Or.... and I’m just spit balling here... but... what if....

On Thursday, the Fort Worth Police Department released a statement saying Ballard has been suspended indefinitely after he shared a post that was “racially insensitive and grossly inappropriate.”

“All decisions will be made with the health and safety of players, team and gameday personnel as our primary consideration.”

And this news was the shot in the arm to get me to get the series because I checked the first from the library and loved it and then lost touch. Fixed that :)

It’s pretty simple.

Seriously! What are we going to learn in the next one? Even Trump’s shout out to the Proud Boys, as horrifying as it was, wasn’t exactly a revelation.

Also: You don’t have to pull down your mask to talk on the phone. And if, by chance, you find you have to, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE, YOU HOARY ASS MOTHERFUCKER!

You can, and it would probably be the nice thing to do. But unless it was specified in the contract, that logo is yours. I’m a photographer, so I deal with aspects of this.

And you don’t build a bridge overnight. You’re talking about any sort of change as if tomorrow someone in a suit will walk onto the NYSE and announce that our economy is now going to be based around movie ticket stubs and cans of tuna and BOOM!

“We aren’t going to try something that no one has ever seen working in the real world.”

No doubt they’ve received hundreds of letter and probably thousands of phone call asking them to hold it in spite of the pandemic.

Oh god that was fun :)

For real! And between the show itself and listening to the commentary tracks on the DVD sets (I’m that guy), I swear I could hear the phone call as I read it.

Oh of course, but this way it’s an idea that comes from some white people, as opposed to a faceless corporation. This way, when other white people lose their goddamned minds over it, everyone can shrug their shoulders apologetically because, hey...

“To my law enforcement folks, we got this. We can turn this thing around.”

But, y’know, fix it without changing anything for us? Yeah, that’d be great. Maybe, and this is just a suggestion, maybe we could do a kind of “Black History MonthS” instead of “Black History Month”. Or what... what if Starbucks had a cup that was black, green and red? Something like that...

Well I mean, this past weekend on the west coast, going anywhere outside kinda required a mask, full stop. *cough*

And then I felt Officially Old(TM)

I think that had Woodward dropped this back in February/March it would have been spun into oblivion. It would have been one more thing to Trump to handwave away and for us to consider in a blurry, hazy fashion when the book came out. And that wouldn’t have changed anything.

No, but apparently her phone did ring while she was standing in line at the bank...
