“63-Year-Old Black Man Granted Parole After Spending Nearly 24 Years in Louisiana Prison for Stealing Hedge Clippers”

Omar is the goat. That is all. 

It’s hilarious that a guy marketing himself and his company as “Cyber Security Experts” is being lead around by the nose by a Russian disinformation operation. And by hilarious I mean profoundly disturbing.

Which has been my frustration this year. As much as I would’ve given my right arm to watch Warren clean Trump’s clock... I’m now down to admitting that Biden *had* to be the nominee. Because the bottom line is that *somehow* (DESPITE all the handsiness!!!) he’s just so inoffensive.

Another Ohio voter, a retired steelworker named John Melody, put a finer point on it: “I thought the girl just wanted the job because she wanted to be the boss, that’s all,” he said.

The whole ‘Lock her up’ chant was trial run in Ukraine.

When I worked at a law firm in Toronto — frequently ranked by National Geographic as the world’s most multicultural city, and one where something like 40% of residents don’t speak English at home — we figured out that a lot of very talented junior lawyers with non-Anglo names weren’t getting asked to work on the…

1. Jay made my head hurt. Like I have a migraine now. I feel like Jay owes me money for reading that screed.

My one regret about getting sober at 19 was that I wasted my time drinking shitty beer and cheap wine. There was a whole world of interesting drinks that I didn’t even know about and will never get to try.

What a glorious time to be Mitch McConnell. He can live his most authentic fucking shitty life and doesn’t even have to exert the most minimal effort to hide anything.

Not to go all Lifehacker on you, but I was this many years old when I realized that I could wipe out the liquid detergent cups with dirty laundry going into the clothes washer so that the cups didn’t become all gooey and nasty and, thus, wasting precious drops.

What continues to annoy me is that people defend Lucas as “not racist.” The guy who ran the pizza parlor he worked as a teen, or his friend from school. “He’s not racist.”
These same people try to dismiss “systemic racism.” They fail to understand that these cops don’t have to be lynching, n-word spewing klansmen.…

America (the culture) has lied to me from an early age. America made me feel uncomfortable in my own skin. American made me feel uncomfortable speaking in public. America made me feel uncomfortable about my brown skin and my Latino culture. America made me feel less than ________. America made me a mental patient.

Mike’s right — you all need to have lives apart from The Root and especially apart from the cowardly trolls whose anonymity is the only thing that gives them what they consider power, but is only...nothing. Just nothing.

Honestly, given that Kinja was, is and will be into the future a giant piece of shit that makes attempts to moderate and deal with bad faith-shit-stirring trolls a massive waste of time, I don’t blame the staff from taking one look at the greys and going ‘nope’ and moving on.

THIS is the story of the day IMO, from my hometown paper:
