1. Thank you for not posting this to Deadspin.

Got sick back in 2017 and during my recovery, I had the strong urge to get away from it all, for just a week, and for some reason pictured a trip backpacking and camping in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Life and work got in the way when I was back on my feet, but the idea never died and, in fact, evolved: I sche…

If The Idiot King hadn’t insisted upon a signed Covid waiver prior to the event, this would never have happened. So, I’m just fine with this message sent.

My mother is grandmother to my two mixed-race children. But she’s married to ex-military (stepfather); the guy with the flag pole in the front yard of his townhouse, retired and watching Fox News all day, that guy. Mom just loves a man in uniform, she won’t deny... and that includes every. single. cop.

Yeah, if I ever want to know what’s airing on Fox and Friends that morning, all I have to do is check in on my folks.

The worst part is, they want you to confront them. Meaning they pose two dangers.

While I personally had wished that Trayvon’s murderer (no need to say his name) would endure a solid beating across his racist face every day, and for the rest of his life, Ms. Fulton winning the seat as Commissioner might serve to suffice, just a little. I wish this woman all the wins, she deserves them.

1. Cops are authoritarian; the long, strong arm of the system.
2. Cops protect their own, and the system protects them.

That’s the problem. That’s the fire.
A few hundred racists in their ranks is the fucking fuel.

Maybe you said Covid and Nature heard Herpes? #staypositive

If I lived in the Arctic, I would not have been able to escape the commercials for this movie the last two weeks. My impression has been that the trailers feature almost no dialog and no singing, so it’s probably pretty bad. Best part is, I finally learned that Tracee is Diana’s daughter. Had a feeling she was…

Like the dope I am, I just posted the following, when I should have known there’d be a thread on the subject, already:

Yeah, that didn’t explain the whole “If I didn’t have a primary I wouldn’t be here” part of the problem.
