Thank you J’na! I am at my desk at work wiping tears. My daughter was 5 when Bring It On came out and as my baby and sister of 2 basketball obsessed Black males she gravitated to cheerleading, I guess partly from so much exposure to being in the gyms as games were being played. I can proudly say I have watched this…

Unfortunately, the US Supreme Court rules that cops don’t need to know the law. This, in response to a case in which a NC cop stopped someone for an infraction that didn’t exist. Supreme Court said it was reasonable for the cop to think the law might have been real.

No, it won’t. The entire point of “defunding” (which is an easily misconstrued concept by name alone) is not that the police won’t get funds any more. It means rebuilding the department from the ground up to they DO get the right kind of training. It means focusing less on loading up police departments with military…

After watching this, my first thought is well, we now know what Isis from “Bring it On” is doing now!

It’s not a purity test to expect leaders to keep their fucking hands to themselves and treat women like human beings.

“...Former First Lady Hillary Clinton...”

Delaware is called again at the end of the video and then they talk about Biden being their Senator and friend and then vote for him.

BTW, obligatory:

I need someone to explain to me how they can demand a young man cut his hair...which has zero impact on the student body...but they cannot demand students wear a mask...which would save lives.

I feel like this “NBA bubble” idea is pretty close to an admission that the players of the NCAA are primarily athletes, and not so much students. Because how can they attend school while in this basketball bubble? 

I’m sorry, but we are out here worrying about PLAYING GAMES in 2020!? Buy a damn Nintendo Switch, and Play Animal Crossing or whatever you want on your PS4, but worrying about if actual people can go play sports right now is the tiniest thing on the totem pole of shit that needs to normalize in 2020 and beyond.

I just assumed with the staged photos this was obvious?

Or what about this? She was both scammer and victim? She was sixteen when the age of consent was eighteen. This law exists because sixteen-year-olds cannot consent to sex with adults, cannot enter contracts, cannot do many things that require adult reasoning (which, of course, many adults don’t use).

It was about BLACK GIRLS! Ffs race had tons to do with it! Do you not understand intersectionality? Who it is definitely NOT about is YOU

It’s a bit more subtle and hurtful than that. A lot of kids from other cultures are bullied relentlessly for eating “weird” foods, and a lot of them give up or insist to their families that they can’t eat those foods anymore, which creates an internal spiral of hurt. It is particularly bad for immigrant or first…

Not what I expected at all. That driver was both lucky and, from what I can read of the telemetry, cool as a cucumber. Looks like: hard on the brakes, then off everytime the spin was complete and then back on to the brakes moderately in an effort to stop the spin.

I was wondering the same thing. Why on earth would they give up their seats for Pippa Middleton? It would be presumptuous even to be asked. 

They’re just not great examples of bratty behaviour.

You’re not wrong, but if she simply refused alcohol, all anyone could do was speculate that she was pregnant. That may have still overshadowed Eugenie’s wedding, but one couldn’t reasonably expect Meghan to potentially endanger her baby in order to avoid speculation. One can reasonably expect someone to keep their big…

Announcing that you’re pregnant at someone else’s wedding is a shitty thing to do, but my understanding was that they didn’t tell the public before Eugenie’s wedding because they didn’t want the news to overshadow her day. It’s very difficult to go to a wedding celebration and keep your pregnancy a secret because…
