More behind the cut


Hot Topic Oscars

Sara said it hit personal to her, because her pretend famous mom pick was Frances McDormand who won, plays her speech about going to a cinema to see all the films represented. Sara is desperate to return to the theatre-going experience. Sunny watched for the fashion. She liked Regina King, Zendaya, the monochromatic scheme of the Black men, Glenn Close is so fun, she knew her stuff, national treasure. In Memoriam, thought the whole show was well done given the pandemic. Joy liked what she saw, fell asleep at some point, liked Frances who dgaf, didn’t think it was that funny, felt gloomy, thought Tom Hanks or Jamie Foxx could’ve been funny raconteurs, outfits stunning, Angela Bassett, Carey Mulligan. Me-again and her dumb hair said blah blah, she didn’t watch. She wanted SBC for Borat to win (the only film she watched, oof).

*Ok I think I like the daisy headband but not with that hairstyle

NY Post water cooler topic. Sara says her social skills have always been rusty, and now she’s not sure how to greet people in her new neighborhood. Joy is fine, if she goes places and they say No vaxx, she leaves, but Yes vaxx, she’s fine. She’s going to keep wearing a mask regardless. Me-again blah blah. Sunny thinks parameters are different now, doesn’t want to shake hands or face kiss hello, may still wear a mask. Joy then wonders if we’re going backwards to being more susceptible to every day germs.

LeVar Burton originally from Roots and then Reading Rainbow, Star Trek The Next Generation, and a whole long list of other projects, is campaigning hard for Jeopardy Host and the internet is hoping that wish comes true! First segment, talks about Star Trek, 250K people signed petition for Burton as host, he won Celebrity Jeopardy back in the day, talks of being a lifelong literacy advocate and has podcast for adults LeVar Burton Reads, tells family history story. Meghan is such a drag, brings up Dr Seuss and cancel culture. Burton schools her and answers well. Sunny is still bitter about losing Celebrity Jeopardy lol, talks about Roots, seen by 130M people when it aired first time in 1977, he’s very eloquent speaking about the evolution of progress.

They talk more about TNG, Whoopi begged LeVar to get her on the show, the inclusivity of the cast when it aired, he won’t be on S2 of Picard. His guest host appearance for Jeopardy airs late July 2021.


Hot Topic MN Attorney General Says Something Dumb

MN AG Keith Ellison said on 60 Minutes Sunday that he ‘felt a little bad for Chauvin’. Egads. Plays clip that shows context, does feel he should’ve been convicted. Unsure if it qualifies as a concrete hate crime because [subliminal response, he’s trash to everyone, not just Black people]. Sunny weighs in as a fellow attorney. 46% of GQP felt it was the wrong verdict, blaming jurors and not corrupt cops and systemic racism. Sara was surprised but talked about his explanation. We have to try not to become what we hate. Me-again said police retirement jumped 75% year over year. Reform necessary. Joy feels Lindsey Graham is appalling, he said there’s no systemic racism, she thinks he gets dumber as he gets older. Explains her viewpoint on systemic racism which isn’t how the GQP try to label it. Whoopi tells her history and how it was affected by systemic racism.

200M Americans have at least one shot, still ding dongs are crying about the myth that children aren’t affected and what a tragedy to wear a mask. Ana has her Friday rant and worries about mixed messaging from CDC. Me-again blah blah and quotes false information. [According to CDC death counts per cause, suicides did not go up in 2020 during pandemic, nor did flu rates go down]. Sara reacted differently, because kids are affected and can still spread it to adults, and her kids wear masks -big deal. People who want their freedoms back, get your shot. More worried about covid and long term effects after initial recovery, than the vaxx. Sunny talks about being a good parent and teaching children facts, stop saying children aren’t affected because they are. Age 10-19 have the state’s highest number of cases.

Because every single member of the Jenner Kardashian West family is an exploitative grifter, Caitlyn Jenner knows she has 0% chance of becoming the next CA Governor but she’s going to /cough/ raise money /cough/ for her campaign just like Kandidate Kanye did. Ana and Sara are wishy washy kinda don’t care but guessing they think she doesn’t have a chance without saying that explicitly. Brad Parscale (and other T45 people) is going to run her campaign, good lord. Sunny calls her out, being a T45 supporter, an infrequent voter, only voted 9 times in last 26 statewide elections, hasn’t even participated in our democracy, woefully unprepared to run for Governor or run anything. Lol TRUTH. Meghan lists more T45 people supporting her. She doesn’t take it seriously, CA isn’t an on the job training. More blah blah. Joy says she should take a seat and let someone qualified run for the seat.

Rep Cori Bush (D-MO) talks about eliminating filibuster, how the GQP abused it for nefarious detrimental effect, DC statehood, criminal-legal reform (lol how she deflects from Me-again’s gotcha question about immigration), St Louis district needing police reform, Green New Deal, climate crisis and effect on marginalized communities, Floyd verdict, Black Live Matters reform

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJFNENSjhxY

Elizabeth Olsen said she quit social media because she was uncomfortable creating a persona. Panel talks about whether they are their authentic selves on social media. Sara says she is who she is but she can see how quitting social media is good for mental health for people who don’t enjoy that type of stranger interaction. Ana says she is who she is and lauds social media for making the world aware of things like what happened to George Floyd and that it’s not for snowflakes so do what you have to do. Meghan ToughGirl™ blah blah. Segment didn’t have time for Sunny.
