What does D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai’s red handprint mean?

The Reservation Dogs actor walked the red carpet at the Emmys with a red handprint over his mouth – a symbol of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement.

According to Native Hope, the red handprint “stands for all the missing sisters whose voices are not heard. It stands for the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis.” The site added that it symbolizes “the oppression and subjugation of Native women who are now rising up to say #NoMoreStolenSisters.”

Mocking the nature of Martha’s texts in the show, Dan joked that he’d received eerily similar messages from his father.

“Walter O’Keefe joke too mean? sent from my iphon,” was another while a third read: “Best ramen near me.”

“I think you were just trying to Google that,” Dan joked. “There’s 59,000 more where those came from,” he added, referencing the number of texts the real Martha allegedly sent Richard Gadd.

Well, this is looking like a theme of the night. After Selena Gomez, Candice Bergen is the next to mock Republican Vice President nominee JD Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment.

Speaking about her classic sitcom Murphy Brown, Bergen said: “In one classic moment, my character was attacked by VP Dan Quayle when Murphy was pregnant and he decided to attack my character for being a single mother. Today a candidate would never attack a single mother so as they say, my work here is done. Meow.”

Yes chef, after 12 long months of waiting, the most wholesome yet panic attack-inducing show on television,The Bear, is finally back for season three.

A year ago, we left Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) locked in The Bear’s freezer, pounding on the door in rage, while Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) thrived on the other side.

It was not a good day at work.
