RIP #ChadwickBoseman
Gone way too soon. Rare leading man with serious acting chops to match that simmering charisma. 13 movies in 7 years! When he unleashed upon us (#GetOnUp & #MessageFromTheKing), wow, he gave a tantalising glimpse of the range to come. Never to be forgotten.

PS. #Blazers #Melo...not done yet!

Heard about him growing him... always "Chetan-Chauhan," double-barreled, legendary name, conjured up bygone (Golden? no, every Indian cricket era is Golden!) era. Plus, didn't he manage that famous 2001 Test series vs Australia? Big part of our sports history.

LeBron’s the Real MVP
Dear #NBA voters,
Look, we all love hip new indie #Giannis...
...but don't take studio-backed greatness for granted (it's why #Spielberg & #Scorsese don't have more #Oscars).
It's not a "lifetime achievement" veteran-#Oscar type award...
...this year #LeBron *deserves* #MVP!

A headspinning truth-is-stranger-than-fiction-way-stranger documentary. If "The Dog" weren't a real person, you'd have to make him up! Kudos to the documentarians for digging at the darkness beneath, and that eye-opening inside look at early gay rights activism.
