Source: SplashNews / Splash News Marlon Wayans Responds To Negative Comments On Post About Gay Daughter It almost goes without saying how much Marlon Wayans loves his kids. The actor/comedian created a whole show “Marlon” about his life as a single dad which ran for two seasons on NBC — so we don’t know why anyone in their right mind would have the nerve to speak a peep negative about his babies — but a couple of bold MF’ers did. Marlon set them fools straight real quick too. And we’re proud of him. View this post on Instagram Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again. A post shared by Marlon Wayans (@marlonwayans) on Jun 2, 2019 at 7:44pm PDT On Sunday Marlon posted this photo of his daughter Amai, 19, with the rainbow sole of her shoe showing along with the caption: Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again. How beautiful is that? Acceptance and support means the world to most children and Marlon was quick to prove himself ready to go above and beyond. Many of his followers flooded his comments with hearts and messages of support, such as this one: every queer kid deserves a parent like this and this one: Wow you’re a great parent!! She’s lucky to have you!! But not every comment was in support of Marlon’s choice to embrace his daughter: Take this guy hating from the sidelines (and not alone either, the comment received over 400 likes): She’s not old enough to understand what that’s really all about. You have the power to change lives Bro, don’t teach her that Rather than delete the comment, Marlon quickly shut down the argument by saying: “She’s 19. She’s who she is until or until she don’t [sic] choose different. Love her for her not what I want her to be.” Beautiful response. Then there was this one, also not alone in his or her ignorance (with nearly 300 likes) who commented: You think if you support her you are good ??? Being a parent is not about saying yes to everything no you need to say yes on the good things only now just one question if you really support her would you give up being a grandfather because of this stupid decision that she made because as last as remember two girls can’t make a baby Marlon addressed this as well, a little more firmly too! “there’s technology and i got the means,” Marlon responded. ” so thank u shallow fu**er. Go hate your own kids.” There was also someone who simply said “D—n unfollow. Sad s—t.” “Bye,” Wayans commented back with a waving hand emoji. We already loved him, but this just added an extra layer of respect due. There are so many people walking around the world with battered and bruised hearts and egos because their parents didn’t show them this kind of unconditional acceptance. Kudos to Marlon for this.

How could it not be, according the folks at the Golden Globes, it’s the very best movie of its genre this year. I swear to God I didn’t photoshop this #SpiderVerse #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/xhTAt5aZTP — Peter Ramsey (@pramsey342) January 7, 2019 Spider-Verse took home the statue for best animated feature and that is building up some serious Oscar talk, but we’ll get to that later. Director Peter Ramsey, a Black man, along with fellow directors Bob Persichetti and Rodney Rothman spoke about the theme of the film and why it’s touching people in such a profound way via THR . “Anyone can wear the mask; everyone is powerful and everyone is necessary, and that is the spirit of the movie,” said Peter Ramsey, who directed with Bob Persichetti and Rodney Rothman, backstage at the Golden Globes. “We all felt deeply that anyone can have this kind of experience and be this kind of hero. The story of Miles Morales was a way to crystallize all of those feelings into one character.” “Our favorite part was finding a voice for Miles Morales, with Shameik Moore, and creating something that could stand up to Peter Parker and be unique and different and separate,” added Persichetti. Source: Gregg DeGuire / Getty Shameik Moore does an incredible job voicing Mile Morales and we’re definitely looking forward to seeing and hearing him more in the future. In some cases the Golden Globe winner can inform the Oscar winner, but as The Week points out: …while the Golden Globes’ track record for predicting the Oscars is mixed at best, the two awards shows have picked the same animated feature nine out of 12 times. Those are bad odds. If you haven’t seen this flick yet, grab your son, daughter, niece, nephew, cousin, momma, daddy, grandmama, your cousin’s “special friend”, the dog, the cat, and the goldfish and take them all to the theater to see it. You’ll love it. Fun for all ages.

Get into her fascinating theory below. [bong rip] [exhale] lobsters made a deal with the devil for conditional immortality and it backfired on them. you cannot change my mind — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 all of Twitter: “would you care to elaborate on that” me: pic.twitter.com/qxmmTLVzrR — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 ok so basically lobsters do not die of old age. the only thing time does to a lobster is make it bigger and bigger, if environmental conditions are good this is because they have a secret molecular trick over all of us senescent rubes: constant production of telomerase — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 this Grade-A Big Boy is massive- 22 lbs, easily 50 years old. but it isn’t even as big as the largest lobster ever caught, in 1977- 44 lbs, estimated at 140 years old pic.twitter.com/Z2dGVuAtdn — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 Telomeres are like shoelace caps on the ends of your chromosomes- a buffer zone, codes for nothing, keeps it from unwraveling look, here’s yours, the little white spots on these human chromosomes how do these things relate to our inevitable decline into death? here’s the deal pic.twitter.com/sD9yvIIHZV — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 It’s one sequence, over and over, for humans: TTAGGG every time your cells divide, they lose a little bit off the end of the telomeres, which fails to be replicated. At birth your telomeres are 11,000 bases long, when you’re old and gray they’re about 4,000 bases long — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 There’s something called the Hayflick limit, and that’s why you and I die When the telomeres reach a critical length, the cells just stop dividing pic.twitter.com/4HAUULd0fN — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 “fuck the Hayflick limit, I do what I want” is the motto of cancer, and the motto of lobsters because they produce heaps of telomerase. telomerase is a really nifty enzyme, it carries its own RNA template to build back the lost ends of the telomeres! pic.twitter.com/gWuIuM6jcZ — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 Humans make telomerase too. But we make less and less as we age. We’re coded to just let senescence and death happen, and a lot of people have a lot of theories why If you’ve got cells that constantly produce shitloads of telomerase and never stop, you’ve got cancer, my friend — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 as a teen I used to like Family Guy (dunk on me, I deserve it lmao) and what’s funny is, in that one episode when high-Stewie asked “what if the only reason we die is because we accept it as an inevitability”, he was kinda right our biology encodes death as an inevitability — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 Death is still an inevitability though, whether our biology encodes a plan for it or not entropy always comes for its due, and that’s what even lobsters must accept — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 lobsters still lose in the very end. Telomerase tricks buy time, they will never experience senescence- the decline towards death- but it still comes at some point that point is typically molting — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 Lobsters never age. they keep growing and growing and growing. but their skeleton is on the outside, and it isn’t exactly flexible. They need to molt and grow a new shell once they outgrow the old one this is a very, very energetically taxing and dangerous affair — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 Lobsters molt the easiest in mid-life. molting casualties are highest in the very young and the very old very young lobsters molt a LOT, because they’re growing a lot- 44 molts in their first year. this leaves them squishy and vulnerable, and is quite energetically taxing — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 An ancient lobster colossus may not have as many predator concerns during a molt, compared to the young’uns (still watch out for sea turtles tho) but the energy costs are what kills. Moving out of an enormous shell takes an enormous effort past a certain point they just can’t — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 at a certain point, the effort of moving out just cannot be mustered by their metabolism. it’s done. when a mega-lobster entirely stops molting, the game is drawing to a close at that point they’re trapped in their shells, which accumulate parasites and bacteria — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 I have not been able to find research on whether it’s disease or simply being squeezed in that kills in the end. I would love to talk to an actual invertebrate biologist on this stuff because it’s so fascinating — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 This research would be incredibly hard to accomplish because you would have to either raise or track a good sample size of 100-200 year old lobsters, which are extremely rare — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 I’ve also heard that some will simply die of exhaustion mid-molt, but lack the data on the relative proportions of all these fates — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 but yeah. it’s quite amusing, if silly and unscientific, to think of it in a poetic sense. It’s like lobsters have made a deal with the devil, and the devil always gets his due — labcoat lesbian @ NYC Pride + AC (@JUNIUS_64) June 21, 2018 Hit the flip for a short Q&A session.
