the comments on literally everything about this series of taskmaster are actually appalling. i'm not a particular fan of rosie jones myself, not that i dislike her at all i just don't know her stuff that well. but I thought she was really good on this first episode! the "i think i got a bit of umbilical cord" had me in tears. And in general like... you don't have to find her funny but there have been plenty of contestants on taskmaster who aren't that funny either and it's really telling that this is the person everyone thinks is going to "ruin taskmaster." be so fr. alex and greg are good at their jobs and they bring out the humour in all contestants.
"the other contestants must be so mad that nobody's going to watch this series" lmao you're an irrelevant little nobody who likes to whinge on the internet and rosie jones is a professional comedian, i guarantee the others would rather hang out with her than with you. the series seems great so far sorry

DetroitArt: Iconic Black art institution in Detroit struggles to stay afloat
The Carr Center is one of the leading multi-disciplinary Black arts presenters in the country
DETROIT – The Carr Center in Detroit stands as a beacon, uniquely dedicated to amplifying the Black art experience.However, CEO Oliver Ragsdale Jr. said the decades-old institution has come on hard times
“We’re struggling,” Ragsdale said. “We’re coming out of the same kinds of challenges that many other organizations and businesses felt coming out of the pandemic.
Fundraising is down. People coming to live performances isn’t what it used to be.”The Carr Center is one of the leading multi-disciplinary Black arts presenters in the country.
“As a visual artist, it was the place for me to meet, and collaborate, and work in tandem with those who do those things,” Sabrina Nelson said.“It’s a place where artists can come together to have performances as well as conversations,” poet Melba Joyce Boyd said.
According to the center, the initial need is to raise up to $700,000 to address the debt and complete the construction of The Carr Center Performance Studio.
