    Still thinking about Jerrod Carmichael’s that premiered on last night. Even with a small group, it was an important reminder that Black Women aren’t a monolith. I’m interested to see who is centered in the next episode.

    Being able to pitch a film (as the director) to someone who’s cast you in projects as an actress...I never knew how good that feeling would be.

    Remember when Pam was an A&R at a record label? Tichina Arnold and Tyrese singing “If It’s Magic” is still one of my favorite scenes from “Martin.” This episode was setting the stage for her spin-off “Goin’ For Mine” that never got picked up. I was excited for it.

    It’s interesting how both Lee Daniels and Steve Harvey publicly scolded Mo’Nique on refusing to “play the game” are now getting their shit canceled. I love this song! Turn it up!

    A guarantee: there's no other morning read as dope as The Beat. A challenge: if you know of 1, let me know. We do it An ask: Don't be out of rhythm. Catch The Beat! The only platform intersecting politics, policy, & people of color.

    Security cam on the kitchen counter because it hits front and back doors. Two cats who are never on the counters when I'm home walk back and forth past it constantly when I'm not

    My cats know that they aren’t allowed on counters, and I don’t ever see them there. But I see signs that they jump on the counters while I’m not home. Cleaning the counters before cooking is a thing.

    1. How does 8chan, a racist message board linked to the gun massacres in New Zealand and Pittsburgh, generate enough cash to operate? Let's follow the money.

    No harm at all. But I have sufficiently grossed myself out thinking about past potlucks I did partake in, not thinking that a cat owner may not have washed a dish first because THEIR precious kitty NEVER walks the counter or plays in cabinets, so there was no need. 🤢

    People who pretend they have cats who obediently sleep in their beddies all day while their staff are at work earning money to keep cat food on the floor are fooling themselves.

    Whatever rules we have for the cats that they follow while we're home go right out the window when we're gone all day. I know this is true because our very well-trained DOG is a counter-surfer when we aren't home and if she's breaking the rules, there is no way the cats aren't!

    Yeah, I've never seen either of my cats jump on the kitchen counter. I have come home to tiny murderous paw prints on my stove, so...

    THIS. My cats are theoretically not allowed on kitchen counters, but almost daily I wake up having cleaned my stove after cooking dinner the night before and there are cat hairs all over it!! CATS. So we reclean.

    “When there is food on them.” But otherwise, their little litterboxed feet may end up on the counter. And I’m sure you clean well, but there are others who believe their cats are NEVER on the counters so... perhaps they don’t, thinking there’s no reason to? Which is... no.
