i have a friend who will never admit but i know.
i think we all know “that one friend/family member who didn’t vote or voted wrong”.
suddenly,
they are loud about all that is happening in the country right now.
i mean,
appalled!
…but we know.

so the alleged reason why “the indian lady with the cackle” wasn’t elected for president.
not a shocker but…

i’m gonna font a controversial hot take.
so over the weekend,
john davidson,
a guest with tourette’s who inspired “i swear,”
shouted the N-word during a BAFTAs segment featuring michael b. jordan and delroy lindo.

and 110%…

millennials are now getting the horrors of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans behind the shows we grew up watching.
what a time to be alive!
/s

there are gonna be future generations watching the 20s and shaking their heads too.
influencers?
this political climate?
music for the drug addicted and suicidal?

there was a time when we watched america’s next top model as pure entertainment.
we laughed.
we quoted it.
we argued about winners like it was the super bowl.
so many iconic memes and gifs came from that show like:

we didn’t question the cruelty because we were focused on being entertained.
did we really believe those vixens would become top models?
we sure did,
the same way we believed other shows would create idols,
survivors,
and millionaires.
watching “reality check: inside america’s next top model” on netflix felt like…

there was an artist i liked and stanned for.
once i started getting my paws wet in the industry,
everyone (and i mean everyone) told me what a nasty attitude they had.
i didn’t want to believe it because their music really got me through some shit.
as the years went on,
they got exposed for treating everyone,
including staff and other people like shit when the camera was off.
where there is smoke; there is usually a 5 alarm blaze incoming.

sirjohn.
daddy and make up + skin care extraordinaire.
we will font more about him another time but lets get into his latest.
so he went on the “naked beauty planet” podcast and the topic of the barbie lady came up.
this is another person with an alleged story about the barbie lady…

i’ve come to the conclusion that we have all become miserable.
that president of ours isn’t helping matters either.
these folks got all the money in the entire world and living in pure misery.
they miserable cause they rich; we miserable cause we ain’t got it.
i had to wonder if being wealthy is all it’s cracked up to be.
so i went to a superbowl party last night,
and cue my own misery,
was bored out of my mind…

i appreciate gen z on rih’s social media for their super sleuthing.
when i was a young millennial in my 20s,
i thought i knew everything because:

i was the master of the universe.

as i grew up,
i learned very quickly how i was loud and wrong about many things.
people i admired and went to bat for disappointed me as time went on.
so when i see all this discourse about jay z and harvey weinstein,
if i was a 20-something gen z,
i would probably believe what i saw and take it as truth.
realistically…
