Sinners fans can be proud. The film did amazingly well at the Oscars. Cinematography, Score, Screenplay, and ACTOR?!? Incredible night.

I love One Battle After Another immensely. It’s an amazing film.

Only six Black men have won Best Actor. Michael B Jordan is the 6th. Wow.

I’m so proud of the Academy for recognizing Michael B Jordan’s greatness in this film.

No matter what happens from here, we can’t say Sinners wasn’t taken seriously by Oscar voters. It’s gotten several important awards.

It’s so beautiful to see Sinners win cinematography. It’s a visually gorgeous film. And to have that award go to a woman for the first time is beautiful.

One Battle winning Supporting Actor and upsetting for Casting suggests it’ll be a One Battle night. #oscars

I haven’t “evolved” on this. I was not talking about my feelings when I reported that Chalamet is a bigger star within Hollywood.

Timmy Chalalalamet has had one of the worst Oscar campaigns ever. He seems to have talked his way out of an Oscar. Not just with the ballet opera comment. He seems to have turned voters off of him personally.

This is an Oscars where there’s some real suspense over Best Picture. One Battle has dominated most of the Oscar season but Sinners seems to have some late season momentum…

One Battle After Another is a film where a Black girl is a damsel in distress trapped by powerful white men and she rescues herself.

Sinners is like Black America’s movie. It’s our movie and its success is our success. And many of us see One Battle as the antagonist, the film that did BW dirty. So it’s an epic battle of the super pro-Black movie vs the movie that gave us Junglep@ssy. #Oscars

Posted a video on YouTube about Kanye's interview while wearing a Klan robe. I thought he was going to say he's joining them but he did not. But I think I understand why he wore it. YT @toureshow

If you want to do a long filibuster for the purpose of disturbing Senate business, wouldn't you do it during the day when the Senate is in session rather than at night when Senators aren't actually aren't doing business?

I'm making a video in CapCut. There's lots of overlays that have to align with specific moments. I want to add a clip but have the overlays stay with the clips that I originally put them with. How do you do that?

Trump had a temper tantrum. In public. Like a toddler who isn’t getting his way.

The right's obsession with Zelensky wearing a suit is bizarre. He doesn't wear a suit so he can signal his solidarity with his people. It's traditional for world leaders who are at war to not wear a suit. Churchill did it in WW2. If Zelensky wore a suit would Trump have not thrown a temper tantrum?

Just so we’re clear, a one day boycott is performative BS. A boycott that’s short, where the company knows when it’s going to end, is BS. If you’re going to boycott it has be for a while, long enough for it to hurt you. If it doesn't hurt you, it won’t hurt the corporation.

Noah Lyles the Olympic champ in his first podcast interview since the Olympics. We talk about how he won the 100 and how he dealt with Covid in the 200. And how he feels trapped by the Olympics. This is really honest and open and powerful. Fascinating convo with a smart fascinating guy. #noahlyles

I was on TV recently with some conservative and during the break he mocked libs in general for calling Trump a dictator during the campaign. I was offended on an intellectual level even though I had to applaud that his gaslighting was next level.

As the dictatorship rose, Dems said, "Sit back. Don't worry, it'll collapse." What if it doesn't?

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.
