black women have always been at the forefront   (the 2nd woman is the mother of esteemed horror writer tananarive due):

Would be cool if all or almost all black NFL players remained in the locker room for the anthem game/season.

He did drop the F bomb on a gay ref.  That was a bad look.

“Freshmen, they’re at the age where their interactions with law enforcement have been very minimal. They’re not driving yet, they haven’t been stopped for speeding, they don’t have these type of interactions. This is putting in their minds, it’s almost an indoctrination of distrust of police and we’ve got to put a…

As a school librarian I’m excited to see these books on a summer reading list and I hope the teacher who made the list prevails. When The Hate U Give was removed from school libraries in Katy, Texas, 15yo Ny’Shira Lundy successfully petitioned to get it put back on:

Cops don’t want the police brutality to stop, they just want people to stop complaining about the brutality.

Incidentally, for people who are counting, this is a first amendment issue.

It was actually $40 million over two years.

How about the obvious. He’s a guy with a toxic personality whom any team looking to develop young players wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole. He’s a guy who has never won jack shit who was just on a team that got massively better when he got hurt. He’s a guy who was never known for his conditioning who just tore his…

I hate the warriors as much as the next (non norcal) person but even I’d admit that the only reason boogie got to GS is because the other teams let him. To me this means one of two things - either every other contending front office is stupid or his injury is worse than reported and he’s a 50-50 bet to even play this…

My grandma had a chinese family down the street that used to park in her handicap spot out front of her house a few times a week. She never would call the police or get the car towed because she didn’t want to cause problems with the neighbors. So my brother and I would go over there in the morning and box their car…

I don’t think anyone will seriously consider Boogie a Ring Haver if this is his one and only.

All of these would work, but I dread the day Alzheimer’s sets in and I do that to my own car.

But people don’t avoid individual games because of the likely outcome of the Finals. I mean, when the Warriors visit Chicago, or, say Orlando, do you think people are going to say “nah, we’ll probably lose.” No, they will go to see this circus of a team. As they should.

Uh, what? If the playoffs are a foregone conclusion, wouldn’t those prices be diving rather than the regular season? I can tell you that I’ll want to watch the Nuggets play teams that they are on the same level as (the Bucks, the Clippers) and ideally have some personal beef with (the Blazers, the Wolves), and the…

I’m replying to you cause I don’t want to get into an arguing match with the whiny puds.

It’s like people forget that the Lakers (multiple times), the Celtics (multiple times), and Bulls were all dynasties, but everyone just celebrates them as “storied franchises”. What’s the difference between an ascendant franchise now and the ones that are widely accepted as “dynastic franchises” that nobody wrings…

Pro-Tip: If you live on Martha’s Vineyard, and your instinct AT ANY TIME is to bitch about persecution, STFU and walk out onto your fucking veranda.
