I love the way this ended. UNC was like “actually we definitely should get her and give her tenure, she’s worth it.” And then Hannah-Jones went “Yeah, bitches, I am, and you aren’t. See ya!”
Well done Howard.

Counterpoint: maybe don’t suggest people use something that causes a ton of injuries and can cause fires in the midst of droughts and heatwaves?

“I’m sorry, but all our white swimmers never needed this, so why should we let you folks use this?”

YES

Also, remember when Terelle Pryor got banned from the NFL somehow for getting money under the table at OSU?  Still makes me mad, and is part of why I will always root for that guy.

That Juan letter... It’s so completely unaware of itself.

I hated The Patriot.  The fake war crimes committed by the British, Mel Gibson....  I briefly considered that I might like it, but then Mel Gibson ducked under the sword swing and killed the villain, and any hope of it being at all interesting.

Restaurants in my area (Burien/Des Moines/Seatac, the suburbs due south of Seattle proper) were completely overwhelmed on Monday. One Red Robin had so many customers they just couldn’t handle more, and another was short staffed but couldn’t turn off online orders, so they just kept getting more and more behind, and…

If the rest of the world didn’t make it so much of their identity, maybe they wouldn’t have to, but as is, it is, and it’s not them creating that reality.

Hopefully you can get some resolution to this that isn’t just radio silence from Twitch.  Good luck.

The funny thing is scalpers of sports tickets actually kind of provide a valuable service (or they used to pre-internet), whereas this isn’t moving a product from a group that doesn’t want it to a group that does who have no contact, it’s just a man in the middle attack.

I mean, he is white, and many people didn’t know about this.  That’s the privilege.  He has owned up to it, and that’s great, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t benefit.

$100 will get you $1 they weren’t told that part.

B-15 is messed up, conflicted, and confused. Her head’s not in the game because she doesn’t have time to get there yet.
Also, we don’t see her memories, because it would take 10 minutes, and we don’t NEED to see them. She sees a bunch of past memories, including some that make clear that she was happy before.

Pardon this woman, Joe.  And then pardon a TON more of the people in for non-violent drug crimes.

If he says “I did not want Mr. Floyd to die, and I’m really upset that he did, and wish I could do things differently”, does that count as a confession in any meaningful way?  I legit don’t know, it’s just what felt like he ought to say even if he still thinks he’s innocent... but he can’t even admit he caused the…

“a lengthy sentence will not serve Derek well” was I think the line that killed me the most from her.
Oh really? It’s not fucking supposed to.
But she said a lot of dumb shit too.

He had to.  If he didn’t arrest the kid that would be proof he had no business tasing him, which of course can’t be right.  Once the taser was fired, there was 0 chance of the situation calming down, because that would require an admission of fault from the cop, and cops are never wrong.  Always bastards, but never…

Did you guys see that Tucker is actually the one out here spilling all the tea on the shit going down in the right wing?

All studies show that high speed pursuits for non violent crimes are just a bad idea.  And you’re ignoring a whole ton of this like: person was assaulted, person’s car was assaulted in a known super dangerous manner...
