Having worked in publishing with foreign media, I don't see how @goldenglobes can meet demands - e.g. 13 qualified foreign entertainment journalists of African descent in LA - to meet US representation quotas. Impossible. They should cease the award. https://deadline.com/2021/05/mark-ruffalo-rips-hfpa-lack-of-diversity-1234752294/

.@mbeKCRW @NovenaCarmel @anthonyvaladez On my knees before James Brown 'Lost Someone', speaking in tongues, an atheist no more. Soul shaking. Thank you.

.@Quillette Don't know what sort of platform you're using for the site. Modified WordPress? If so, there should be an option to list items in this category/tag that puts oldest first, so that Part 1 is at the top. It's confusing otherwise.

.@deadlinedominic Funny, while I was reading your trite, slapdash-as-usual coverage, "vile" is the word that came to mind for your rote attitude. Age-ism? So cool. You play the toady well, but you're on the wrong side of history.

.@apnews In other words, a White woman was killed by BIPOCs. You don't mention that like you would if the races were reversed. When White people are killed, you never mention race. The Boulder 10 were also Whites murdered by a BIPOC. #NoDoubleStandards
