Which is even sadder because there are ways to do “bloodless” surgery or to bank your own blood. Prince had the kind of money and access where he could’ve done that.

Steve Rodgers became Captain America because he got the super-soldier serum, right? Has Sam undergone something similar? Or is he just a “normal” human with a shield.

How would prison abolitionists suggest we deal with the Atlanta spa shooter? Or the cops who killed George Floyd and Breonna Taylor? Or Dylann Roof?

I love that video of Prince but it also makes me sad because stage performances like that left him in so much pain that he accidentally overdosed on painkillers. When I watch video of him I realize how much he physically damaged himself with those amazing dance moves. 

I love all the nicknames for King but this is the first time I’ve seen “Stevie Plunder.” That is glorious.

The weed in that picture at the top makes me sad. Those leaves didn’t come from healthy plants.

Only five people lost their jobs and I doubt it’s about weed smoking alone, probably more about lying about weed smoking. That’s a no-no if you want a security clearance.

This going to be the reality for Gen-Z in the job market. Good luck and God be with you.

I’m so glad he’s finally dead. Does anyone know where he’s buried and whether they’ve installed the dance floor on top of his grave yet?

I like how no matter what the press dissembles the whole administration is like “Yes, that sawed-off mothafucker is a killer. Next question?” It reminds me of this video from after the debate.

Sharon Osbourne’s whole claim to fame is that her family is so trashy and dysfunctional that they got their own reality show. She was always an HR nightmare waiting to happen.

“Either they work for somebody other than the people, either they’re driven by ego or their pain is being manipulated by the state.”

Something has occurred to me after the Atlanta shooting is how good it is that we have a VP who is part Asian. Then it occurred to me how Harris is a dream target for the worst elements of our country. She’s part Black, Asian, and a woman in an interracial marriage with a Jewish husband. The only thing she isn’t is…

I think it is though. Between Trump and COVID, right-wing extremism was given a four-year does of steroids and the Republicans have become full-on fascist. Mileage varies, I guess.

Unfortunately I think that this is something a lot of Black progressives have picked up from white progressives who have fixated on resenting boomers.

My employer has offices around the world and the occasional frank conversations with some of my coworkers in those offices really remind me of just how batshit the rest of the world thinks we are.

Does that mean Jay-Z is the richest Black man in America? Because I would prefer that to Kanye.

This piece would’ve been a lot better if it hadn’t been kicked off with ageism. I know you think it’s cute but it’s still bigotry. Just because someone is old doesn’t mean they are senile.

This country would be in a much better place if Hillary truly was the killer people think she is.

Exactly. The sheriff identified with Long enough that he defaulted to being Long’s defender.
