Rapper Azealia Banks, most famous for her hit song “212,” said she feels “way safer” living in Republican-led Florida than she does in Los Angeles. Banks made her woke-crushing comments in an interview with The Guardian where she hailed her newfound Miami as a place where people “mind their fuckin’ business.” Banks also felt that the media has unfairly maligned Florida, saying that she feels “way safer” in the Sunshine State than in Los Angeles. She also believes that Gov. Ron DeSantis has a practical way of governing. “He’s focused on the basic shit,” she said. “There are elderly people in our country without walkers, who don’t have the money to get a septic tooth pulled. If we’re talking about divvying up healthcare funds, those situations should take precedence to facial feminization surgeries and stuff like that. I mean, I get it – but that’s a cosmetic surgery. Like, does your penis work? Can you pee? You’re not as in trouble as the older woman who can’t afford her … [Read more...] about Rapper Azealia Banks Praises Ron DeSantis: I Feel ‘Way Safer’ in Florida than in Los Angeles

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 “Rebecca Morris: The Ache of Bright” will be on exhibit at the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston starting Friday, Jan. 11. Rebecca Morris is a Los Angeles based abstract painter. This is her first solo U.S. museum show since 2005, and her first show in Texas. “I have always been an artist,” Morris said. “I went through school pretty quickly in the sense that I had my masters at age 25. I knew what I wanted to do.” She noted that she had always been a painter, but decided to work in abstract during graduate school. “Choosing painting felt fluid, it didn’t even feel like a decision … but I had been feeling that working representationally was not for me. It took graduate school to learn and think in the way that felt like it could be mine,” Morris said. The show will feature 10 of Morris’ large-scale paintings, five of them recently completed in … [Read more...] about University of Houston’s Blaffer Art Museum to exhibit Rebecca Morris paintings
Ex-Warrior Matt Barnes hocked loogie on a guy at 49ers-Cowboys, video shows
Podcaster Matt Barnes, a man with a long track record of accusations of relationship violence, spit on his fiancee's ex-husband at Sunday's 49ers -Cowboys game, video shows. In the TMZ video , Barnes hocks a loogie and spits on a man's shoulder before the two men get tangled up. Be warned: The video is kind of gross, as Barnes foams up some spit on his mouth and then nails the guy with saliva over two people trying to separate the pair. Barnes claimed the other man, David Patterson Jr., was the instigator, and he sought a temporary restraining order against Patterson on Tuesday, according to TMZ . Barnes has claimed in court that Patterson threatened to shoot him last year. The 42-year-old Barnes has parlayed a lengthy NBA career into "All The Smoke," a popular podcast with Stephen Jackson. But Barnes is probably best known for driving to his ex-wife's house in Los Angeles to fight then-Knicks coach Derek Fisher in 2015, after Fisher had begun dating Barnes' ex-wife. … [Read more...] about Ex-Warrior Matt Barnes hocked loogie on a guy at 49ers-Cowboys, video shows
Trump impeachment star Adam Schiff announces U.S. Senate run
Rep. Adam Schiff, who played a starring role in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, confirmed Thursday he will seek the California Senate seat held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, his longtime ally. Feinstein’s term ends in 2024, and she has not yet announced whether she plans to seek re-election. She would be 91 on Election Day. Questions about her mental acuity have followed her for more than two years, and her Democratic colleagues told The Chronicle in April 2022 that they believe her memory issues are hindering her ability to do the job. Feinstein told the Los Angeles Times in December that she plans to finish her term, and will announce whether she will run again “probably by spring.” She told Raw Story Wednesday that she doesn’t plan to announce her decision until 2024. When asked about others running for her seat, she said, “oh, I don’t mind it.... The more, the merrier.” A spokesperson for Feinstein said Thursday she “was speaking about the timing of the … [Read more...] about Trump impeachment star Adam Schiff announces U.S. Senate run
