Thanks for this, Patrick. Great read.

I feel like this article is all over the place. The author keeps trying to show that Mimi's sex tape is not "just" sex tape, yet doesn't explain what else it is, just says that because she's black, people are reacting differently (more harshly) to it. However, from all accounts, it really is just another sex tape.…

"Black women don't always get to flounce their sexuality the way others can. " This sentence is correct for almost all WOC, most especially black and native women, but it's undone by what proceeds it.

yup. Additionally "Canadian rye" and "blended" are the same thing. There is no guarantee of rye content in a Canadian rye.

Sure, and they also dropped a lot of bombs before they dropped a nuke. The difference in scope is still pretty impressive.

This truck is totally useless.

Well, I guess the best case scenario is that these likely multi-million dollar apartments will free up some more room in the outer boroughs for "the rest of us."
