Farai goes in on Nate Silver and those who didn’t heed the warnings of black/WOC journalists in 2016. A thread:

From Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭

I was impressed with Olivia Lux, especially considering she’s new to drag. She’s a natural. The thing I loathe about Drag Race, which has only gotten worse in recent seasons, is their need to reinvent the wheel and create contrived drama with rule changes and what-not. I get they want to have a “messy,” campy, soapy show, but it’s as if they have no confidence in the CUN&T of the queens to keep viewers involved. Oh but there has to be a gag-worthy twist, gurl, or the gays will be bored.

Last week was NOT the best introduction to these girls. This week was so much better. Symone turned it.

This is unbearably sad: Sunny Hostin lost *both* of her parents-in-law to COVID over the holidays. She spoke about it earlier today on The View.

This aired tonight at the end of Alex Trebek’s final episode:

Can they kill off Jordan? Cyrus can do one good thing in his tenure.

I needed the ghost of Hilary Curtis to appear and check old sis.

My ankle hurts just watching. Flipkens had to retire from her match after this (up a set over Sofia Kenin).

The character of Cyrus just doesn’t work at all, both in the writing and sadly in the performance. GH has really undermined the show by centering every story around him.

Today I actually think The Talk is doing a better job of covering yesterday’s mob assault on the Capitol than The View. They had Margaret Brennan on and immediately jumped into the questions most people were asking, without all the grandstanding of Meghan McCain. Elaine Welteroth brings a lot of the intelligence that the show lost when Sara and Aisha left.

No worries. This is the guy from Shanghai I posted. He’s actually a friend of a friend. https://instagram.com/evanwuzihao?igshid=ebpep0zwmmj0

Oh he’s lovely. Do you know who he is?

Great physical casting on Hilary/Amanda’s sister.
