No, this is the actor who portrayed Michael Oher, not Michael Oher himself.

When you retire and finally have enough money to shield yourself from people who exploited you. Now imagine all of the kids in foster care who don’t have millions to challenge the people allegedly “taking care of them”.

No one believed him up till now because society has this twisted view of minorities and orphans

I didn’t say it was on them, did I? I said it showed that he hadn’t been involved in the movie and thus was also likely left out of the financial decisions.

There’s no more “cynical attempt to drum up attention” than lying about adopting a child to paint yourself as white saviors, which they now fully admit to.

“I loved your book about a young black man who goes from foster child to NFL draft pick. We’d like to make it into a movie about a white lady.”

“…as he mounts his second run for the White House…”

Well perhaps if the United States valued its citizen’s physical and mental health over that of corporate wealth then we would live in a much more supportive and compassionate society. This is not the case. The “American dream” is the pursuit of wealth, power and fame. All other values are eclipsed by these primary

Perhaps these men can wipe their tears with all the extra dollars they get from the gender pay gap or they can take a boner pill that their health insurance covers as they sit at the top of the corporate food chain, surrounded by other men who look like them, while they commiserate over how downtrodden they are.

I think for the longest time she was able to make the story a sort of perpetual performance art act, constantly changing her appearance and such.  Hey, look what cool girl Grimes is up to now!  Then she started dating Musk and people began asking her questions about things other than her music, clothing or hair color.

I think her right wing heel turn happened with “We Appreciate Power”. Ever since then she’s been kind of floundering for cultural relevance.

Truly cant think of anyone who has had a further fall from coolness than Grimes. From countercultural figure who called herself “anti-imperialist” to dating the worlds most evil proponent of the capitalist system and selling out completely. Now re-emerging as someone who is scared of the “cancel culture” bogeyman?

Jezebel is owned by right wing shitposters. The quality of Jezebel (also, The Root) has dropped considerably ever since.

Your honor, blame it on the juice.”

Dolly Parton’s cover of Collective Soul’s “Shine” was just amazing. I never knew it existed. Just beautiful. 

His whole plan has been to kill Twitter because people on it made him feel bad. 

Every billionaire is a policy failure in a country without universal healthcare.”

I wonder what Xerox will say about it. 

I agree, also I enjoy when we get glimmers of Carrie being an asshole again (like faking covid). Carrie has always been a charismatic asshole, I hate that they keep trying to smooth that out of her.

No one is attached to Narnia? Millions of people imagined the excitement of stumbling through a wardrobe during a game of hide and seek to find a fantastical land.
