PETTY AF<\/strong> \u201cAre we going to need a congressional bouncer to keep Trump from delivering the State of the Union in the House chamber next week?\u201d Trevor Noah asks.<\/p>\n

PRESIDENT\u2019S BLEND<\/strong> Former Starbucks\u2019 Howard Schultz told 60 Minutes<\/em>: \u201cI am seriously thinking of running for president \u2026 I am not \u2026 in bed with a party,\u201d says Schultz, who is considering running as a \u201ccentrist independent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schultz would be America\u2019s first Jewish President if elected.<\/p>\n

Black Panther<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is first comic book movie to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and, as such, the box office phenom will return to theaters for a one-week run next month. Better yet? In honor of Black History Month, all the screenings will be free. They kick off this Friday, February 1, and roll on through February 7 at 250 AMC locations throughout the country. In conjunction with the announcement, Disney has also revealed that it will donate a $1.5 million grant to the United Negro College Fund.<\/p>\n

Get more information on the screenings\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WHERE ELDERS ARE ALLIES<\/strong> LGBT Navajos Discover Unexpected Champions: Their Grandparents \u201cIt\u2019s not unusual that Navajo grandparents are accepting of being LGBT while parents are not. Historians say federally run boarding schools and other assimilation tactics taught a generation of Navajos that same-sex<\/a> relationships are wrong. says NPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are seeing clearly the aftereffects of what colonialism can look like and how it really shifted our values as Navajo people,\u201d Nelson says. \u201cWhereas at the time, if you were LGBTQ and growing up in Navajo traditional families, families celebrated that fact. They said that we were sacred. They said that we had sacred roles.\u201d<\/p>\n

But returning to understandings that predate colonialism has helped the families of LGBT Navajos. Traditionalists believe that the \u201ctwo spirited,\u201d as they\u2019re sometimes called, are powerful and that not all humans can be classified as male<\/a> or female<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Navajo historian Jennifer Denetdale says the Din\u00e9 creation story includes a\u00a0n\u00e1dleeh\u00ed.<\/em>\u201cToday we take the\u00a0n\u00e1dleeh\u00ed<\/em>\u00a0as a being who was what we would call<\/a> an intersex person today, meaning that this is a person who has sexual organs of the male<\/a> and the female<\/a> and is considered to be a third gender in Navajo society,\u201d Denetdale says.<\/p>\n

When the first man<\/a> and the first woman<\/a> weren\u2019t getting along, it was the\u00a0n\u00e1dleeh\u00ed\u00a0<\/em>who intervened.\u201d<\/p>\n

GOTHAM ORNITHOLOGY<\/strong> Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is the upcoming DC film that places Arkham\u2019s most adorable psychotic psychiatrist in the centre of the action. DC and Warner Bros. have been smart enough to know that\u00a0Margot Robbie\u2019s performance<\/a> is one of the things about the DCEU that unequivocally worked and deserves to be given room to flourish. With Robbie also producing and Cathy Yan directing, the film has been billed as a vibrant heist movie but little else is known. It is assumed that the story will follow Harley as she joins up with the most famous members of the Birds of Prey \u2013 Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya \u2013 to save the young Cassandra Cain from the crime lord Black Mask. A very brief sneak peek at the cast offers the shortest glimpses of\u00a0Mary Elizabeth Winstead<\/a>\u00a0as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Rosie Perez as Renee, Ewan McGregor as Black Mask, Chris Messina and his new bleach blonde hair as Victor Zsasz, and of course, more Harley Quinn. <\/p>\n

Now she\u2019s dressed in tinsel and ready for Coachella.<\/p>\n

POSITIVELY GEEKY \u00a0<\/strong>Josh Robbins over at I\u2019m Still Josh <\/a><\/em>introduces us to \u201cthe most unique HIV advocacy online is a 4 hour show called: Jason Is A Social Scientist<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s like if Adult Swim did a show about HIV.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\u201cPeople often wonder what my show is about\u2026the premise is deceptively simple\u2026I take my HIV medication live<\/a> on the book of face in front of friends, family, and strangers\u2026I embrace stigma of all kinds including substance use mental illness and\u00a0polyamory\u2026hopefully dispelling ignorance and finding support.<\/p>\n

If I were to have people take only one thing away from this show\u2026then it would be the knowledge that HIV is preventable\u2026if you are HIV negative there is a once a day pill that works like a highly effective chemical\u00a0condom it is called #PrEP or preexposure protocol [sic]\u2026and for people who are HIV+ treatment is prevention\u2026by taking my medication everyday and maintaining an undetectable viral load\u2026I am keeping myself and the people around me healthy\u2026 undetectable equals untransmissible #UequalsU\u2026you could fuck<\/a> me bareback all day long and never catch HIV from me\u2026the future is now and it is 1969\u2026free love baby RAmen\u201d<\/p>\n

IMPRESARIO<\/strong>Pink<\/a>\u2018s smash hit 2001 single\u00a0\u201cGet The Party Started\u201d<\/em>\u00a0was originally intended for a different singer:\u00a0Madonna<\/a>. Linda Perry<\/a>, the song\u2019s writer and producer, revealed the surprising news in an interview with\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Get the Party Started\u2019 wa<\/a>s just me figuring out what all this stuff does. I came up with that beat, laid it down, found all these weird chords and sounds and put the horns\u2026I picked up a microphone and said, \u2018I\u2019m just going to say every clich\u00e9d line I can think of.\u2019 And I came up with, \u2018Get the party started on a Saturday night\u2019 and wrote a bunch of stuff down. I called up my manager afterwards and said, \u2018I just wrote a damn hit.\u2019 It was too easy,\u201d\u00a0Linda\u00a0explained of the making of the song.<\/p>\n

A post shared by Madonna<\/a> (@madonna) on

\u201cI sent it to\u00a0Madonna\u00a0and she passed, but a week later, Alecia [a.k.a.\u00a0Pink] called. She left me this really crazy message how she would come find me if I didn\u2019t call<\/a> her back. I saw what she looked like \u2014 she was a bling-bling girl<\/a> \u2014 and I said, \u2018I think you have the wrong\u00a0Linda Perry.\u2019 She\u2019s like, \u2018Is this the\u00a0Linda Perry\u00a0who sang \u2018Dear Mister President\u2019 in\u00a04 Non Blondes?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Yeah.\u2019 She\u2019s like, \u2018Well, I have the right person.\u2019 I had just written \u2018Get the Party Started\u2019 and I go, \u2018Well, I\u2019ve got something I wrote last week,\u2019 and sent it to her. I guess she sent it to\u00a0LA Reid<\/a>\u00a0and they said, \u2018Okay we have our first single.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

REMEMBER THE GREATEST GENERATION? <\/strong>Tom Brokaw apologized for his comments about assimilation & \u201cbrown grandbabie<\/a>s.\u201d<\/p>\n

BURNING QUESTIONS \u00a0\u201c<\/strong>Given Russian interference in the last U.S. presidential election, and given that Bernie Sanders\u2019 campaign\u00a0was a target of that meddling<\/em><\/a>, one might imagine that Sanders would have spent the last two years leading the charge to prevent further election interference by Russia and\/or any other foreign adversaries.\u00a0He is a sitting Senator, after all. He has the power to introduce legislation to support federal election integrity measures.\u00a0
And he has way more visibility than the average senator to call<\/a> attention to and generate interest in and rally support for such legislation\u201d says Melissa McEwan.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
