People are out there claiming it was a glass cut on her foot and that her own friends are distancing themselves from her. Basically, misogyny 101 stuff.

“I just don’t understand the “doubt” part.”

And the letter from Black men???

Sounds more they have a fetish about being kidnapped.

Or the stupid shit they post on Facebook or NextDoor about how everyone wants to abduct them.

Uh huh. Plus, look at that lovely little girl up there. She’s half her mother’s height. No way he thought she was a woman; he just knew if he said “little girl” the police would start laughing their asses off. 

The details in the article make you realize the story is even worse than the headline implies. She was IN HER OWN FRONT YARD (and maybe on the sidewalk in front of her house too), and she’s part of the only black family on the street. So this guy not only likely knew who she was, or at least could have easily deduced…

This is his neighbor and the kid was in her own front yard.  WTF.

Victim complex is a helluva drug.

The “little Black woman” thing is really illustrative. Either the word “child” didn’t occur to him or it -did- occur to him and he realized on some level that saying it would point out how unfounded his “fear” was.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a sentence that neatly summarizes the white suburban American mindset as this one. Trapped in their own homes, constantly spying on the neighbor next door, always miserable despite having everything going their way. 

regardless of Lawshe’s intentions, the incident was “still racism,” and “this was not a mistake.”

He really seems to have no idea what $8 is. If you replaced it with $80,000, to him that is the same amount of money, the same way a penny and a nickel are both basically the same to you and me.

We are currently watching Elon core skills are work. He is not an engineer or designer at Tesla, neither is he an engineer or an aerospace specialist at SpaceX. He is a micromanaging CEO in Tesla and SpaceX and while he happily takes credit for the work of thousands of talented people at those companies he is now the…

While I can’t say this is $44B worth of entertainment

While I can’t say this is $44B worth of entertainment, I’m absolutely having a blast watching a narcissistic billionaire do his best “Sideshow Bob walking onto every rake” impression while taking something like the blue checkmarks, the solution to a verification problem, and turning it into the problem it was designed…

Congratulations Ohio.

Idk how anyone can see Vance as anything other than a con man. Like we watched the dude’s personality get focus group’d and change in real time lol

Unsurprising. Ohio used to be a state that Democrats could sometimes win in good Presidential election years, but it’s pretty solidly red now.
