Why is this an article on The Root? “There’s no telling if this Karen would have received the same treatment (if she were black).” - that’s it? There’s no real stories about actual black people being treated unfairly anymore?

The Mercury Habsburg.

Unfortunately for her, Świątek also really likes playing in Paris. I’d give Gauff a bigger chance against the #1 on any other surface, but it’s hardest to beat Iga on clay...

Oh god, that’s even worse than the Boyz II Men version, hahaha. Having better vocalists does not automatically make a better song for me; the structure and instrumentation on En Vogue’s cover are unimaginative, cliche.

Damn, #11 is a deep cut, a soulful version of one of Black Sabbath’s rare, easy-going songs.

“Aderrien said he grabbed his chest and described the pain to be like that of Taser...”

This doesn’t add up, starting at 0:57:

There’s bigger, clearer, more obvious Karen hills to die on.

Again, assuming this is a misunderstanding, she’s calling for help because she thinks she’s about to get ripped off, maybe she didn’t realize the trip got canceled when the bike got re-docked and she thought he was going to ride away on her account. And she’s crying fake-ass tears because she’s alone against a handful…

I’d make a distinction between her and her racist supporters now though. If she honestly believed she was getting ripped off for that bike then she’s no longer a Karen who doesn’t know how to mind her own business.

Her claim is that the bike trip was cancelled/returned when the guy pushed it with her still on it back into the dock.

You don’t get charged for those bikes until you undock them and go some distance or hold on to them a bit. Her story is that she reserved the bike, took it out of the dock, and almost immediately was confronted by the guy seen arguing with her on the video, claiming that he pushed her bike back into the dock with her…

A twist!

Yeah, he had one job: don’t play with guns in IG Live. That’s DON’T play with guns on IG Live. You can play with guns privately, you can appear on IG Live, you can do all the fun things that a multi-millionaire superstar can do, just DON’T play with guns on IG Live.

Funny, I thought his analysis wasn’t as conclusive. Somewhere after the 3 minute mark he says it’s clearly derivative, but the melody, lyrics, and chorus are completely different.

Rick Beato compared the two songs and explained the musical similarities and differences in a way that’s very understandable even to non-musicians:

Also, fcuk F1 for sports-washing Azerbaijan’s warmongering dictatorial regime through their race in Baku.

Credit card statement wouldn’t be enough?

I wonder if his Cambridge debate with Buckley will make it into the biopic; I first heard Baldwin speak by reading article commemorating an anniversary of the debate with links videos of the debate. His story about how Buckley was afraid of sharing an elevator with him was interesting too.

Are you blind or are you hoping that we are? They shove her out of the way and beat her black friend, you can also hear a woman yell “beat HIS ass!” Not great, but also not “white woman gets dragged by her hair and beaten by a mob.”
