It was one of her first true finger foods/solids (soft, easy to hold, and unlikely to contribute to hereditary constipation), so I think a large part of the appeal was being able to feed it to herself (or the dog). She’s gone back and forth on them since, though.

The only impressive thing here is the size of the spread, which really only makes sense if her household is one in which lunch is dinner rather than supper.

Not like they couldn’t have run instead of continuing to surround her and take something by force. Isn’t the #1 piece of advice for dealing with threats and theft to draw public attention so the other party would have the pressure of witnesses?

And plenty of reporting that he was threatening people on the train.

who wasn’t being violent

So there’s no way this case isn’t leading to new stand your ground laws.

Where the hell are you eating?

It didn’t decline her card, though. They took the bike from her by force and closed her lease, just happening to do so during the refund window. They also clearly had no claim to it given that she was the one with the receipt.

It shows she submitted payment and was given the bike. Just because they voided her payment before charges accrued doesn’t mean they didn’t take it off her.

A major reason is systemic racism and poverty, so some people can’t escape that. Lack of access to: healthy food, safe spaces to exercise, inadequate health care, disparities in education, etc. That obviously isn’t Lizzo’s issue.

She takes a step to the left, takes a step to the right, huffs and puffs for a bit, then sings.

She has receipts and the video does indicate that he was tying to grab her bike. Seems as good a time to yell at someone as any.

How is this more important black news from the UK than Diane Abbott or Kwasi Kwarteng, probably the UK’s most important black politicians, blowing up their careers?

The report just gets crazier and crazier. It’s kind of amazing. The FBI asked her under oath if she’d done it, she said “no,” the FBI showed her the text she’d written saying she’d done it and asked if she was lying, and she said “yes.” Then there all the other things it found she did. It’s a bad look for Warren and…

We’ve seen it before, and will again. The question is whether Tallahassee has the right political culture or he’ll need to more to Baltimore.

Yeah, I didn’t know “American bully” was a breed and was just shortening it. Now I’m wondering if I made the same mistake when reading the adoption posting, as I don’t think it would still be up anywhere

As for thew why, there have been some controversies:

So there’s a big statistical issue that basically any dog with a stubby nose, short hair, or white coloration becomes “pit-type” the second they bite someone and they seem to make up 90% of the feral stock and sketchy backyard breeder output in the country (they’re basically The South’s landrace), but there are pretty…

The difference is that only the concrete has something frozen in it. A frappe, on the other hand...

Diane Abbott published it last week.
