Yeah, black people are the salmon-always swimming upstream-and white people are the bears, in position to eat us when we’re at the top

Let’s take a moment to ponder just how much shit Lamar would have caught if he had planted a flag at Cincy or in Morgantown (let’s face it, UK isn’t exactly the shit anymore in football) on national television

I’m fairly certain that some of the local protest organizers are looking at marching on their dumb asses. Watch this space (I hope)

Joining up with some organizers (I live in PGH) to see if we can arrange precisely that

Here’s my problem with Stacey Abrams: after getting screwed out of being governor (I refuse to call that an L), she was effectively GIVEN a US Senate seat in Georgia (remember, Isaksen retired and the other douche was scandal turfed) with the FULL support and money of the DNC/DCCC, and she walked away to run…

“The scope of this report does not allow us to say what drives the correlation between progressive cities and underperformance of minority students. We did not consider any policy or practice as a cause for the larger achievement gaps between racial subgroups. But our results …

You know, that was one cartoon that when I was a kid, I tried to get into, and just couldn’t. I’m actually re-watching it more or less with my wife, and I appreciate it more, but I still basically think of it as animated TNG-lite (everyone save Picard, Data and Crusher was on that shit)

To flaunt my black nerddom, I prefer to recall Keith David as Captain/Councilor/Admiral David Anderson from Mass Effect

John Wick 4? More like Equilibrium 2

I’m hoping to do a quick test of a portable gaming rig by doing a quick playthough of Ace Combats 5 and 6, then start another ME3 RUN

Knee-jerk reactionism because you’re trying to go fast can and does cause more problems. Look at how we got Trump. Hell, look at how we got Barry himself. It wasn’t a sense of hope, and change, it was “Dear God, elect someone, ANYONE, not cut from that asshole Dubya’s cloth”. It worked out for Barry, but his election…

MJ is number two depressing for me. It’s “Someday at Christmas”. I love Stevie, I love the beat, I love the descending chord progression, and the message is unimpeachable, but goddamn does that trigger my thanatophobia.

Looks like the Trump White House has finally gotten hip with 21st century notions of assplay, just don’t expect him to be anything other than a top, because he’ll never submit to anything

And with one sentence, you have managed to do what Rau Le Creuset and the rest of his Char expy army couldn’t: burn down the world

While I like the progressive message, I am not a “progressive”, I’m a pragmatic moderate. I’m for aiming high and doing all that good social shit when we have the chance, and doing only what is necessary to win when it hits the fan. To that end, while Liz is my first choice, Kamala is my second choice, and if both of…

I’d like to ask this question under a flag of truce, because the question tends to sound like the setup for an attack: Assuming you’re voting (and not doing a protest), who is your preferred candidate? I can’t honestly believe it’s anyone that’s declared given how far to the left you seem to be here, but at the same…

While I love you for making a reference to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, I have to hate you just a little for reminding me that the only reason why I know the reference offhand is because of my closet affection for seaQuest DSV

I know, I know, I know. He asked a foreign party to interfere with our election. And I guess that’s serious. Tony Stark ain’t die for this shit. But that this is the hill that’s chosen to defend is both insulting and insultingly boring.

They could have built a Brighton-sized GE (or more appropriately, an Aldi or Save a Lot. Maybe even a Shop n Save) instead of building the new Dollar General on Brighton and Pennsylvania. I recall there also being an abandoned lot next to it. Speaking of Brighton, any number of those crappy stores could be converted…

Here’s a good way to illustrate this: The distribution of grocery stores around the city. Go anywhere in the city of Pittsburgh EXCEPT the North Side and you’ll run into at least two Giant Eagles within about a mile of each other (Shadyside/Bloomfield where there’s a standard Giant Eagle, then a fancier Market…
