And he did it when no one thought it was possible, not even himself! :D

Madonna, only because she would put a hex on me that would make me literally shit myself.

Ok, fellow commenters, what musician would make you lose your shit? True story; I worked for their record company in the 90's and I got to have a meet & greet backstage with The Rolling Stones. Their label rep introduced me and I did the “My Favorite Year” bit where I went to shake Keith Richards hand and jerked it…

Usually. But during this election, nah.

Is it horrible and reprehensible that I immediately went to ‘false flag’ on this?

I know exactly how you feel. Like whenever I do or say something that’s not black white people act like I’m some kinda unicorn. If I ever mention how I like Johnny Cash people freak out, like Johnny Cash is some underground artist that only white people know about.

I’ve encountered this too. White people shocked that I know things outside my “culture.” For instance, I didn’t grow up in the black church. I’m the progeny of a devout Catholic mother and an atheist father (black atheists are a thing!) White people have asked my atheist sister about why black churches do such and…

I’m sure it’s been beaten to death before, but Diago’s full parry vs. Justin Wong’s Chun Li super in SF3 is still one of the craziest moments in gaming history for me. My roommate and I spent 4 weeks just trying to parry supers in practice mode after seeing it. I managed to parry a full Ryu hadoken super ........once.…

As a POC who’s also Jewish (think Lenny Kravitz) that hasn’t really been my experience. I grew up in a very liberal suburb of Boston and didn’t experience much if any racism until I moved away to college. Sure, there were people who were ignorant here or there, but blatant racism? Not much. Perhaps because I look…

I have several progressive leaning, liberal friends who haven’t quite been able to shake their deep-rooted prejudices. They are against racism but “just aren’t attracted to black people” or cross the street at night when a black guy in a hoodie is walking by “it’s not a black thing, but you can never be too careful”…

As a black man who mainly runs in academic and liberal circles, I’ve encountered plenty of racism. It’s not as bad as when I’m in more conservative rural areas, which is where I grew up, but’s it’s there. The difference is just how it manifests. The racism that I endure from liberals isn’t violent, it’s more just…

I actually didn’t know the term SLAPP. I learned something new today!

Exactly! This is what SLAPP was designed for

Yep. The term SLAPP was pretty much invented for this, wasn’t it?

It’s always been this way. Sometimes the decent people win, sometimes the mindless authoritarians win.

Big oil needs to be charged with a few things here, especially the use of dogs against protesters. Keep up the good fight, Amy Goodman.

I can’t wait to wake up and find I was only dreaming about people actively trying to turn the United States into a third-world dictatorship.

Suppression of the free press...

But that might have been fashionable when she bought it.

Cannot agree with you there. My grandma has this sofa.
