Really sad story. I have strong suspicions but am not well informed on this case so all I can say is Rest in Power to the young man and condolences to his family/friends. If there’s more to the story I hope the family, and our society, get the answers they (and we) deserve.

And from what I’ve read on the topic, which admittedly isn’t much, depending on the cognitive test they’ve have been found not to work in a lot of instances. Patients with dementia and other related issues have been known to “ace” certain cognitive tests.

I definitely had many a “Midvale school for the gifted” moment so I will always appreciate Mr. Larson.

I don’t know you, but I can with relative confidence say you are most assuredly not part of the problem. You’re aware of what’s going on and you hold others accountable for their nonsense, race/ethnicity aside. If we’re going to get where we need to be it has to be with everyone on board (or at least, so many of us…

Just dropped today but I can’t stop vibing to the coalition of Terrace Martin/Robert Glasper/9th Wonder/Kamasi Washington on this Dinner Party EP. Its exactly the mood music I needed right now given current circumstances.

Lol I can’t say I disagree with you. I think she had fully committed to the Ina Garten/Barefoot topic by then so she rolled* with it after the league shot down her Cuntessa name.

Very well said. Athletes, at least to an extent, mirror the rest of society. You’ve got players all about the team/society, players out for self but who don’t necessarily shit on anyone else, the players who are straight-up racist/misogynists/insert any other despicable discrimination, and then the…

Free lunch recipient here. I was working with a couple organizations in LA several months back when schools first shut down to make sure the kids got breakfast and lunch specifically because I remember what it felt like as a kid...

Nail on the head. And some, if called out, will immediately launch in to a diatribe about how I’m or whoever is doing the call-out is:

Ugh don’t get me started on that doom. Full and honest disclosure, I consider(ed?) myself a very, very big supporter of Stak. I met him after the Malice at the Palace, he was in Philly and spoke at this event I volunteered at. Dude spoke from the heart, made no excuses for his behavior, and spoke about the fine line…

Agreed across the board. And honestly as much as this is accurate- “Really not doing much for the stereotype of football players being dumb meatheads”- It bothers me that society sometimes gives jocks passes for their ignorance. In no way am I accusing you of doing so because I know exactly what you meant, but I began…

Late response as I had to stay away for a bit, shits just been getting me way too irritated lol. But I wish I had an answer for either of your questions. All I can say is some folks who “make it” financially in their field of employment automatically assume that means they’re experts on the world’s ills. It doesn’t…

It’s not just that it’s attributed to Hitler, if he was actually quoted saying it. It’s the implication involved and its disgusting for someone who wants to be “woke” to not understand the meaning behind the words he posted.

Apropos of nothing whatoseover, I just wanted to say a few years back my good friend wanted to name her fantasy football team the Barefoot Cuntessas. The other people in the league seemed to be easy going/funny folks prior to her team name selection, but they rebelled against her (??? I know) and she ultimately…

Sending you whatever positive vibes and support I can over the internet because I completely understand what you’re going through. My daughter was born last February so she wasn’t born during Covid, but she hit basically every major milestone during this pandemic- crawling, walking and talking (eh, more so babbling…

It’s all fun and games until the contraption turns your genitalia in to RoboCock.... Then again, that sounds kinda cool/badass?

Oh man don’t get me started on that. Disgraceful people who deserve nothing but misery in their lives, but who likely won’t face much if any comeuppance.

I completely understand your position and trust me, I go back and forth on it. I think for now I’ve landed on, “waste of time or not, let these companies waste time by trying to inform and educate their people as opposed to wasting time by hosting bullshit team building exercises which do nothing to boost morale and…

Upon further review, I am glad you didn’t share because we don’t ever want paper trails. Very juvenile/clumsy of me, my apologies (and my best wishes for a successful mission- get ‘em, and get ‘em good!).

The text from that clip in the article says “It’s now ok to attack our country and our ideals” in reference to protesters tearing down confederate statues.
