The drinker dads are rough. They have so much pain in them, you can’t help but love them. I’m sorry your childhood was like that, but I’m glad you got to sort some things out at the end.

My family lived together only off and on, and when not ‘on’, my dad was not around much. Traveling on ‘business’. He was a serious, serious alcoholic, most likely with undiagnosed bipolar disorder. He would later die from the drinking and smoking, and the few years we lived with him in Florida in the late 80s were…

Any meal I ever ate at Snacky in Brooklyn, RIP. Best vibe, best food, best crowd for years. Fried rice that Sandy, the owner, made in an electric skillet. Little burgers she called popsies on tiny sweet rolls with wasabi mayo. Carafes of sake with ice bellies on the side so your drink stays cold for the hours that you…

Oh they’re definitely making money off us somehow! 2% of every click or something or other. 

Omg I am way too high for this!

Fingers crossed she’ll be free to focus on that this time next year!

Jesus just let us have this for a day or so please! 

Yes! WTH. How are her name and photo sensitive???

Charlamagne is annoying the same way that Joe Rogan is annoying. Both are reasonably intelligent, very charismatic and have a lot of presence. They speak so confidently, and will even put on a show of listening to other people, but never admit to being wrong or the least bit ignorant. Their minds are made up already.…

Yup. This American Life did a pretty good story about how the whole thing is pretty much fabricated and designed to ruin people’s lives... https://www.thisamericanlife.org/675/im-on-tv/act-one-7

Yes... and unfortunately these days it’s often Covid19. So many of those deaths being under-reported...

This made me so sad... been listening to a lot of the Pointer Sisters for the last year or so. Especially Automatic, which Bonnie didn’t sing on, but is one of my all time faves. Anita’s deep voice is so incredible in this.

Pretty sure she didn’t sing in those later big hits, but she was in this (very timely) hit, Yes We Can:

“The wildest part about my Second City experience is that they forced me to quit because they didn’t believe me,” Bullock recalled in a recent tweet. “Then weeks later, for ‘unknown reasons,’ they fire the white man who put hands on me, but allowed the narrative to be that they fired him because of me.”

I check CNN every morning expecting to see that he’s “mysteriously died in his sleep”. Coups have been waged for far less.

Ha! Which only adds to the toxic stew...

I’m sure that’s all part of it, but I would also wager that she knew he was racist, but chose to ignore it. “Well he’s racist, but not that bad.” 

Also don’t try to jump your car with a car that has also been sitting around for a while. Drive it around a bit first.

Adjacent topic... I can’t believe I’m heading into my late 40s and half the new music videos on youtube are still full of women barely wearing any clothes. Yes I know sex and people like sex and sexuality and if they like to dress like that it’s their right. Sure. But also how about being more creative and showing a…
