Mm, I have some questions. So, there’s *TWO* chains named Giant. Both are now owned by Ahold Delhaize. One is Giant-Carlisle, which also owns Martin’s, and this is dominant in PA (except western PA, which is entirely Giant Eagle) and also has stores in western MD and western VA. But, I’d guess that the dominant chain…

Central Florida. Never seen one either. And until Aldi encroached Publix RULED (despite the prices).

NW FL here. I’ve never seen a Safeway. Up here it’s Publix all damn day. We just got an Aldi. Seafood and other speciality markets fill in the rest. 

July 15, 1987: This agent has confirmed the S.P. has made firm plans to dance with somebody & further conspires to feel the heat from somebody.

I am pretty sure you shouldn’t be writing about this, because some poor white kids might read about it, and then they would feel bad.

I actually find none of this “shocking;” given the context of it being pretty much “illegal” to be Black AND successful or influential during the height of Franklin’s career. That COINTELPRO fuck shit had many tentacles...

Release all the files. Publicize everything. Expose the racism. No more excuses.

I love Mary after all these years.  Good for her that she’s still out here styling and profiling.  

I get that. My point is, why didn’t Kotaku at least mention it in passing? Seems like basic information, and a bit of a journalistic fail.

Yeah, I guess trolling ol heads is the name of the game here. Thanks for the perspective. 

The irony of calling himself “academic.”

but I don’t remember anyone really grappling with the fact that a Black woman could be either a rich debutante or a slave in the same city.

Well, that case is older than most of those parents (and wasn’t up on Facebook), so I wouldn’t expect them to...

Dumb parents. Don’t they know what happened to Adam Walsh almost 40 years ago?

Honestly if Majama Goro is a party member all is cool with me.

During an interview a VP asked me what’s a perfect day for me. Told her it’s a day that nobody mentions my name. That means I’m doing my job and there are no complaints or questions.

was I the only one who read the headline and thought by “Assassin’s Creed Machine” it meant they were trying to make a real life animus?

I remember my dad getting really irritated once when I was listening to Danzig that “this is just warmed over Jim Morrison” and basically asking what was wrong with the kids these days.  Obviously I rolled my eyes as hard as I could but I FUCKING GET IT NOW DAD

Side note, with AEW/THQ/Yukes basically copying the old AKI engine if it sells well or gets good reviews maybe they could push for a proper Def Jam sequel.

It logs the exact fuel level when the car leaves the lot and then logs again when it’s checked back in. If the second reading is lower than the first reading you will be billed for that gas at the famous car rental fuel rates.
