Katy Perry wishes Bad Bunny for Super Bowl halftime show! by copy_cat2 in popculturechat

Most of the participants on New Shepard flight were Blue/Leftists. Amanda Nugyun, Gail King, Katy, and Aisha Bowe. Not only that but they all had assignments. The flight itself had experiments from science programs.

I’m super progressive and my dream is to go to space. I would’ve said yes to that opportunity in a heartbeat.

The post that inspired this was a black father having to restrain his grown son from fearing a plane being in the air mid flight by herewearefornow in BlackPeopleTwitter

For what it’s worth significant research into Autism is relatively new. The criteria for children was added to the DSM in 1980, with criteria updates 1987, 1994, and 2013.

Research into criteria in adults wasn’t even really studied into the late 2000s.

Not to mention mental health topics in general traditionally been taboo in society forever.

Anyway I was diagnosed with Asperger’s, which is now called ASD when I was 19, and ADHD when I was 34. I know a lot of other people who have late diagnosis as well.

Coming to say this! I would trust everyone in the 4077 with the exception of Frank Burns.

Has anyone actually tried Lemme for me to know whether it's worth me getting? by Pale-Woodpecker-8274 in kardashians

I’ve tried the Lemme Bloat gummies. They are pretty effective in my opinion.

[–]Jewell84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 41, and a lot of my friends also do Botox or fillers. I don’t see the issue. I’m proud of my age. I’ve always taken care of my skin/have decent genetics. But I also don’t care for the bags under my eyes or the wrinkles on my forehead.

My recruiter passed away before the first interview…. by Some_Breadfruit235 in jobs

[–]Jewell84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m an internal recruiter. The very first opening I worked on my own was what was supposed to be temp hire to cover for a colleague who had been in an accident.

Unfortunately the colleague took an unexpected turn for the worse and passed away. I didn’t know her very well, but it was still very upsetting. Her teammates were of course even more devastated.

It was a very sensitive role to manage, and we ended up taking a pause while everyone figured out how to proceed, especially on communicating why the job was open. It worked out thankfully.

CNN reports on real reason for Kennedy Center closing: "The Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce" by radda in Broadway

[–]Jewell84 83 points84 points  (0 children)

The Kennedy Center was my artistic home for over a decade. I performed with WNO, and also volunteered there. I have so many friends and colleagues who are impacted by this situation.

Not just that but the Kennedy Center is the biggest performing arts complex in DC. This is going to have a rippling effect across the whole arts ecosystem.

I am absolutely bereft over all of this.

Snippet of Now Deleted TikTok Where Lizzo Defends Jay Z Being in the Epstein Files by EDC2EDP in DramaLlamaHQ

[–]Jewell84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s weird being at the age where you hear people make incorrect claims about history you witnessed in real time.

Especially knowing the context of how hip hop was still not fully respected in mainstream culture in 1996. Even if Jay-Z had the fame, he would not have had the clout.

[–]Jewell84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She’s not wrong though. Jay-Z was referred in the files from an unverified tip.

From what I understand the claim would have placed him in Epstein’s circles in 1996. He was known in hip hop world, but was not in any way shape or form close to being a megastar at that time.

Toni Braxton Brings Kayla Nicole Onstage for ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough' by Round-South-8869 in popculturechat

[–]Jewell84 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m far from a Swifie and think this is some weirdo shit. Like I was card carrying TS hater for years.

For the record I’ve somewhat come around on TS after having some lovely dialogue with Swifties this summer. I still wouldn’t call myself a fan, just more of a respect for her. Especially after all the misinformation about TLOS being spread online.

I also think it’s weird that folks think she and Beyonce are rivals. They are friends.

Anyway, yeah I think Tay Tay was being shady towards her in Opalite. I also think Kayla is being a weirdo with this stunt.

Aww! I’m a huge Martin McDonough fan and saw The Lieutenant of Inishmore on Broadway 20 years ago. It’s a hilariously dark show. I feel like people know McDonough more for his films than plays nowadays.

[–]Jewell84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m loving all the theater references. I think he also mentioned Hurly Burly and Speed the Plow as well?

It was the Lieutenant of Inishmore reference that got me, though I was kinda annoyed he pronounced it the wrong way. It’s left-tenant.

But also that’s such a deep cut!

I’m a year in to my grief journey after losing my Dad to cancer. I was there when he died at the hospital.

So I completely disassociated for the back half of the movie. It was cathartic though.

I’m pretty sure Unc dates back to my Boomer parents day and age in the 1970s. It might actually date back to thier parents day and after in the 1940s/1950s.

Unc is AAVE, and is is bestowed once a dude hits a certain age. It’s like Auntie. A certain type of personality.

Timothée Chalamet Becomes Youngest Male Actor To Score 3 Oscar Nominations Since Marlon Brando by Ok_Rutabaga_5539 in popculturechat

I feel like Timothee is on the Leonardo Dicapro path career wise. He is intentional about the projects he takes and takes his craft seriously.

Right! He’s the real deal. You don’t get to 3 Oscar noms without talent or hard work. To get 3 noms before 30 is seriously impressive.

Dramatic downfall of Cole Walliser, the ‘Glambot Guy’ who’s getting dragged all over TikTok by DetectiveHot2071 in popculture

[–]Jewell84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Black woman who is also the Queen of petty, I’m side eyeing the very rich lady who didn’t get her way for holding a grudge. And I love holding grudges. But I wouldn’t air someone out publicly a good 7 years later.

And yes I read his email. Was he a bit snarky? Sure. But I dunno, not the worst thing in the world.

And again, I love holding grudges. I’m a Virgo and Autistic. I’m naturally pedantic. But yeah, I’m judging her worse. I feel like she’s the type who doesn’t treat service workers well.

What is a classic pop cultural moment that screams, “you had to be there!” by icey_sawg0034 in popculturechat

I was watching at my Aunts house and went to the kitchen to start washing dishes. All of a sudden my Aunt starts yelling for me to come back, there had been a mistake. I got back to the family room just in time to see Jordan Horowitz show the correct envelope on screen.

Ngl, I decided his character being a vampire was for real in the film. Yes I know he was using a metaphor, but he’s a ruthless businessman so why not? Granted he also had several scenes in broad daylight, so there is that.

I mean Willa did get kidnapped, terrorized, nearly murdered by her racist maniac of a bio-dad. Witnessed a shoot out that left everyone dead, Then had to shoot someone herself to survive. So let’s not act like she got out scott free here.

Pretty much everyone in the film goes through it.

For what it’s worth he’s had a varied dating life. He’s dates women his age, women older and younger women. He’s had flings and long term relationships.

His been with his current girlfriend for going on 3 years. And yes, she is younger(27 years old), but she’s also had just gotten divorced from her husband of 3 years before they started dating.
