Lady A Sings The Blues: Lady Antebellum’s New Name Was Already Taken By A Black Blues Singer
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ spiritual wedding band, Lady Antebellum, just made the decision to remove the spiritual confederate flag from their name and have rebranded themselves as Lady A after “having many honest conversations with some of our closest Black friends.” However, according to Rolling Stone, Lady Antebellum’s best Black friends failed to recommend they Google Lady A before changing everything “on social media and distribution platforms including Spotify and Apple Music, and the group’s website,” because it turns out the name was already being used by Anita White, a Black blues singer from Seattle who has been performing and recording under the name Lady A for over 20 years. If this is not an occasion for an Issa Rae “deep, heavy, negro spiritual sigh,” I don’t know what is.
Open Post: Hosted By The Time That Sharon Stone Was Struck By Lightning
62-year-old Sharon Stone was on the podcast Films To Be Buried With to talk about her long, illustrious career ad movies. But fuck all that! Who wants to know about her “art” when she also talked about that time she got struck by lightning. Hmmm…why do I have a feeling that Sharon was hit by lightning after the komodo dragon community finally got revenge on her by busting out a lighting bolt-summoning dance on her?
Elmer Fudd And Yosemite Sam Won’t Have Their Guns In The New “Looney Tunes” Reboot
When I think of Looney Tunes, I think of ridiculous violence and grisly “how could a little coyote survive that?” injuries. Classic gags like Acme brand TNT, anvils and boulders dropping on heads, and guns backfiring and exploding into faces. But you can forget about that last one, because the new Looney Tunes reboot on HBO Max is “not doing guns”. That’s right – famously trigger-happy gun nuts Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam have been stripped of their firearms. What about their (wait for me to Google…) Second Amendment rights?!
Open Post: Hosted By This Cat’s Sneezing Attack
Today in wet pussy news, here’s a video of a little grey cat having one helluva sneezing attack and serving their best impression of an excited squirrel. Try to contain your rage when the human filming fails to follow up with a “gesundheit” or “bless you.” Some people, I swear to God…
Tavi Gevinson Called Out Karlie Kloss For Not Speaking Up About Her In-Laws
If this is your first real introduction to Tavi Gevinson, then here’s what you need to know. She’s a 24-year-old blogger-turned-magazine editor-turned-actress-turned aggrivating pebble in Karlie Kloss’ size 9 Dior heels. Tavi’s personal brand includes calling out bullshit where she sees it on social media, and she recently caught a whiff of something stinky and fetid coming from Karlie’s attempt at a Black Lives Matter post. According to Tavi, Karlie has a lot of “nerve” preaching a message of anti-racism when she has yet to denounce the politics of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
K-Pop Stan Accounts Hijacked #WhiteLivesMatter To Fight Racism
The K-pop stans said “Nagajusaeyo” to white supremacy the other day as they blotted out the White Lives Matter hashtag with their own personal brand of anarchy! Instead of finding white-power propaganda, the Jungkook-stans treated the Aryan-stans to some actual culture, filling the hashtag with GIFs and memes. Chukkhae! Daebak!
