on today with Zelensky in the Oval Office. Every last one of his supporters & cronies should wear this shame to their last days. You were all told, repeatedly. Smdh.

Spent the last weekend in D.C., a much needed time to be revived with family & good friends. And I got the chance to hit the National Museum of African American History & Culture. Wrote about the experience and the latest exhibit: #blacksky #writing

It’s been plain for so long. Books like this delve into it, but they’ve been in that spirit all the way back before Obama

Got to vibe with friends last night at a Black-owned bar in Brooklyn. Savored some fine drinks and good conversation, had some wonderful laughs and sang to some soul in order to replenish our souls with all that’s going on.

Got to treat one of my oldest friends to tickets to see his fave #NBA team, the Miami Heat against the Brooklyn Nets. Also turned out to be the night of Hall of Famer Vince Carter’s jersey retirement. Despite the waaaaay too steep seats, it was cool being there for history.

People are out here surprised a Nazi is gonna Nazi salute especially if he was potentially high during the inauguration.
The fact that you might not be sure if I’m talking about Elon Musk or Trump or Miller proves just how bad things really are today. Esp. with outlets “sanewashing” it. Smh.

RIP Bob Uecker…had to watch “Major League” again this evening. He had some quotables in this movie, including this one. My personal favorite - “one goddamn hit?!!” “You can’t say that on air! “Don’t worry, nobody’s listening anyway.” Tip of the cap to one of the great ⚾️ personalities.

Watching “Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists” again, and seeing this segment today, as Donald Trump is going to be in the White House in less than a week, is a reminder that so many who said they wanted this a second time knew exactly what they wanted. It was never about the price of eggs.

First time Justine Bateman’s been asked to be on TV in years and it’s on that channel. Anti-Blackness will always do wonders for the mediocre.

Elon is really fighting for his life on his own platform.

The way some of these “resisters are out here folding for Apartheid Andy in a heartbeat is astounding and alarming - but unfortunately expected.

Thanksgiving 2024 - spent it with fam, first in Brooklyn with an elder at his nursing home then in Atlantic City. Fun, laughs, a solid turkey dinner from a BBQ spot & Wet Willie’s (IYKYK). Superb time.
