Emil Guillermo: Dori Maynard led an inspired fight for diversity in the media. The fight shall continue.

Still can’t believe my friend Dori Maynard is no longer with us.

She dedicated her life to make sure there was a little more color in the media.  There have been incremental gains. But there’s still much to be done.

My tribute to Dori  Maynard is here.

The services for Dori in Oakland will be tweeted and streamed live on the web.

Emil Guillermo: I know I tend to bash SNL a lot (and it deserves it), but one joke made me laugh pretty hard last night

Actually, there was more than one good laugh in the show, but Weekend Update was better than normal with Kate McKinnon playing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a venerable and funky judge.

As she spoke about Uptown Funkin’ with Bruno Mars (funny in itself), McKinnon as the Ginz came back and topped it: “I like my men like I like my  decisions…5-4.”

That’s as funny a Filipino short joke as I’ve ever heard.

Emil Guillermo: Ears droop everywhere, in every conceivable universe, as word spreads that Leonard Nimoy has passed.

Sad day for Trekkies. By the way, his shirt is definitely blue/black.  Not gold/white.
