It’s likely a directional drill to minimize effects of near-shore erosion on both cable and pipe housing. It basically sleeves a tube underneath the surface and runs it parallel a few miles offshore, where it pops up again onto the surface to allow for a traditional cable drop. The ruptured pipe was likely this same…

I moved to my safe bastion of liberalism 15 yrs ago ... a deep blue land w/ enough yoga-granolas to last a lifetime.

It’s worth pointing out that Atlanta is a bit of it’s own duck with respect to how many black people live in traditionally upper middle class enclaves around the city.

Use a ballot drop box if you can. 

I’m just going to pour a glass of wine and watch the comments roll in.

Which is why it’s never going to happen. The entire point of this was to force Uber and Lyft to STOP setting rates and taking huge portions of the fares from drivers so they could actually make decent money. If they are truly an app company ‘connecting’ riders to drivers, then take a flat fee to facilitate that…

I know I’ve said it here before, but as a non-comics-reader: the comics industry is insane. The price per page is ludicrous - impossible for anyone other than an addict or a millionaire to justify. Certainly there’s no way for most curious outsiders to take a punt on entering the genre: the number of issues I’d have…

My family went to Disney World every few years in the summer. But we live in Louisiana, so it was a lateral move. Hot and humid at Disney World > hot and humid in the backyard picking fights with the sprinklers to amuse myself.

IMO one of the biggest intraparty challenges for Democrats will be the tension between black vs. brown voters. This is an example of that.

He means diversity in opinion about the most important issues of the day. While most African Americans would probably say institutional racism and police brutality are key issues, you don’t have the same solidarity with Latinos. Central Americans might be more concerned about refugees, while Mexican Americans more…

If you want to see rich black folks who care more about their money than their blackness look no further than some of these idiot rappers out trying to suppress our vote because the like the tax break. 

Let’s take out the whole racial aspect of this for a sec. If you take that out, there is still the fact that his administration’s handling of the pandemic should be more than enough to stop anyone from voting to re-elect Trump...you would think.

Well here’s the thing: These people don’t really have experience of black people being blatantly oppressed because there are no black people around them generally. They’re poor white people who have not had easy lives but also can’t really put themselves in the shoes of black people and think that their lives would be…

One of my favorite ‘proverbs’!

Of course yall would.  Black women have the highest college graduation rate out of any racial, sex, and gender background.  That's just common sense. Unfortunately the fight for just and equal treatment lives on.

Most of the country tried to save white people from themselves in 2016, and enough of them still voted for that fool. White people are the only demographic where he still has significant support even now, during a pandemic, record high unemployment, and high civil unrest. They need to stop looking for others to save…

When a child’s cartoon sums up the predicament we are in.

I am not on Twitter and this article provides no summary to the issue. It is reminder 1,001 why I am not on Twitter though. Please do not view Black Twitter as an accurate representation of Black men or Black women. It is an app that attracts a disproportionate amount of young knuckleheads.

I once went to college with a girl who came from a conservative background. While in college, she dated almost exclusively black men, engaged in threesomes and lesbian sex, and took drugs.

That’s because you didn’t call him a nigger at least thirty times and threaten to kill him personally and shit on his body. And if you had, there would -still- be folks who think you went easy on him. I knew from the jump when you posted the article that no matter how forcefully you denounced him, it would not be…
