Some of the criticism I’ve seen of Bridgerton has been in this camp. There are certainly things not to like about it, but it isn’t and never was envisioned as a Black show; it’s “we want a frothy Regency romance but we want to cast an insanely hot Black dude as the lead.”

I’m on the third episode, and I have to say that Regé-Jean Page has made me more heterosexual than I was last night. Damn. 

It’s amazing how dated Shadowrun is now, though. Everyone was so convinced in the ‘80's and ‘90's that Japanese corporations were going to take over the world.

These same punk ass companies couldn’t wait to post about BLM on social media, while not paying or promoting their few Black employees equally.

I can’t get over WHY WERE Y’ALL EATING IN A RESTAURANT IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2020?!?

Secretary of Catch These Hands.

I’m old, because I keep lookiung at his name and thinking there’s a typo.

Haaland would be a much better choice. I voted absentee in 1992 so I could vote for Moseley Braun, but she was a disappointment. She should just stay gracefully retired.

Except the House is still working, but you do you.

Because reasons!

Because that’s how Congress works? I live in California, and I don’t get to vote for Nancy Pelosi because she’s not my representative. She’s the Speaker because the other Democratic representatives voted for her, not because the representative from CA-12 automatically gets named Speaker of the House. If her…

The early and mid-2010's when she was House Minority Leader?

Pelosi has said that, though, for months. But there’s this magical thinking that only Democrats have agency, so McConnell refusing to take a vote on the bill, and not even bothering to involve himself in the negotiations while saying outright that he can’t get enough votes in his caucus for any stimulus, somehow…

California is a few urban areas separated by scary crazy farm country. I had to go to Dixon once, and I don’t want to do that again any time soon.

I’m guessing COVIDiots who think the Democratic governor is infringing on their freedom by closing casinos.

He’s going to be working on stealing anything that’s not nailed down and prying up the everything that is, plus working to hurt as many people as he can on the way out.

See, I never expected white women to vote for Hillary, because older, married, non-college educated white women resent her just as much as their husbands do. But we need to talk about the 14% of Black men who voted Trump, especially since y’all are the ones who are currently Trump-curious. There were Black men who…

I’m not the target audience, but I never could figure out what it was for. The media campaign made it look like Vine for celebrities--I had no idea there was actual scripted content.

I love baseball, but I can’t even watch the World Series and root against the Dodgers right now, because it’s just sad. They’re playing in fucking Texas, in a boring corporate park with only a handful of people in the stands. Dodger Dogs are of Satan, but at least the fans should have them for the World Series. It’s…

When I was in an online grad school program, we used Zoom a lot. I got a job as a student assistant, teaching my fellow librarians in training to use Zoom. I had an awesome colleague—one of the rare other Black folks in the program—and we loved teaching people about the breakout room feature.
