Blavity Bulletin

We all are.

1. Black Twitter is a powerful thing. Remember that faux Rihanna and Lupita Nyong'o movie that was making the rounds? It's happening! It's really happening.

2. Gone but not forgotten. On what would have been Kalief Browder's 24th birthday a Bronx street was renamed in his honor.

3. Finally free. Teen Bresha Meadows has accepted a plea deal for the murder of her abusive father. 

4. This is HUGE! Gina Prince-Bythewood (Fox's Shots Fired) is set to direct a Spider-Man spinoff centering on Silver Sable and Black Cat. (Shadow and Act)

5. Try not to cry. Watch the touching way Bowie State University honored the late Richard Collins III at its commencement.

6. Somebody come and get Ben Carson. His outlook on poverty is both insensitive and ridiculous.

7. Now Playing on Blavity TV. On this week's #S4MBlerds, Ira proves that hip-hop and comics go together like peanut butter and jelly. Just how powerful could your favorite rapper be?

8. Put a fork in it... Fans of the retro hip-hop drama The Get Down are not happy. Netflix has canceled the series and people are seriously disappointed.

9. In bad taste. Someone at a D.C. restaurant thought it was a good idea to create a drink called "Pill Cosby."

10. D-R-A-M-A. Watch the Bordelons embrace their legacy in the first full trailer for Queen Sugar Season 2 (Shadow and Act)
