I know Schumer is just doing/saying what politicians do/say whenever they have the opportunity to grandstand, but I like that he reminded the fucking world how Black folks fought for this country and served in so many other non-combat support roles as well (which is a whole other topic, if any of my war/history nerd…

You might have to go ahead and pull this piece as there’s documented evidence Simone’s daughter absolutely embezzled funds from her mother’s Estate- an Estate which did not give her the oversight/control she claimed to have in the first place. You embezzle funds and/or commit fraud, you will be prosecuted to the…

I know nothing about this brother other than what you just shared, and I’m quite thankful you did. Love everything about this. The man knows what he stands for and also knows his audience.

Won’t be surprised if the following comes out:

Very helpful and good insight. Thank you for sharing.

Very well said.

I replied elsewhere before seeing yours, mostly agreed with one point of contention. She has worn clothes/used items dozens of times in the past before returning them without issue and getting her “hard earned” money back.

Heifer is sometimes the perfect word to use, based on circumstance/someone’s actions/several other factors. In this case you used it 100% perfectly.

I used to run a little handicapping service where I’d set odds/lines for meaningless wagers amongst my idiot friends about any and every topic. We were degenerate gamblers, what can I say. Point of leading with this is to show I don’t typically judge others, we are who we are in this world.

His sister’s quote at the end really, really fucked me up. I know that feeling a bit too well (not with a sibling specifically but close enough) and I know too many people who can say the same.

I was waiting/hoping for the classic “Look at you, you work at Ross with ya broke ass” (but the racist white lady version, whatever that is) followed by the manager saying, calmly as ever, “and hunny, you shop here”***.

... with (typically unmelted, aka cold fresh out the pack from the fridge) shredded (I think cheddar but who tf cares) cheese a lot of times.

Somehow looks better coming out than going in. Wretched, wretched shit that “chili” is

A motherfuckin men to this

Leaving that man and his squad TF alone seems to be one’s best course of action. I know he’s (allegedly) gone off the rails several times, but the most serious issues he’s had since he’s been famous have involved folks testing him in aggressive ways and him handling business. And handling it himself, more times than…

IIRC Lori’s previous husbands all wound up dead under suspicious circumstances as well. Lot more to this awful couple than what this article outlines.

It’s my understanding the African league is effectively a start-up. It’s been around since maybe 2019 (?) and the league still seems to be getting its legs under them.

Very well said. Nothing of value to add beyond your absolutely dead on analysis.

I fancy myself both a history and film enthusiast, but I’m not honestly sure. Are there any movies about Colonel Tye? I remember reading about him as a youngin and feeling as strong sense of pride over him and his brigade of badasses as I did Nat Turner and other historical figures who get little to no recognition…

Yo as a Raekwon fanboy I appreciated this very much. Well done
