mind you we “scared the boy off” because he developed a reputation for preying on minors in the city. idk what’s so funny about that to you!

I just LOVE to answer this! It’s no one’s fault for an all-white list in a state with the Blackest city in the US and the largest Arab pop outside the Middle East. It’s editors’ fault for making it that way. (The most visible young Black journo was told to leave MI last week btw)

Re: gun ownership, convo is interesting to me because I don’t own one (nor do I have the desire or interest), but I know hellllllla folks who do and they’re the ones you’d least expect. A good question to raise at an NABJ function T O N Y A

My parents gave me a safe biblical name that not only has meaning but would also get me job interviews, but they couldn’t have predicted that I’d likely be the first contact on everyone’s phone. Been getting butt dials/misdials for 20 years with no end in sight 👍🏽

So glad to commission Tatiana Walk-Morris for this story about birthing centers, Black maternal health and of course, Detroit. You wouldn't be surprised to learn that the person who connected us is Aaron Foley 🤠 rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/09/16/its…

Was asked for recs on “nice” Lansing restaurants and wait, Clara’s closed? Troppo rebranded? Where would one go for a white tablecloth dinner aside from Dusty’s Wine Cellar?

I spoke to NY’s leading Haitian-American elected official, who now says the community has plans to immediately campaign in Ohio and beyond

Might be good for the News’ auto critic to tackle, seems to be on a roll lately

Close friends IG in your late 30s/early 40s is just my friends posting pics of their toddlers eating dino nuggets or soft-launching their divorces

(Every member of that family has been susceptible to scams, schemes, misinformation, disinformation, misinterpreted comments and just bad questioning at some point so I’m gonna give my girl just a hint of the benefit of the doubt before I rush to condemn but whew chile…)

Now that the statement is out…someone once married to a DeBarge should know better than to publicly opine on racial identity. Imma still do the Feels So Right hustle at Floods tho

I’d like to publicly apologize for frequently using this photo in old tweets where I described columns or cartoons in The Detroit News as wildly racist, misogynistic or Islamophobic. I didn’t have Nolan’s consent to reuse this image; for that, I’m sorry. Listening and learning.

Ok the JJ thing is a little scary and concerning now

Well…yes? James Couzens is the name of the service drive, John C. Lodge is the freeway; both are named for former mayors. “James Couzens Freeway” exists nowhere on record except this tweet posted three hours ago.

Watching How to Die Alone and the part about aviation employees helping themselves to confiscated items reminds me there’s some TSA lackey out there enjoying my brand new $35 Kiehl’s musk body wash. Maybe I helped them up their grooming game so let it be a blessing I guess

Something about when people make these lists, man.
