Good Morning. I hope that you are enjoying this weekend, fully vaccinated and boosted, with family and friends.
This is the absolute worst part of being a publicist. I can't believe I've had to write this, let alone release the news. Please share your thoughts and memories of Irene. I'll be reading each and every one of them and know she'll be smiling from Heaven. She adored her fans. – JM pic.twitter.com/TsC5BwZ3fh

Woke up to the sad news of Irene Cara passing.๐๐พ๐๐พ๐ช๐ช
The beautiful Irene Cara has sadly passed away at the age of 63.
Irene was an incredibly talented trailblazer, a singer, dancer, self taught pianist, the list goes on.
She also sang 2 Oscar winners, Flashdance…What a Feeling (1983) and the iconic theme to Fame (1980) pic.twitter.com/aSiXAQYiJF— The Sting (@TSting18) November 26, 2022

How many times Iโve listened to โOut Here On My Ownโ.
What a talent.

Rest in power, Irene Cara. One thing I remember her for – along w/ that incredible voice – was how she fought back against her record label (sued and won) & her career was ruined. She was a black artist in the 1980s demanding a fair wage & the powers that be ended her career. pic.twitter.com/BUn1bsW2ZC

my personal evidence of a national white-to-white conversation being conducted behind a white metaphorical wall consists of all the legacy media in white-for-white newsrooms, who are collectively unable to describe an integrated world they have racially separated themselves from

Y’all do realize that conservatives spent years mocking liberals about creating safe spaces for themselves and now those same conservatives want to make Twitter a safe space for white supremacists, bigots and authoritarians

This week, a Russian couple living in Sweden for the past 20 years were arrested, with the husband detained under suspicion of working for the Russian intelligence services. @christogrozev did some digging and made some interesting discoveries about their neighbours in Moscow. https://t.co/0VRnvHKlNt

The Bidens have a more than 40-year-old tradition of spending Thanksgiving on Nantucket.
This year, the family tradition became mostly about keeping the president’s 2-year-old grandson from having a meltdown. https://t.co/QIHZFqqg7h
