โ€“ Bots, Birthdays, and Black Joy ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿค–๐ŸŽ‰

This week on The Shade Parade, Viki Villainess and Ari Kiki are back to shake tables, flip wigs, and snatch edges, because honey, thereโ€™s A LOT going on.

๐Ÿง  First up, we ask the important question: Why does AI always sound like a passive-aggressive white man? Seriously, who programmed this microaggression machine? #WhiteManInTheMachine

๐ŸŒˆ We give you a final Pride Month recap, share our Juneteenth celebration plans, and reflect on the power of Black Queer joy in the face of political nonsense. #Juneteenth2025 #BlackAndProud

๐ŸŽ‚ Meanwhile, the Orange Dictator turned 79 and even his birthday flopped harder than his presidency. No one showed up, the cake was dry, and WW3 is apparently trending. Yay! ๐Ÿ™ƒ #TrumpFlop #WW3

๐ŸŽฅ The girls are gagged because Noahโ€™s Arc: The Movie premieres June 20th and WE ๐Ÿ‘ WILL ๐Ÿ‘ BE ๐Ÿ‘ WATCHING! Your faves are back, and the drama is moist! #NoahsArcTheMovie

๐Ÿ‘€ Tyler Perry finds himself caught up in a scandal with a male actor, and you know weโ€™ve got thoughts, speculation, and shady commentary for days. #TylerPerryTea

๐Ÿ’ƒ Plus a special visit from Myster E Mel Kiki and their partner Kay brings even more energy into the studio. Itโ€™s giving: chaotic good with a twist of tequila.

๐Ÿšจ And of course, we talk about the horrendous ICE raids still devastating immigrant communities, and the rising wave of No Kings protests demanding real change.

Tune in for laughs, truth, celebration, and all the side-eyes you can handle. Itโ€™s messy. Itโ€™s magical. Itโ€™s The Shade Parade.
