Two characters in the new Transformers movie, Skids and Mudflap, are getting a lot more attention than the film’s creators probably anticipated. Given their use of slang, their shuckin’ and jivin’ personae, and the fact that they are unremorsefully (unashamedly?) illiterate, particularly vis a vis the behavior of the other Autobots, some people question whether [...]

The Sixers are going back to their classic logo. Now let’s see if they can go somewhere in the playoffs.

I’ma try, try, try to do this without spoiling the movie, but we’ll see what happens. Overall, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was okay. Not great, not totally wack, it was okay. Was it worth gettin up and going to the 12:01 show for? Probably not. But y’all couple of people lookin at this probably [...]

One statistical projection says that by 2034, 100% of Black women will be overweight, as defined by the BMI. When it comes to people, it’s usually the case that all of anything is nothing, so it’s not gonna be true that literally every Black woman will be overweight, but statistically all.

Apparently, Crunchberry Crunch does not contain actual berries! Forgive my skepticism for never having thought so in the first place, but a California woman found out for sure, and because she wanted to protect us all, tried to sue the manufacturer to get them to stop fooling us. She, apparently, had been fooled for four [...]

Last night, I did something atypical: I watched television. I probably watched more TV last night than I had all year, not counting sporting events. There wasn’t anything that I particularly wanted to see, but when I saw that they were running a marathon of the Tyler Perry shows, I wanted to take a look, [...]
