🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.

Hoda Kotb reveals an important lesson she learned after hearing a story from Sheryl Lee Ralph, and how important it is to know what you hold in your heart and keep moving forward
“Three days ago, I did an interview with Sheryl Lee Ralph, who you guys know from Abbott Elementary. She won her Emmy at 60-something. She had all these blessings late in her career — her first Emmy at 60-something. And she said, ‘I wanna tell you something that happened to me.’ And I said, ‘Okay.’
She goes, ‘Early in my career, Robert De Niro said to me, “You’re a magnificent actress. It’s too bad that there are no roles for you, and you’re really gonna have to work super hard. But it’s kind of a shame that that’s the way it is. You’re gonna have to really plant the flag.”’
And I said, ‘Oh God, that’s...’
She goes, ‘Did you hear what I said?’
I said, ‘Yeah.’
She said, ‘Robert De Niro said I’m a magnificent actress.’ That was her choice. Out of the whole sentence, she chose that part. And that’s why, at age 60-whatever, she got an Emmy. She has her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s a choice. Everything’s a choice."

This works.
EXCLUSIVE: #QuintaBrunson will develop and star as Betty Boop in a feature film adaptation:
• The film will trace the origin and evolution of Betty Boop through the perspective of her creator, Max Fleischer, examining the relationship between the artist and his creation as he navigates the creative and commercial pressures of building one of the world’s first animated icons, particularly as that icon begins to take on a life of its own
• Brunson’s company, Fifth Chance Productions, has partnered with Fleischer’s grandson, Mark Fleischer, and Fleischer Studios on the project

I encourage anyone who considers themselves a basketball purist to watch Ausar on defense for at least three possessions. He is a one-man disruption.
I think he’s already the best perimeter defender in the NBA. The Pistons anchored their run in the 2000s behind Ben Wallace. He is about to be that defensive anchor for this iteration of the Pistons.
