It me.

I know. Thanks!

Just a small thank you for saying “died by suicide” rather than committed.

This is a whole different point than the one you began with, which was to say that white people invented 40 oz malt liquor beverages. I was simply pointing out that Michael had not argued that black people invented it. I truly was not intending to offend, especially not to the extent that would inspire you to argue…

I mean this very respectfully: read the rest of that sentence again. He gives two stipulations. One where a thing was invented by black people and another where a thing is used to villify black people. Sometimes those categories overlap but sometimes they don’t. He is not saying that black people invented 40s, but…

Lucky Pierre!

Loving your screen name for its synchronicity with this topic!

Right?! The hate is so potent today that I had to check whether or not Mercury is in retrograde.

Tomato troll. Nothing to see here.

Why are you beginning your post with an oppositional phrase? I’m sure we are in agreement!

Don’t Let Me Be Lonely and Citizen are both incredible!

Holy shit! I’ve spent the last few years thinking it was Taylor Swift in that gif. Oops!

Read the caption of the header image. Should clear things up for you!

Sometimes I don’t know whether to be sad for him, sad for myself for reading comments to the extent that I recognize him, or sad for both of us. The whole thing is absurd, TBH.

Tomato troll.

It was Nunes who said that. Chaffetz is just silent on the matter. Basically, yes, fuck Chaffetz, but also fuck Nunes.

This is my pet issue, and I don’t care who knows it! I am STILL waiting for the results of the Best Sports Baby category from last year’s Deadspin Awards. I watched the whole garbage event for the babies and refuse to get excited about any more of these new kids on the block until we know who the reigning champ is.
