Really enjoyed her interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air yesterday. Her childhood was a bit bananas yet the her life she has made for herself is nothing short of incredible.

Hello NASA? I’m thinking of a certain kid in Irving, Texas who you definitely want to have intern with you next summer.

They led Ahmed into a room where four other police officers waited. He said an officer he’d never seen before leaned back in his chair and remarked: “Yup. That’s who I thought it was.”

That poor fucking kid. He must’ve been so proud of what he made and to have his efforts met with such racist suspicion is heartbreaking. He sounds like a great student and every teacher involved in this mess should be thoroughly ashamed.

Hearing about the way her parents raised their children makes me very sad.

Ok so let me just end my part in this discussion with a quick example that hopefully all of you can understand (though some of you might need to calm the frick down for a hot minute).

THE FUCK?!? The population growth since Katrina is disproportionately white. The city has actually had a net loss of black residents, most of whom could not afford to come back and rebuild (or as she says, “reset.”) Because of what house stock was rehabbed (err...reset) and because of tourism to the city fueling Air…

You know what matters more than flabby arms?

Y’all, everyone in Dallas is super devastated about this :-( Most of us who live here have followed her story from the beginning, and had gone to see her, taken kiddos to see her, and overall were just very invested in her.

In his Ferrari, in the back seat of my Civic, in a forest, on a beach, in a cheap motel or a penthouse suite,…

Hoping this song comes out on top:

I love U2 - always have, always will. I get that that isn’t the point of your article, but that is the point of my comment. Carry on.

I (6’1”) need to add :

More like Grey’s of Thrones, amirite?!

I seriously missed that. Her tone of voice didn't convey sarcasm to me at all, so I'm glad others picked up on it! I was thinking 'What the shit, Joan?!'

I thought so too. Like if he had said “Yes, great!” she would have reamed him out.

I think she was. I had to watch the episode twice to get it, though. She was using sarcasm so that Tan Old Dude would see how ridiculous he was being.
