The UK insurance market, Lloyd’s of London, says they are deeply sorry for their role in the slave trade. That’s it? Sorry?! Also, after over 100 days, the actors’ strike is over. We’ll highlight some of the terms of the deal. Plus, the Big Up/Let Down… The Big Up goes to a flight attendant, and the Let Down goes to some teeth… I’ll explain in a minute!

 

(26:00) – Lloyd’s of London, the giant U.K. insurance and reinsurance market founded in 1688, has apologized for its historic link to slavery. “We are deeply sorry for the Lloyd’s market’s participation in the transatlantic slave trade. It is part of our shared history that caused enormous suffering and continues to have a negative impact on Black and ethnically diverse communities today.” Lloyd’s announced steps to make amends, including investing the equivalent of $48.8 million and introducing comprehensive initiatives to tackle inequality toward Black and ethnically diverse individuals.

 

(30:08) – After over 100 days of picketing, SAG-AFTRA struck a new tentative deal with Hollywood’s major studios — effectively ending the actors’ strike. The 118-day strike was one of the longest labor outages in Hollywood history. Among the studio heads who came to the negotiating table during the SAG strike were Bob Iger of Disney, Donna Langley of NBCUniversal Studio Group, Ted Sarandos of Netflix, and David Zaslav of Warner Bros. Discovery.

 

(35:47) – The Big Up/Let Down:

 

Big Up – In a viral post, a Grammy-nominated gospel singer named Bobbi Storm went head-to-head with a flight attendant after she wanted to serenade the whole flight with a song, and he shut her all the way down!!!! Big Up – To this flight attendant for not taking her to Jesus for all this racket. This was completely out of order! People are trying to sleep! What if you woke somebody’s baby up?! You can’t just hijack the plane with your voice. Even if it is pretty. She was trying to give herself the glory, not Jesus! Also, big up to the folks with noise-canceling headphones who heard none of this! Let Down: Rapper and toxic partner in crime to Blueface, Chrisean Rock, joined Tamar Braxton onstage at a concert this past weekend but she didn’t leave before allegedly assaulting, James Wright, Tamar’s stage hand (famous for his Patti Pies review). She supposedly caused a severe nosebleed and chipped his tooth. The letdown goes to…. these weak ass 2023 teeth!
