@DramatistDreamer: bat signal! Tamara Tunie.

Yep. Bizarre news. Olivia is right there ripe for a recast yet JG always goes for the most “unexpected” play that yields confusion more than excitement. Not that he’d do any better with Olivia, but at least her son and a few of her contemporaries are still around.

Not surprising: Brad Gilbert and Coco Gauff have ended their partnership:

NAC seems to be taking to his raised profile like the proverbial fish to water. He certainly has his Blue Steel down better than his Menendez brother. Cooper Koch looks like a different “It” actor every time I see him. Looking forward to the big reviews.

I mean, this guy really wanted to be a mafioso. Sickening, but also confirmation of all the rumors over the years that people made jokes about:

Been a rough couple of weeks with deaths of Black celebrities who have inspired so many, from James Earl Jones, who lived a long life yet felt immortal, to Frankie Beverly, who was so beloved in the Black community, to the unbelievably shocking passings of Fatman Scoop (after collapsing at a performance), Rich Homie Quan (at 34), and Michaela DePrince (just 29 and at the same time as her adoptive mother?!!) and now Tito Jackson, who was such a key figure in that family’s story. Very depressing.

This dude is just a monster.

Totally. His songs always summoned a Sunday afternoon vibe.

Frankie Beverly of Frankie Beverly and Maze has passed away:

Danke! 🥰
