Not addressing hiring bias, conscious or otherwise, has got to be one of the dumbest self-inflicted wounds

It’s almost like people who only pay attention for 2 weeks every four years to what someone devotes their entire existence towards getting better at have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about

I never would’ve said Viola Davis looks like Michelle. But I’ll be damned if she isn’t the closest resemblance of all the actors in that trailer. Add in the movement and cadence? *chef’s kiss*

Two very big drivers:
1) Scholarship-based competition. Huge portions of the student population do not pay “full tuition.” (Look up what a particular university’s “discount rate” is, if available). The sticker price can be like 30-40% higher than what the average student actually pays.

I felt like the clip cut off fast. In case you don’t want to watch the interview (relevant portion around the 40 min mark), Steele continues, at one point saying “my White family loves me just as much as my Black family.” Cutler (career record 74-79) responds first by telling Steele that his sister is married to a…

So I have this wild opinion that when someone gets murdered, there must be a trial and the jury can decide whether there’s enough evidence. I know, I probably sound like a crazy person

YOU KNOW I GIT-GIT-GIT-GIT-

In celebration:

Is it possible to get COVID from a picture? Pretty sure I just did

But is America honest, or do we bask in sin?
Pass the gin, I mix it with American blood
Then bash him in, you Crippin’ or you married to Blood?
I’ll aks again—oops, accident
It’s nasty when you set us up then roll the dice, then bet us up
You overnight the big rifles, then tell Fox to be scared of us
Gang members or…

Worst Prince tribute ever

I think the exchange deserves to be transcribed in full:

From their website:

I’ve always wondered what the thumbs-in-the-beltloops thing is all about. But I dare you to try chomping on a piece of straw without doing it... can’t be done

I agree that the settlement is low, but don’t blame the lawyer. Apparently he got involved 72 hrs before the statute of limitations expired and almost certainly did it pro bono. All parties have to agree if it’s settled, so the family definitely signed off on the deal. I have yet to see compensation in any police or…
