This story is everything I fuckin needed this week 😂

Clearly.

Also it needs to be said: despite what many commenters seem to believe, I don’t think that particular Karen is white. Not that it really matters, but one doesn’t have to be “wipipo” in order be racist against Black folks - lots of other minorities are also bigoted, unfortunately. Colorism is an offshoot of…

Why don’t these idiots just try calling their own phone numbers? That’s usually the first thing I do when I can’t find my phone.  Oh, you don’t hear it ringing huh?  Guess the guy in front of you doesn’t have that shit on him.

First I get mad, then I cry ... and then I just wanna bang something into the fucking pavement. Repeatedly.

Aside from the obvious bigotry at play here, I am immediately struck by the lack of any kind of common sense. If she thought that was her son’s phone, then why didn’t she call it?

Karen: Honey, where is your phone?

I know we as men are taught not to hit women, especially raise out hands to a white woman for fear of getting outright killed, but one of these days a Karen or Hannah is gonna run up on the wrong one and get they asses beat & I won’t give a shit. You would think after all that has occurred over the past year that…

What i’m curious about is we have lawyers regularly running ads hunting for clients who are injured by whatever.

Interesting note: that picture of Simone Biles at the top of the story isn’t a freeze-frame of a point in her routine, it’s literally her floating through space and time because she’s working on that, too.  

It’s not impossible. They just have to do the same routines better. The fact that no one else can successfully do the routines in competition is not her fault, and it’s not a defect in the scoring system. They should of course grant more points for a more difficult routine rather than score a Biles-type routine the…

It’s probably figure skating, as that sport has constant fights between whether it’s a sport (measuring athletic prowess) or dance competition (measuring artistry). The current fight seems to be about how scoring rewards jumps using long windups, leading all the competitors to circle the rink interminably.

Is it just me or would a comprehensive hate crimes enhancement (so, probably not in Floriduh) be appropriate for plots like this?

Wait… the first person who turned down this guy’s murder gig ended up dead in a park and her death was ruled an “accidental overdose”? And he’s going around calling on his “drug connections” to continue the job? And no one thought that was suspicious?!

That’s MAGA for ya, can’t even take responsibility for the end of his relationship. And why would BLM commit a murder of two randos and take the time to spray paint BLM at the scene? Racist and stupid cuts clear to the bone.

10 years seems pretty light. He’s involved in drugs, murders, seems like some other stuff, and they caught him doing exactly the shit they’re claiming, so there’s really no way for him to say he’s not guilty. I wonder if there’s something about him that makes his sentence so small...

I could swear a read six months/a year ago about officials essentially adjusting the scoring criteria to handicap competitions to “correct” for competitors who had an “athletic advantage”. Did I imagine that?

(I taught history in Los Angeles, a liberal bastion, and I taught about Bass Reeves and Lewis Latimer, and Tulsa before it was on HBO) and CRT was not something for that level, it was always college or grad school.

Dr. King isn’t even talking about “all people” in the quote McCarthy butchers. What he’s dreaming of is the day that his black children are treated equally by Whites and not profiled because of their color.

I have to compliment his daughter’s ability to not slap her father’s name out this dumb bitch’s mouth.

White people hated MLK Jr and reviled him until they figured out how to commodify and commercialize a few of his words. In order for him to be palatable, they sucked up the end of I Have A Dream, turned it into an idyllic vision of multi-colored children skipping along in perfect harmony. But in fact, Dr. King was not…
