The hillbillies I worked with at the time were complaining about it the next day, and the new guy and I stared at each other with our eyes bugged out, almost incoherent about how amazing WE thought it was as our coworkers tried to shout us down. We’re tight to this day.

How heroic of you.

Prince’s Purple Rain at the Super Bowl? I still get chills:

At the bar I was at, no one wanted to watch the halftime show. So I pulled up Prince’s halftime show from 2008 and Chromecasted it onto all of the screens. The bar was a lot happier and this may be my superhero moment of 2019.

If you can’t parse what she’s saying but the rest of us can, doesn’t that make you the idiot?

So when someone just automatically assumes Cardi B (or AOC for that matter) are stupid, is that sexist or racist?

Please get over the plasticity of language. There are tons of vernaculars within American English and they’re all equally valid as languages.

No, she only sounds ‘stupid’ if you have white supremacist ideals of English language usage. Because it’s a living language with multiple colonized cultures participating in the growth of the language her usage is no less valid than that of an upper middleclass suburbanite’s, nor an Australian aboriginal’s, nor the…

Is there a better way - a more grammatically correct way - to say “I’m not dumb at this shit.” It’s the being “dumb at” something that my brain snags on and I wonder if it’s just one of those things that might not sound right even though it is.

I think it’s interesting to see people’s reaction to her accent and vocabulary choices. She IS educated, if not via a standard, completed degree. Autodidacts like her can have more in-depth information on the subject of their choice than an average Master’s degree holder, but the drawback is they can miss whole chunks…

I can respect Cardi’s mind and her work ethic, be interested to hear her political views, love to chat with her about FDR’s New Deal’s impact on world politics, surmise with her on the impact Elenor had on his personal politics and STILL be pissed as fuck at her for her anti-trans statements.

I want to give a shoutout to my motherfucking phone for autocorrecting to munbers there. You the real MVP.

The universe is 13.8 billion years old,  and earth itself is 4.5 billion. On the cosmic scale,  if we round these munbers down to any rational degree all the Super Bowls that have ever taken place or ever will take place are occurring right now. 

“Hardesty simply read every officer’s account of Lewis’ racist joke.”

Jo Ann Hardesty is the best thing to happen to Portland! She’s been around forever, and I’m so glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves. 

Fried chicken at least still tastes good when cold.

Imagine if Obama had served fast food. Not only would he have been excoriated for “besmirching the dignity of the office of President” or whatever, but we’d still be hearing “WHY DIDN’T HE SERVE FRIED CHICKEN HYUK HYUK” until the end of fucking time.

“Players were talking amongst each other but everybody was like: ‘I’m not going to that.’”

Seeing the Hamburgler serve up cold burgers hard-as-fuck french fries must have been an extra sense of vindication for them.
