The continued scapegoating of game sale performance on the LGBTQ community does nothing but out you as homophobic. Whether you like it or not, queer people make and play games.

My latest with @TheVoiceNews
The UK media hounded Professor Jason Arday to his death. Now they’re potentially handing out prizes for it.
UK mainstream media is anti-Black to the core.

NEW: Why did EA shut down BioWare? Twitter thinks the studio failed because it was too woke. BlueSky thinks Saudi Arabia killed the studio for being too gay.
The real reason? Star Wars bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

I’m still amazed at the number of folks who don’t understand what quotation marks mean. In this case, that I’m quoting an article from TheCut .com.
Also I’ve shared pictures of my parents on this app, so why lie?
Because all they have is lies. And y’all wonder why I can’t work with these people? They’re illiterate and immoral. A dreadful waste.

Fun Fact: RZA met the owner of the Speed Racer cartoon while in Tokyo. He happened to be a huge fan of The Wu, so he allowed them to use any footage they wanted for it, making it the first rap anime music video on US television

Dude we really gotta stop making just anyone famous…..
This was the f*cking bar
When En Vogue hit SNL in March 1992, they dismantled the myth that girl groups couldn’t sing full-throttle live in heels. Trading leads across Cindy, Dawn, Terry, and Maxine, their dynamic control remained untouchable—from Dawn’s raspy rock bite to Terry’s operatic belts. When they converged on the hook, their four-part harmonies locked in with their blend and zero backing tape. The album dropped 3 days later, proving to themselves and to the world just how Funky, these Divas really are.

We have an adulterer as King.
A side chick as Queen.
....and an alleged paedophile ex prince, whose mother paid out millions to get him off the hook.
But sure..... Meghan is a problem.

Ishmael Butler on feeling left behind as rap tastes shifted and Digable Planets broke up, and the creative metamorphosis that led to him starting the Shabazz Palaces project, which led to a Sub Pop deal and a career renaissance.

I’m rooting for @AngieNixon!
I like her and what her candidacy says about the potential for disruption in the Democratic Party.
5 DAYS, y’all. ⏳
We have the opportunity to make history and turn this Senate seat back over to the people.
That means a U.S. senator who believes in stronger regulations on AI so that jobs stay with workers. Getting rid of surveillance cameras like Flock and going after the folks polluting our beautiful state illegally.
Change can’t wait. Early voting ends this weekend: AngieNixon.com/vote. Get out and vote for me!

Your work w/Heritage conflates fatherlessness w/out-of-wedlock births which are 2 different things. Separate them and show while marriage needs improvement, black fathers are WILLING/ACTIVE participants in the lives of their children. But that gives black men too much dignity🤷🏿♂️
I wasn’t going to bring up marriage and family, but @angela_rye opened the door so I had to be honest about both why—and where—I do my work. This interaction is why it is so important to have conversations that cross political and ideological lines.

a new Chinese Fury Road just dropped. Dunhuang Warriors (敦煌英雄) with action by Peng Zhang (Spider Man Brand New Day and I am What I am 2) has perhaps even bigger spectacle than Blade of the Guardians.
It dares to ask the question: What if Baron Harkonnen could fucking *GO*
