This woman is so impressive. Whereas other celebs use their wealth to start lifestyle brands, or alcohol companies, Megan Thee Stallion is over here finishing school (in public health no less, despite being a multimillionaire recording artists,) starting charitable foundations, and opening assisted living facilities.

There probably wasn’t any danger that someone looking at this thread was going to think there’s a shortage of people who share your/his take. When I wrote my original comment and had that discussion with you last week, I was self-admittedly taking a position opposite the majority of the (non-right wing/conservative)…

Alright. This seems to be the orthodox take on this bill and story—is this guy different from the chorus of other activists, journalists, etc., saying the same thing?

How do you make Wordle more difficult? If they remove words, wouldn’t that make it so the system won’t even accept the guess? I suppose they could add jargon words and the like (stuff that wouldn’t appear outside of an unabridged dictionary or medical/legal dictionaries,) but it doesn’t sound like they’re doing that.

You don’t think it would have been worse (or, at least more uncomfortable for Prince Andrew,) for there to be a depo transcript in which he gets sandblasted? And, worse, a transcript for the press to mine for new leads and scandals, and to use is own words to make him look worse, more entitled and out of touch, than…

I mean the dude might as well have just fought it and been found to be a rapist to a civil standard given that loudly shouting about how you’ll clear yourself at trial and that you have the evidence to do so before then settling the moment you’re told “everyone will be under oath mate” is effectively admitting to…

I think it’s great that the DA’s office is taking this up on its own initiative (rather than having to be called out by the public first,) and that the language coming from the office reflects how serious a violation this is. If you had told me this was going on (the rape kit DNA data making it into other databases…

Listen, if this rape victim were connected to a murder because her DNA was wrongfully put into a DNA forensics database, no one is saying (or at least I don’t think anyone is saying,) that you ignore the potential link to the homicide.

I think Kim had more to work with; she had a sextape leak in the era when that was still super scandalous.

High-information, and very ‘online’ voters (which probably includes everyone who reads The Root, and everyone reading this right now,) know what the slogan means; it’s not hard to figure out if you care to do even the slightest research, i.e., Google the question “what does defund the police mean.” However, I tend to…

“see me for what I am which is a #1 hustler.”

That’s really interesting; so if Valieva had been 18, it would not have been discretionary whether to suspend her?

Sha’Carri Richardson was suspended by USADA, not the IOC; and then USA Track and Field didn’t select her to compete in the one event that fell outside of her one-month suspension period.

I understand that that Black TikTokers were given the invite links very late, and some weren’t even able to join; and I get that there were a lot of non-Black people involved in the function, which had the practical effect of drowning out the voices of the Black creators and participants.

If a kid came to you and and said they were gay or trans, but worried about coming out because their parents would send them to conversion therapy, are you confident you could advise that kid to tell their school counselor and be confident that counselor would not tell their parents?

The 2nd amendment does not apply to Black folks

If only conservative lawyers had as facile and uncreative a mind as you, it might really be the case that there is not much to worry about with this bill! 

Seriously, even if the gun is in his hand while he’s sleeping... it’s ridiculous to say someone might have reasonably feared for their life from a guy who was passed out.

Almost everyone who actually knows what they’re talking about, and isn’t just a blowhard “well, actually...” asshole, has flagged this bill as alarming[.]

This is more stunt legislation from Florida lawmakers trying to win culture way points with their base; playing to conservative fears that exist only on Fox News and in their own minds. Having said that, the implications of this bill/law are far less apocalyptic than the article would have you believe. The text of the…
