the budget baller

The dance battles in Fast Forward are pure 80s chaos—think flips, pelvic thrusts, and one crew literally bringing nunchucks to a pop-lock fight. A group of Ohio teens show up in NYC, get wrecked in their first club battle, train like it’s Rocky IV, then come back with vengeance, spandex, and soul. Directed by SIDNEY POITIER, shot like a Broadway showdown. It’s You Got Served if it had a perm and a cassette deck. #FastForward #DanceBattleMadness #80sCinema #PopLockPray #NunchucksInTheClub #SidneyPoitierDirectedThis #onthisday

Just got removed as a TikTok LIVE mod… which is wild considering I never asked, never cared, and didn’t even know I was one. But go off! Hope your 6 viewers and broken ring light survive without my unpaid labor. I’ll try to move on somehow. #Raheem #Juice #Throwback #90s #OmarEpps #K#KhalilKainT#TikTokLIVEModFired #DigitalDelusion #YouCanKeepIt #NotAModNotAMoment #SocialMediaJokes #LOLBye #ClownEnergy #UnpaidInternVibes #StayMessy

Sammy Sosa really was the prototype for “Latinos for Trump” …..bleached himself into oblivion thinking whiteness would unlock legacy. Charles Barkley tried to warn him: “You’re not gonna make the Hall of Fame by going white.” Same goes for voting Trump, papi. Ain’t no American Dream at Mar-a-Lago, just unpaid golf carts and broken promises. #SammySosa #LatinosForTrump #CharlesBarkleyWasRight #BleachAndDelusion #MLB #Politics #CubanMissedleCrisis

Furio at Jean-Philippe’s door: the best non-verbal moment in The Sopranos. No words needed; his silence says it all. When JP opens that door and sees him, you feel the doom. Two seconds of pure, wordless storytelling. Iconic. #TheSopranos #Furio #HBOClassic #TVGold #MafiaMoments #SopranosHumor #SilentButDeadly #TonySoprano #MobLife #JeanPhilippe #TVHistory #IconicScenes #HBO #SopranosSunday #Cinematic

Tortas Manantial really woke up and chose assimilation. Imagine selling tacos and tortas to brown folks all day just to turn around and publicly cape for the guy who called us rapists and criminals. Now they’re shocked the community said bet and Yelp had to shut down the reviews. Ain’t no torta worth betrayal, familia. You wanna play politics? Then don’t cry when the block votes with their wallets. #TortasParaTrump #PhoenixPolitics #LatinosForLatinos #SupportLocalNotSellouts

Local media leaving Browns minicamp like: “Okay, Shedeur Sanders might really be HIM.” Poise, precision, leadership…he’s commanding the field like a vet. This ain’t just Coach Prime’s son, this is Cleveland’s QB of the future in the making. We’ll see if he gets a shot with the Browns. #ShedeurSanders #Browns #ClevelandBrowns #DawgPound #NFLMiniCamp #QB1 #CoachPrime #RookieWatch #FootballSeason #ClevelandSports #NFLYoungStars #NextUp #TrainingCamp #Gridiron #BrownsNation #FutureIsNow #NFL #RookieQB #BrownsCamp #Clevela

Nike’s 1997 Zoom Air campaign really said, “What if speed was a problem?” and handed it straight to Jan Hooks. The queen of deadpan played a therapist leading a support group for the world’s fastest humans—Michael Johnson, Gail Devers, Gary Payton, Kenny Lofton, and Peyton Manning—who all needed help coping with their… excessive quickness. “It’s okay to be fast,” she reassured them. Peak 90s absurdity. Peak Nike. And honestly? Still one of the funniest sports ads ever made. #NikeZoomAir #JanHooks #ThrowbackNike #SpeedProblems #90sAds #NikeNostalgia #GailDevers #MichaelJohnson #GaryPayton #KennyLofton #PeytonManning #TooFast #NikeTherapy

I dare you not to smile!

Just a misunderstood skincare enthusiast lookin’ for a size 14 with a great personality. Likes lotion, quiet nights in the basement, and tucking in my feelings (and everything else). Must love dogs… well, a dog.” #PutTheLotionInTheCart #SwipeAtYourOwnRisk #SerialButMakeItSingle

Actually….HE doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing! #noaccess

I’ve agreed with Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Joe Rogan this week. Tucker’s anti-war. MTG’s yelling about wasted money on airstrikes. Gotta be AI…..gotta be lol! Rogan’s accidentally making sense between conspiracy tangents. Am I tripping? #liberallogic #MAGAmentia #AntiWarPipeline #SomebodyUnplugMe #TuckerCarlson #MarjorieTaylorGreene #JoeRogan #whatthehelly

Jimmy doesn’t look youthful, he looks ridiculous. Give it up uncle! #jimjones #summerjam

Fast Forward is what happens when eight kids from Ohio try to conquer NYC with dance moves, determination, and a questionable amount of pelvic thrusting. They lose a club battle so bad it could’ve been a hate crime then show up weeks later with nunchucks, flips, and fire in their leg warmers. It’s Step Up if it was directed by Sidney Poitier and sponsored by Jazzercise. #FastForward #DanceBattleDrama #80sBreakdanceCinema #SidneyPoitierDirectedThis #NunchucksAndThrust #onthisday
