For years, I have talked at length about how “Total Eclipse of the Heart” is the benchmark of what love and heartbreak songs should be: indulgent, emotionally dense, crackling at the edges. Please, really listen to it today and hear how Bonnie Tyler laid it bare. Rest easy, icon. 🕊️

I am simply begging him to tell about something else, this same point comes up quarterly. Also pretty moot when they’ve already attempted a revival.

That apology should also come from other fellow progressives, who were too busy clamoring for morality gold stars from the very people who hate them that they were willing to throw the rest of us under the bus just to say they took the high road.

Two points, same theme: 1.) Between the release of “Press” and this “courtroom edition” of her new album, Cardi B remains undefeated in spinning legal drama into rollout opportunities. 2.) Doja Cat is very good at what she does (Performing, marketing, general spectacle).

Heyyyyy, so the gleeful, post-courtroom influencer recounts of the Diddy trial are weird. THEY ARE WEIRD. And I don’t remember seeing this with any other trial. Anyway, Cassie’s trauma isn’t TikTok fodder. Stick to actual journalists who know how to report professionally, with compassion.

If your brain thinks suggesting a book JAM-PACKED WITH THE N-WORD as a reading recommendation in response to a movie with a Black-led cast set in the Mississippi Delta, you aren't, on any level, the person to be writing a piece.

Facebook hated the Halftime show, which means it was a hit.
