I was yesterday years old when I found out that our beloved TV pastor, Rev. Ruben Gregory from Amen (Clifton Davis) was the one who wrote the Jackson 5's second biggest hit, "Never Can Say Goodbye. "

James Earl Jones is trending. Can Twitter please mark people who trend & haven’t died as “safe” or something?! We gotta do this every time? 😂

Not sure how much you follow the case, but there are a number of touchpoint dealing with the former president. For example, Pras reportedly received $20 million to facilitate a photo with Barack Obama and Malaysian tycoon Jho Low. All the stories are here: allhiphop.com/tag/pras/

My takeaway from the conversations we've ben having in the Prince community - yes that is a thing - is that at least the Prince and MJ communities care enough about those artists to debate. But what of the legacies of Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, etc.

I'll bet few have listened extremely closely to the internal production arrangement of @ThaAlkaholiks' "Daaam!" (1995). It's intricate and always shifting. E-@Swiftzilla has yet to get the credit he deserves as a producer. youtube.com/watch?v=JcRlmwc2… @j_ro_alkaholiks @tashalkaholiks

Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate. He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter.

“certain audience” “non-political” just shut the fuck up and go spend all that money members of certain audiences made you

Phil Jackson says he hasn’t watched the NBA since the Bubble: “They even had slogans on the floor and the baseline. It was trying… to bring a certain audience to the game, and they didn't know it was turning other people off. People want to see sports as non-political.”

Clarence Thomas has reported between $50,000 and $100,000 in annual income from a real estate company in recent years. There’s just one problem. The company went out of business in 2006. 🧐 washingtonpost.com/investiga…

Clarence Thomas has for years claimed income from a defunct real estate firm

The misstatements are part of a pattern that has raised questions about how the justice views his obligation to report details about his finances to the public.

washingtonpost.com
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Per the article, Ginger, Ltd., Partnership was replaced by Ginger Holdings, LLC in 2006 (a company that’s still in operation). The author concedes that Justice Thomas claiming income from the previous company name may be a paperwork error. washingtonpost.com/investigations…

NEW: Billionaire Harlan Crow bought property from Clarence Thomas in undisclosed real estate deal. Crow netted two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ elderly mother was living. It’s unclear if he paid fair market value. propublica.org/article/clare… w/ @js_kaplan @Amierjeski

Billionaire Harlan Crow Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.

The transaction is the first known instance of money flowing from Crow to the Supreme Court justice. The sale netted the GOP megadonor two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ mother was living.

This week will mark 5 months since #Trump announced that he will run for president in 2024. Since then he's been indicted, arrested and brought up on additional charges. Not exactly the best few months to launch another losing campaign
