The NFL also profits from irreparable bodily damage done to Black men. I used to enjoy watching, but don’t understand how anyone can support a league that does everything it can to avoid its own responsibility for traumatic brain injuries. It’s the hunger games in slow motion.

I am so sorry for your loss. My dad died four weeks ago after a long illness, and I miss him so much it’s hard to stand. It comforts me to believe his suffering is finally over, but god I miss him.

I got a free ticket to see him on Broadway several years ago, and he was pretty great. Lots of middle-aged fans just LOSING IT. Afterwards, my friend who took me said, “you know what you are now? A Fanilow!”

Hey SNS friends. I don’t post often, but needed to get something off my chest. My beloved dad died four weeks ago, six years and one day after his diagnosis with acute myeloid leukemia.

I appreciate your response. My own interpretation of Scripture leads me to completely different conclusions than does your own.

But you aren’t engaging in conversation. You have replied to none of the many polite attempts to engage you in this conversation you say you want. Commenters have repeatedly responded to you with courteous arguments of their own, and you have not once replied to them. Perhaps you do not know what a conversation is?

LOVE IT!

I learned a lot from your writing, and not only about shade. Thank you, and good luck!

that haircut alone should disqualify him for marriage. pompadour hitler-youth is bad.

absolutely. that’s what makes this takedown so much fun to watch. yates savaged cruz on his own terms, as a debater and lawyer.

Even the Code of Hammurabi contains the presumption of innocence, a right not afforded to Mr. Thomas.

let’s hear it for the judiciary!
