Just because Jamie Lynn haven’t spoken publicly about her sister, doesn’t mean she’s ignoring it.

I remember some years ago waiting in line at Wal-greens, some child and his father were in front of me. And suddenly, I heard a very very distinctive voice coming from their direction. I peered over, and the child was watching something on the tablet, and out loud I asked the father: “Is that Biz Markie?”
I had no…

I genuinely appreciate that context, so thanks for sharing. My comment was prompted by the students who said that they’re reported this teacher before and been ignored. Now, I doubt they reported directly to the board, so I was probably being unfair. However, if the board is really serious, I think there need to be…

With respect, I don’t think this is a fair assessment (Full disclosure, I am a product of Sacramento public schools). For what it’s worth, the board is as diverse as the people who live in the district. There are seven elected board members, of whom three are White women, one is a Black woman, one is a Black man, one…

So when fat ass decides to run again in 2024 will Fox News call out his bullshit then or will they revert to the fawning fan boys they have always been? Hell hopefully by then Fox News will be gone.

OK, but I think we are putting a little much on doctors: contrary to opinion, they are not scientists, but closer to car mechanics. So, while I am sure that racism is alive and well in the medical system (as in all systems) I really don’t know what we expected them to do with odd or unusual symptoms they can’t explain…

Sorry this has been such a shit-show for you. The double-shitty part is that a patient needs to advocate for themselves when they have no fight in them and mostly just want to be in bed.

It’s just possible* that they’re hoping you have anxiety or acid reflux or something they can actually treat, because if your real problem is long-term COVID, they’ve got nothing to offer you. (There isn’t any agreement on what causes long COVID nor how to treat it.)

Just curious, since you’re calling bullshit on this being a coincidence, how do you envision the scenario where this was a planned hit? The chase started 8 blocks away...are you saying they saw where this uncle was driving, knew exactly where he was going to be crossing that street, and then planned this chase to go…

I think there may be some idea that a strict no-chase policy turns high-speed getaways into a get-out-of-jail-free card. That’s been a bit of a problem in the Boston area, where dickheads are treating roads, sidewalks, parks, and even the fucking zoo as their personal ATV rally courses and the cops just ignore it (I…

Atlantic had a fascinating article a few months ago that basically argued we should fund the police more. Cops in the States get a fraction of the training police in other rich countries receive. Police in Europe gets like 3-4 years of training compared to 8-10 weeks for their American equivalents. Same going for…

I would normally respond with all these coincidences sure take a lot of planning but I don’t want to dive to far down the rabbit hole. This is why the slogan “defund the police” is stupid. No one in their right minds wants that but there damn sure needs to be a reallocation of funds towards recruiting a different…

Really. She’s an idiot who thought she was helping. Firing her isn’t going to solve anything, but keeping her on can be a teaching moment.

Let’s turn this around. If a white girl had come to school with her tips Kool-Aid blue as little girls are wont to do these days, and said teacher had cut them off because reasons, what would have happened to her?

Yeah, with Mr. Witherspoon’s passing and just having so much time having gone by, unless they can pull a Cobra Kai level of good writing on the series, it might be time to say Bye Felicia.

I’m a Black man. Yesterday I was at my local grocery store, talking to one of the butchers, another Black man, and he asked me, “What do you think about Cosby?”

Listen now, I grew up listening to Cosby’s albums and they are a treasured part of my childhood. I watched Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and enjoyed that cartoon. I still find the albums funny (not so much Himself which was a blatant commercial to promote his new TV series, which I never really liked.)

This was not a decision based on race made by old white men. This was a uniformly enforced decision made by an international panel of men and women of all races. So CD’s insistence that it is the fault of old white drug users is patently false.

I am not sure how often she smokes but she should have known better. I smoke daily, but when I have to find a new job or have an interview where I know I will be tested, I stop. And it really doesn’t matter if it was because of her mothers’’ death or not because in the end, its not a valid excuse if you want to go the…

A few thoughts:
