Month: January 2024

A teacher has sparked a passionate debate on X after a letter they wrote banning 32 words from being spoken in the classroom was made public. The discussion is centered around whether a teacher has the right to control how their students talk in class.

The letter has been seen nearly 44 million times on X.

“The gibberish some of you choose to use is improper English,” the teacher declared. “There are many ways to articulate what you need to say without using slang. Please know that using slang in an academic setting can diminish your capability to become a successful writer. More often than not the way you speak is the way you will write.”

“This is an academic institution, and you will carry yourself as scholars in my classroom,” the teacher added.

---

According to the letter, if students are caught using any of the 32 banned words in their classroom, they will be assigned to write a short essay explaining why they chose “to use these words in an academic setting.”

Words on the list include bruh, standing on business, on my momma, big motion, gyat, gang gang, on hood and rizz (short for charisma). The teacher also banned the use of the n-word.

Given that much of the slang on the list derives from African American Vernacular English (AAVE), many believed that the word ban was racially motivated. However, the teacher’s race has never been disclosed.

Seems anti black to me

There isn’t a Black child in the public school system who doesn’t know how to code switch. This is targeted.

The list caused a lively debate on X, and many people joked in the comments that they didn’t think they would last a day in the teacher’s class.

First 5 minutes 😂💯

Many people supported the teacher and believed slang is inappropriate in an academic setting, especially in an English class. They appreciated the teacher challenging them to change their word choice based on the setting.

1. Accurate and correct.

2. Sounds like a black teacher trying to help black kids elevate.

— Dre Baldwin | #WorkOnYourGame (@DreAllDay) January 7, 2024

Good teacher. Not an easy stand to take. This will benefit the kids’ education, lives, and careers.

— Town Square Man ☕️ (@TownSquareMan) January 8, 2024

It appears this is a class full of inspiring writers and it also appears this lecturer is rightfully setting standards to improve their chances of success in the real world.

Imagine how people have found a way to demonize standards. SMH

— Tuoyo (@JustTuoyo) January 7, 2024

I like this. Challenging students to articulate themselves without slang is good. They need to know how to write and speak properly.

i never thought i would see the day that teaching kids how to be functional adults would be frowned upon pic.twitter.com/Yb7rPAYXzt

Being able to talk with and without slang and adapt to whatever room or surroundings you’re in is important.

Just ask yourself this, how would feel if you were in court, with your life in the hands of a judge and jury and your lawyer used all of these words and phrases? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/bKTOjTkRDZ

The list also bothered many people who thought the teacher should be able to distinguish between the student’s speech and the work they do in class. For most people, there is a big difference between how they casually speak with peers and how they write in an academic or professional setting.

Many also thought the teacher was overstepping their bounds by trying to control how the students spoke.

She’s on a power trip & and doesn’t value the language of her students. She is more concerned with compliance than learning about her students, because she does not value her students’ identities.

— Alyssa Rose (@AH_Belonging) January 7, 2024

So you as a teacher want to take away the right of speech to students? Why not let them talk how they talk? Dont you as a teacher know how people talk?

You can’t just police their words, slang and lingo and expect them to talk a different way, that isn’t realistic and that’s…

— Mike Hanning (@Mikenaniyoka246) January 8, 2024

Let me write the essay on how the way I choose to speak isn’t the way I’ll write. This teacher needs to vibe out for real.

— streaming on kick (@dabbunny710) January 8, 2024

I get where they’re trying to go with that but I don’t agree with cutting out slang. Language is always evolving and there’s more than one way to speak English. This just seems like power tripping and respectability politics to me 😐

— Brindille (@twig_lalaland) January 7, 2024

One person had a practical solution the teacher could use instead of banning certain words. Instead, they could teach them to dig deeper into their meaning and find words and phrases that have a similar meaning.

As a middle school teacher, I relate to banning bruh. Instead of this draconian response, the teacher is making the words more popular. Instead, she could assign them as vocabulary words, then challenge the students to find synonyms, especially curse words from Shakespeare.

— RobinRadlauer-Cramer (@robradreads) January 21, 2024

Pritay Washington, an expert on childhood education at the Education Development Center, told Newsweek that she believes the students should be allowed to use slang in the classroom because it has an essential function: it helps them feel like they belong in school.

“So much happens in middle and high school beyond the learning of classroom content. Students are developing cognitively, mentally, socially, emotionally and physically,” she told Newsweek. “They are honing their critical thinking skills and learning how to navigate the world around them. The importance of student engagement is critical, and this includes representation. Students’ sense of belonging matters.”

Band Of Brothers devotees, you will want to get ready for Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’ latest World War II-set historical epic, the Masters Of The Air limited series. Apple TV+ has the pair’s newest collaboration that is chock full of up-and-coming actors and a few already decorated stars, including Austin Butler (Elvis, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood) and Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Batman), leading the way.

The series is based upon Donald L. Miller’s book, Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany, and closely follows the “Bloody Hundredth,” i.e. the 100th Bomb Group, while they conduct targeted raids on Germany. They will be exposed to grave danger during daring missions, wrestle with the elements, and above all, try their hardest to get each other home in one piece.

Camaraderie will also be had, but those moments will be few and far between as teammates begin to fall, and replacement troops grow younger and more inexperienced, and the war drags on. Yet the series does not slow down.

When Does Masters Of The Air‘s Second Episode Stream?

Apple TV+ will debut the show on Friday, January 26, 2024 by streaming two upfront episodes. From there, you can expect weekly drops until March 15, 2024.

Get ready to take flight.

Earlier this week, Usher announced the return of his nostalgia-packed festival, Lovers & Friends, bringing both excitement and confusion from fans of turn-of-the-millennium hip-hop and R&B. Both emotions were largely reactions to the same thing: The sheer number of artists listed on the flyer, from headliners Backstreet Boys, Janet Jackson, and Snoop Dogg to the one-hit-wonders hovering near the bottom of the list like Lumidee, J-Kwon, and Iyaz.

On one hand, there wer enough to justify the price of the ticket (and standing up for hours on end) for the millennials who came of age during the 2000s, but on the other, there are so many names, it’s hard to believe that they would all fit in just one day when the festival returns to Las Vegas Festival Grounds on May 4. However, that certainly seems to be what the organizers will attempt to do, as the festival’s flyer only advertises a one-day event.

This reflects the flyer for the original event way back in 2020, when dozens of names were stuffed onto the flyer. However, after the initial confusion about who all was actually booked was cleared up, the festival added a second day, allowing for some adjustments to the lineup, and presumably, more equitable distribution of time slots. However, as with so many other events that year, Lovers & Friends was postponed, then moved to Las Vegas when it finally returned in 2022.

For those last two iterations, it remained a one-day festival, with last year’s concert headlined by Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, and Pitbull. So, it stands to reason that it will continue to be a one-day festival, but as the lineup continues to expand year after year, its fans would almost certainly love to see it expand once again to accommodate all those early-aughts favorites. Check out the full lineup below:

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Jason Kelce made the trip to Buffalo over the weekend to watch his younger brother, Travis, compete for a spot in the AFC Championship Game. Travis and the Chiefs managed to take care of business — they beat the Bills, 27-24, to earn a matchup with the Baltimore Ravens — while Jason put on a show in the stands.

Kansas City’s first touchdown of the game came with about three and a half minutes left in the second quarter, when Patrick Mahomes found his trusty tight end and he strolled into the end zone. While Travis and the Chiefs celebrated on the field, Jason (who did not have a shirt on at this point despite it being January in Buffalo) screamed, then jumped into the stands and chugged a beer with some fans. Unsurprisingly, this came up on the latest edition of the New Heights podcast, where Jason added a fun detail: This was the first time that he and his wife, Kylie, were meeting Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

Much has been made about the relationship between the singer and the Chiefs’ tight end that goes back a few months, but I suppose it makes sense that she hadn’t gotten the chance to meet his older brother until after Jason and the Philadelphia Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs. Anyway, I hope everyone had a great time.

The Daily Show has done the almost impossible, securing Jon Stewart for a (limited) return engagement after the comic left the show in 2015 following a legendary run that transformed late night, comedy, and Washington DC in ways large and small. Who could have seen this coming? What does it all mean?

Well, we’re gonna take a slight bow here and say that we envisioned the surprising scenario playing out in October when Stewart’s run with Apple TV+ and The Problem With… blew up, reportedly over efforts to stifle Stewart and the show’s reporting. At the time, we didn’t think a long-term reunion made sense for myriad reasons, but a short-term reunion did, giving Stewart a powerful platform against the backdrop of an amazing comeback hero narrative while also alleviating Comedy Central’s commitment issues over picking a Trevor Noah replacement. At least for now. So, here we are, Comedy Papa has returned with presents under his arm, but what does it all mean?

Here are a few flash observations on Stewart’s return and what it means for the show, the late night comedy landscape, and perhaps even the 2024 Presidential Election.

Stewart Is Coming Back “Through The 2024 Election”

While the actual election takes place on November 5th, there’s no way this is going to all neatly wrap up in November. So when THR reports that Stewart is coming back through the election, I assume that means the election, the weeks of legal challenges, the vote certification, any attempted insurrections, and whatever ensuing trials follow. Not trying to be glib: short of Biden beating Trump in an undeniably massive electoral drubbing or the latter being bound in a jail cell, this shitshow is gonna run long, and if Stewart is signing up to hold our hand through the worst of it, he better plan on being tied up through January, at least.

Stewart’s Coming Back… On Mondays Only

The one-day-a-week thing makes sense with Stewart coming off of that schedule with The Problem With I do wonder if this means that the Monday shows will be somewhat different than the Tuesday-Thursday shows that will be hosted by the correspondents. As in, will we see that show’s vibe repeated with more longform angles and deeper dives? Time will tell on that, but I also don’t know that I buy the idea that Stewart’s part-time status will hold for long, especially as we get closer to the election. If there are actual debates, is Jon Stewart going to sit on the sidelines while someone else runs point on the episodes that follow? I’m not saying he’s hosting every night as we get closer to the election, but I think there’s a good chance this becomes much more than a one-day-a-week gig for him. Especially since he’s not coming back purely as a hired gun, but as an executive producer as well.

It Was Time

The Daily Show for sure benefited from the rotating lineup of guest hosts, but it was well past time for the show to switch gears and move toward the next stage of this thing. When I spoke with now-former Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. just after he had done his guest host spot, he was talking about the need for the show to have someone in that chair on a consistent basis.

“I’m team host. (Laughs) I get why doing the guest host thing could be cheaper in perpetuity, and could be better ratings in perpetuity, but sooner or later, you’re going to catch the wrong host during the wrong tragedy. And it’s going to be weird.”

There is no way the show could have continued on through the election like this and maintained legitimacy. Credit to showrunner Jennifer Flanz and the entire team for making the show work during the guest host Olympics. There were some definite high moments: Wood Jr’s week, Jordan Klepper’s week, Leslie Jones and Desus Nice did great work and had fun with it. But there were other weeks that fell flat (Al Franken’s week, Charlamagne Tha God’s week) and which seemed over-influenced by the whims of that week’s host instead of operating from a central ethos, sort of like SNL. Again, the producer thing comes up. Stewart is hosting on Mondays, but that EP title might indicate his presence as the provider of that central ethos, or at least someone who will have a seat at the table. This is a good thing.

This Is Great For The Correspondents

The headline is that Stewart is coming back, but correspondents like Dulce Sloan, Klepper, Desi Lydic, Michael Kosta, and Ronny Chieng are going to get a lot of face time leading the show and it’s going to be great for the show and those specific talents. With that, I’d be a little stunned if, when Stewart walks away again, they don’t quickly anoint someone from those ranks to takeover, eschewing yet another guest host derby. On the other hand…

A Year Is A Long Time

It’s hard to forecast out what happens to The Daily Show post Jon part deux. So much can and will happen in a year, but its interesting to think about this as a reset. Is that enough time for the air to clear over Hasan Minhaj’s, what are we calling that, #ExaggerateGate? Certainly, there are more dimensions to that story now than there were when it broke. It would not be surprising if, between then and now, Minhaj releases a new comedy special that shifts the narrative. It would also not be surprising if Roy Wood Jr. makes his way back to the show as a viable host option. I wasn’t shy about proclaiming that it was time for Roy to get the gig (like a week before he stepped away from his role on the show) and every bit of that case still stands… assuming he’d still want it.

Is Jon Stewart Going To Save Democracy?

The short answer is no. No comedian could. No journalist could. No hybrid of those two roles will. When we spoke with Wood Jr. and Klepper a couple of weeks ago, Roy mentioned a great Mike Birbiglia line about people needing to accept the premise for a joke to work. As he pointed out, this country is extremely divided. With that you’re not going to easily change hearts and minds with facts or by exposing and highlighting hypocrisy. 2024 isn’t 2004. We’re inundated by information, confused as to the sourcing and which sources to even believe. We’re tired. We’re wired. And we’re increasingly dug in, our political views woven tightly into our personalities and our emotions.

Maybe you galvanize some people with powerful messaging and stories (No one is better, in the political comedy space than Stewart when it comes to distilling the news and serving back an easy-to-digest message equal parts funny and thought-provoking), switching on their willingness to vote and give a damn. Maybe. But there is no way a comedy news story alters this election significantly (with the possible exception of something getting under Trump’s papyrus-like skin and causing him to spiral). There are limits to Stewart’s power, which is something I think some people lost sight of his first time around.

Okay, Will It Be A Success?

I think the show will be good — the talent (not just Stewart and not just on screen) is too big for it not to be, the experience too vast to not be a factor. Will the show be relevant? That’s a different question. This is the biggest surprise in late night since Leno came back to take the Tonight Show from Conan. People (well, TV critics) are going to be talking about this and it’s going to get people curious to see what this version of the show looks like. But eventually, that interest will fade and it will be about creating moments that can somehow pull people in.

Stewart is going to need to eviscerate a few hollow politicians verbally, he’s gonna have to go bigger than ever when it comes to his messaging and the show’s ambitions when it comes to field pieces. Again, 2024 isn’t 2004. There are so many places where people get their information, so many places where it gets distilled and satirized. Stewart and company will do it best, but will they do it biggest and quickest? It matters, and so time will tell if they’re able to make this huge bet pay off as something more than a nice bit of early aughts nostalgia that makes people feel better than they probably should.

When we become adults with or without children we often realize that there were some things that get left out when our parents were teaching us how to adult. Sometimes it’s because our parents were never taught while other times it’s because they didn’t get around to it. Either way adults end up calling their parents, looking it up or stumbling across it by accident while scrolling social media.

One mom, Cara, who runs the Instagram account Chaos with Cara, did just that and she took to her own social media page to share her discovery so others wouldn’t struggle. Cara experienced what many people experience when using spices from a bottle over a hot stove–the clog. All the spices settle at the top and clog the holes so nothing comes out. A lot of folks just shake harder or turn the bottle back to its bottom and try again experiencing the frustrating clog once more.

---

Cara learned via scrolling on TikTok that if you take that clogged bottle and just twist the plastic piece on top, the spices evenly come out of the holes. No vigorous shaking needed, just a quick twist and you’ve got seasoned food. People in the comments were equally impressed with this new discovery.

“I consider myself an intelligent, educated, corporate professional. Not in any of my 40+ years on this planet did this occur to me for a single second. FML,” one person writes.

“You mean to tell me we been shaking like that for years hurting our arms and we could have doing that. MIND BLOWN,” another person says.

“Are you kidding me?!!!!! And I’m literally seeing this seconds after I just seasoned my chicken the old way thanks for sharing! Had no clue,” someone else questions.

“So that’s why it’s always so twisty, I just thought it was cheap packaging,” one person admits.

Turns out it’s not cheap packaging at all, just smart packaging, though a couple commenters warned that when they first tried this trick they ended up with a pot full of oregano. So twist carefully.

A recent study by the National Center for Education Statistics found that 87% of public schools say the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted students’ socio-emotional development. Respondents have also said there has been a significant increase in student misconduct.

However, a teacher with 24 years of experience in the U.S. and abroad believes we are misplacing blame for this rise in misconduct. In a viral TikTok video with over 480,000 views, Lisa Conselatore claims that the big problem isn’t the pandemic but modern parenting.

---

“The problem is cultural,” Conselatore says. “We have raised children to think that they are absolutely the most important person in any room. They are so special that whatever they want to do, or whatever they think, or whatever they say is the most important thing in that moment.”

@lisaconselatore

#tiredteacher #enough #raisingkids #timetolisten #supportteachers #culturetalk #culturecheck #teachersoftiktok #teachersontiktok #teaching2023belike

“I know your children are special to you. I know that my children are special to me,” she continues. “But none of them are the most special person ever in the room at any time. They’re not. Nobody is because we live in a society and we all have to get along and we all have to respect one another and part of respecting one another is recognizing when you have a contribution to make and when you need to sit there and open your ears. … We don’t have that down. We’ve missed it.”

In the video, Conselatore lays some pretty big blame on America’s parents, but she also offers some simple solutions to improve the situation.

“Teach them when to listen, taking a turn to speak. Speak when it’s appropriate. When you have something to say and. It’s your turn,” she says. “Let’s reevaluate our family cultures, our community cultures, and our larger society cultures. Because of this is not working, not working.”

With the 2024 edition of Dreamville Festival only a couple of months away, fans interested in checking out the J. Cole-fronted North Carolina festival might be wondering whether they still have time to grab their tickets before the lineup is announced and the feeding frenzy inevitably begins.

In some good news for those fans, it doesn’t look like the tickets have sold out just yet. The Dreamville ticketing site still has 2-Day General Admission passes available at $299 (or $309 with a 3D Collectible Credential and custom Dreamville Festival lanyard to go with the wristband). Meanwhile, you can still join a waitlist for the higher-end passes, including GA+, JV VIP, Varsity VIP, and MVP VIP.

When Is Dreamville Festival 2024?

Dreamville Festival will take place on Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7.

Where Is Dreamville Festival 2024?

This year, the festival will be held at Dorothea Dix Park in Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina.

Who Is Headlining Dreamville Festival 2024?

So far, the only confirmed headliner is Nicki Minaj, who revealed her participation as part of her Pink Friday 2 tour launching in March.

When Will The Lineup For Dreamville Festival 2024 Come Out?

In 2023, Dreamville released the lineup in February, so it stands to reason that this year’s lineup will also drop around the same time.

Netflix is your sweetheart. You don’t need to worry about heading out to a crowded restaurant on a made-up holiday, so that you and your beloved can sit there for an outrageous amount of time past your reservation simply to be seated. Oh, did you want to order food, too? Get in line. Or simply order a pizza at home and turn on Netflix. It will be a perfect February 14.

This month, Netflix has plenty arriving in their back library, including Britney Spears’ Crossroads, Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Jake Gyllenhaal in the ring for Southpaw. Additionally, a new season of Love Is Blind will arrive, and oh yes, the new live-action incarnation of Avatar: The Last Airbender is here, too. That should be enough to get you started, and there’s much more below.

Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) Netflix in February.

Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix series streaming 2/22)

Yes, there’s been a live-action adaptation of this IP already. And yes, people overwhelmingly prefer the Nickelodeon animated series, but here is another reimagining that will hopefully make everyone forget about that M. Night Shyamalan project. The setup will be familiar, of course. The story takes place in a world where the four nations (represented by the elements of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air) no longer live in harmony. Fire Nation destroyed the Air Nomads, and one young Air Nomad (Aang) must now ascend to his rightful ruling position and restore peace between the elements and realms. The Fire Nation is very angry, however, so watch out, Aang and friends.

The Tourist: Season 2 (BBC One/Stan series streaming 2/29)

Netflix picked up this title (in the U.S.) after Max streamed the first season (arriving on Netflix as of 2/1). This season, Elliot/”The Man” will travel to Ireland from the unwelcoming Australian Outback after discovering why bad dudes are trying to kill him in violent ways. As it turns out, Elliot was a bad dude, too, but can he make any headway with digging into his past on the Emerald Isle? First, he’ll be drawn into a family feud.

Taylor Tomlinson: Have It All (Netflix comedy special streaming 2/13)

The only current late-night lady host is back with her third Netflix special. The above trailer actually comes from her Quarter-Life Crisis special (with Look At You coming next) and is a great starting point for her self-deprecating, entirely blunt brand of comedy. This time around, Tomlinson discusses anxiety, dream jobs, dream partners, and living the dream. Alright, I invented the final detail, but hopefully, that’s what she’s doing.

American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders (Netflix documentary streaming 2/28)

No trailer exists yet, but look at this doc’s synopsis!

When journalist Danny Casolaro was found dead in a hotel bathtub, police ruled it a suicide. But his family and colleagues believe he may have been murdered for investigating a conspiracy he called “The Octopus” – a hidden organization connected to stolen government spy software, a string of unsolved murders, and some of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century.

On Tuesday night, Abbott Elementary actress Lisa Ann Walter became the latest winner of Celebrity Jeopardy! Congrats! Unfortunately, the win wasn’t a surprise for everyone: As per Entertainment Weekly, ABC accidentally revealed Walter’s win before the final bout aired. And Jeopardy! heads, who can be a fairly prickly bunch, were livid.

The spoiler came towards the beginning of the episode’s broadcast, via a promo for Jimmy Kimmel Tonight! (another ABC show whose title ends with an exclamation point). The ad promised that Walter would be one of the show’s guests. Some Jeopardy! heads put two and two together and surmised that, since she was doing the late-night rounds as a Celebrity Jeopardy! contestant that she probably won. And that’s just what happened.

And so, Jeopardy!, a nice game show for brainiacs that very occasionally gets creatively bad press, came under fire from angry fans on social media.

As for Walter, she innocently posted pictures of her hanging with Kimmel shortly before that show went on air.

In happier news, the show recently got some love from one of its more famous regular viewers: Emma Stone revealed that she would love to go on the show, but not as one of its “celebrity” guests. She wants to do it the hard way, just like everyone else, saying, “I want to earn my stripes.” Good for her (and good for Walter).
