officers Michael “Kevin” Piner, (...) and James “Brian” Gilmore

Yeah, I didn’t like hip-hop back then but I instantly liked this song and especially the video. I remembered and “rediscovered” it a couple years ago and I’m still not tired of it.

Apparently a lot of the garages do have pull ropes that were made to look like like nooses. Wallace himself is saying that it was a “straight-up noose” after the FBI investigation so there goes my theory that it was just a different knot that looked unfortunate:

It’s pretty easy to unintentionally make a knot with a loop look like a noose though, even a common non-sliding bowline can look like a hangman’s knot from far if the loose end is long and points back up along the rope.

I made that linked recipe today, tasty! First time I tried banana pudding. I used a little less sugar than called for, which turned out well; and thin vanilla tort wafers instead of round cookies, which didn’t turn out as good because they were thin and so got soggy too easily. Still very tasty though, my dad and…

On all occasions where I might expect a gift (Christmas, birthday, father’s day) I wish for the same thing: an additional cubic metre (roughly one cubic yard) of air in our home, to be made by moving out one cubic metre of clutter out to the dump or to a thrift store donation bin. And every time my family spitefully…

What kind of apologist bs is this? He wasn’t some starving artist, he was the chief editorial cartoonist at his paper. I also doubt that “the government ordered him” to do anything or that anyone ‘commissioned” his work; and even if, what’s the worst that would have happened if he said no?

Just don’t show his cartoons about the other enemy the USA fought during the war, ugh.

Dumas had a very famous, very accomplished black father, so he couldn’t be whitewashed whether he or anyone else wanted to.

But it’s OK when Nazi practices are applied to foreigners, especially brown ones. Should I be worried and check the history books to see if that kind of crap is likely to come home eventually? Maybe later, “Friends” is on now, followed by the “The Apprentice.” Haha, that Trump, “you’re fired!!” lol.

Apparently small towns in the US are paranoid about Antifa outsiders being bussed in to wreak havoc, maybe this is part of their reaction. Also, I wonder if they go to marches for breast-cancer awareness yelling “ALL cancers matter!”

I read it differently still: he was surprised that counter-protesters came from out of his town to make it such a big deal.

The voting on Sunday thing is a good and simple idea. I wonder how that would work in Canada and the US which are more religious than France. Would there be opposition because that’s God’s day? Would religious turnout increase because after the special mass where the priest/pastor instructs his congregation how to…

That’s great for Virginia.

Suicide is usually a very private and personal act. A study from the UK shows that 75% of people who hang themselves do it at home, 10% do it in institutions (prisons, hospitals), only 15% in public. Suicide victims often don’t want to leave harrowing visuals for others. For these reasons, it seems so unlikely that a…

No, it’s not a science, and they rarely get anything. The cop who pulled over Sandra Bland did that kind of fishing all the time, and 99 times out of a hundred he got nothing. The one time out of a hundred he wouldn’t get anything huge either, just a little bid of weed or the like.

That’s still better than getting t-boned or t-boning someone.

What do you call those people who like to hang out with groups of musicians? Drummers.

Yeah, TV like this definitely was the main reason for me having a less than great view of black people and the source of their problems when I was a teen. It took some growing up and finding other sources of news and opinions to change my own, but many people don’t go through that second stage.

Professional sports isn’t even that colorblind when comes to the athletes themselves, even now. To make it to the big leagues athletes have to go through lower levels where the spotlight isn’t so bright and the money isn’t so big and so race can still trump performance. Minor league hockey coaches for example have…
