TIL that Joni Mitchell frequently wore blackface. Yiiiiikes. And like...even weirder, was method acting? songwriting? and took on the persona for a long time. Fucking weird and double yikes Joni.

I really need Chris to not knowingly be dating a nazi. I am waiting to see if he gets dragged here like TS did. lol. It's the blinds. I think we can keep our pitchforks down until there is evidence provided by someone who does not make up things on the internet.

Though, I do like the weird blinds.

March 27, 2023 Other than probably the alleged GOAT quarterback and the closeted one, no athlete has more blinds about them than this NFL player. Most of the items talk about who he is partying with, rather than the partying itself. A few years ago, the NFL started following the player. They hired security who would try and follow him when they knew in advance that he was going out, especially when he was going out with one person in particular. That person has a long history of violent crimes, including guns, and trafficking, both human and weapons. Because he is high profile and rich, he has managed to avoid jail time for a lot of his crimes. The list of crimes the NFL knows about this person is way more than any local or federal law enforcement knows. The issue is how much the player knows and how much the player has been involved with what has been going on. Did the player participate in any of the crimes? These are some truly horrific things the other person has been involved in and everyone fears there is a ticking time bomb with the player. Most teams don't want to take that chance. Lamar Jackson The NFL covers up for the shitty people in their organization. I am just shocked. SHOCKED.

Also, lol at me dragging Joni and not following my own advice that it's all made up. But it's so weird, I feel like it's true.

I'm boycotting Joni Mitchell. But also going to buy that album in real life because I want to know more.

I'm wondering if she was possibly not in her right mind if it was consuming her identity. Mental illness or drugs. Not to excuse it. More like that's just very very weird.

Oh, I see. She felt Black on the inside. The Black music historians in that article say all that needs to be said.

February 17, 2023 The alliterate one had lunch with the person who decides the replacement for certain very very high profile positions. Coming so close on the heels of an announcement seems more than a coincidence. Meghan Markle/Gavin Newsom/Dianne Feinstein’s California Senate Seat I am dying that Enty is trying to imply MM is jonesing for a Senate seat. I rolled my eyes so hard at this one lol

May 4, 2023 With all the hype this award season about a certain actor and a movie in which he appeared so long ago, there was a family who tried to use the press and attention to find answers. Back when the movie was filmed, this family had a young boy and a young girl who filmed village scenes. Only the young boy ended up with a credit. The young girl did not and can barely be seen in one still frame. The boy had done a few earlier roles when he was even younger, but this was by far his biggest appearance. At some point during the filming, the boy and girl were filming a scene that would end up in the movie. The shoot that day finished in the evening after dark. There was an uncle who was waiting to take the kids back home. He had done so for the entirety of the shoot in this two name country. This time though, they disappeared. There was no sign of them. The uncle went and asked every crew member he could find. They all said they didn't know the location of the kids or had not seen them or maybe they had seen them, but hadn't seen them in a while. They were just gone. He searched for hours. There were no cell phones back then and had no idea where they had gone. He had seen them at lunch. The next day he brought the entire family of the kids and they searched and asked everyone until they were kicked off the set because the kids were just kids, but this was a huge Hollywood production. The family was then banned from the set, so the family started hanging out at the crew hotel and got the police involved. Then suddenly, the police stopped helping and the family was banned from the hotel. This year, a journalist tried to ask several members of the cast who were at that shoot. That movie got a lot of attention this year. To a person, they all said they either didn't remember it or it was so long ago, they forgot the details. Ke Huy Quan/Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom/Sri Lanka This one is sad.

I’m glad you all circled back to Joni in blackface, because I have definitely been skimming and totally missed it.

I don’t have the stamina for those long blinds anymore in my old age. 👵 The popular science one almost ruined them for me. Seriously, they need to start shortening them or become choosier about what they put out. We are going to miss blackface reading through a bunch of long winded blinds about people we’ve never heard of if they didn’t shape up.
