Super Bowl weekend is quickly approaching, which means Super Bowl parties are being planned as we speak. This year’s big game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams will take place in the sweet southern city of Atlanta. Atl-eans already have their set of rules for folks coming from out of state to enjoy the big game. Some of which include:

  • “This is a Black city, White people don’t start your sh**”
  • “We got ‘dancers’ in every club”
  • “We respect our homeless, please call them ‘unc’ or ‘auntie’ respectively”
  • “Nobody eats at the Varsity”

Atlanta natives T.I. and 2 Chainz are a two of the many celebs to post the hilarious meme.

Speaking of rules, when it comes to Super Bowl parties, there are a few dos and don’ts to abide by also. We know the regular party rules, like ‘bring something’ and ‘make enough food for guests’ — but for Millennial parties, the ante is upped a little. You’re so use to attending family parties, now you’re at the age to throw one, or attend one that your friend is having. It’s being an adult while still having a teenage budget. It’s being a good and entertaining host without doing too much and distracting from the real reason everyone is there: the game.

Don’t be like this guy @lppny who tweeted, “How much of a dork would I be if I brought my laptop to the Super Bowl party today? #millennial #reallydorky.” Or @Kileydiesner who wrote, “A millennial super bowl party where we don’t have cable so we all just sit around eating wings and reading the twitter updates on the game.”

Whether you’re hosting or attending, here are a few rules to make you night run much smoother.

‘You’re The Help, My Love’ Mo’Nique Still Stands By Shady Whoopi Goldberg Comments

Mo’Nique Stands By Calling Whoopi Goldberg “The Help”

Mo’Nique still has no regrets about any of the comments she made in the wake of her past scandal.

If you can remember, Mo’Nique was the subject of criticism after she outed Netflix for low balling her on a comedy special. Her alleged “blackballing” by Oprah, Lee Daniels, and Tyler Perry was then brought up and tons of shade, explanations, and comments ensued.

One person in particular who commented on Mo’Nique was Whoopi Goldberg who told her to her face on “The View” that she could’ve “schooled her” before she was allegedly blackballed.

That comment apparently still doesn’t sit well with Mo because she recently told Vulture that Whoopi’s “the help” after three decades in the business.

“When you have a woman saying, ‘I could have schooled you,’ someone would say, ‘What was the schooling going to be?’ When I look at this woman you say is our icon and our legend — she is.”

She continued, “But, how many things has Whoopi Goldberg executive produced? Whoopi Goldberg has always been the help, and I say that humbly. So what is it that you’re going to school me on? I’ve been doing it for almost 30 years.”

Mo’Nique recently stopped E News!’ The Daily Pop and stuck by her “the help” comments that she says weren’t shady. According to her while Whoopi’s “her sister” the comments still stand.

“When people think Whoopi Goldberg and I are in a bad place, we’re not. That’s my sister but when she makes a statement like, ‘I could’ve schooled you.’ Well what you were trying to school me on is how to work for free.”

LMAOOOOOOOO, calling someone “the help” is top tier shade Mo’Nique—but okay, sis.

Do YOU think Mo’Nique was shading Whoopi???

Chilli Explains Why She Muted R. Kelly Years Ago

Chilli says since he married Aaliyah and his alleged sex tape dropped, she for sure knew he deserved JAIL. She also touches on the innocent children he violated, saying “when you’re young that frontal lobe is not there, it’s not developed. The person who is older than you should know better!”

NYC Public Housing Residents Prep Rent Strike Amidst Brutal Heating Conditions

New York City Forced To Pay 2 Billion In Settlements Over The City's Housing Authorities' Multiple Violations

Meanwhile, Government Officials Say A New Initiative Is Coming

It’s cold.

FREEZING.

And yet, some New York City Public Housing (NYCHA) residents still don’t have heat.

Now, plans to go on rent strike are swiftly approaching, according to New York Daily News.

Many NYCHA residents are spending their time at home in freezing temperatures as a polar vortex makes it’s way across the U.S.

“It’s a disaster,” said 76-year-old Bertha Spivey, a resident of NYCHA’s Soundview Houses in the Bronx. “You can’t take showers or do dishes. We have no heat or hot water. If one goes, both go. It happens every winter for last four years.”

Spivey’s neighbor Rachel Jean, 40, said she had to boil water to make it hot and bring some heat into her apartment. “We’re bathing with it,” Jean said. “When the water does come on it’s brown and then it shuts off. I have six kids. We’re just waiting for them to do something.”

Tenants at the Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City are tired of waiting for the government to do something. Certain residents have already started laying the groundwork for a major rent strike, which could force NYCHA to make long-neglected repairs. Almost 70 people assembled at the Queensbridge complex on Monday where they received advice from housing advocates and lawyers.

Back in 2013, tenants of NYCHA’s Lexington Houses in East Harlem threatened the city with a rent strike after having no gas for more than two weeks. NYCHA made the repairs 24 hours later.

“I’m 100% behind a rent strike,” said Brooklyn City Councilman Rafael Espinal Jr., a candidate for public advocate, who showed up at the rent strike strategy session. “If you’re not getting adequate service you have every right to withhold your rent until the work is done.”

A NYCHA spokesman said repair crews arrived at various sites on Wednesday to restore heat. The agency also activated its situation room in Long Island City, Queens to prepare for dangerously low temperatures.

Meanwhile, City Hall is trying to convince federal housing officials and a federal judge that NYC is capable of running its own housing system without any takeover from the Trump administration. Last fall, U.S. District Judge William Pauley rejected a settlement between the city and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), saying the federal government was neglecting its responsibilities to NYCHA.

Both sides have since been discussing ways to address the various issues NYCHA residents face, including heating problems, mold and dangerous levels of lead.

HUD secretary Ben Carson is set to appear in New York on Thursday to make a “huge & historic announcement that will be great news for the residents of @NYCHA,” according to a tweet from Lynne Patton, the head of HUD’s federal housing programs in New Jersey and New York.

We’ll find out if they make impactful moves.

Or else…

They better gear up for that strike.
