  1. the "happened to turn Black" line is so fucking hilarious though. like, you know, there is no way he himself believes it, but his belief in his own bullshit and the willingness of others to indulge him is so great that he went for it anyways..
  2. considering who it's directed at, and what her makeup is...... I wouldn't go there.
  3. That meme of Black Women getting ready to do it again has never been more appropriate.
  4. NABJ invited him. He accepted. Black Twitter had a big intra-fight about inviting him in the 1st place, and some people left the organization. Big worry was that he would do his usual bullshit and the optics would provide material for his campaign to use, saying he has Black support. The other difficult part, was that Harris had already stated she couldn't make it, and he had already begun to use that as a wedge... again not pissing many off at NABJ
  5. Yes, the woman who went to Howard University, and pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha just recently started identifying as Black.
  6. negatives - too handsome and has always been either a politician or a lawyer. what in the world. meanwhile, going to see if there are any great responses to the piece about Shapiro. Because it seems a lot of the problem for some people, with regards to him and Israel, is simply that he is Jewish
  7. I find it a bit incredulous that one can seriously think, that while trying to shore up a VP pick, get a streamlined message out and god knows what else, that Beto's campaign from 2018 is at the forefront of anyone's mind at the upper echelons of the DNC
  8. Bernie Sanders was reportedly trying to strong-arm the Harris campaign prior to his endorsement. Small wonder his followers take their lead from him
  9. Almost everyone has some legitimate issue they can feel righteous about. Trying to hold everyone else hostage to your one issue isn't it. Declining to vote Democrat because of Israel is an exercise in spite, not principle
  10. this is a bit off topic, and likely not of much interest here, but in my corner of the world, you sometimes get these pleas for athletes that are eligible to compete for African nations vs European nations or the US, to stick with African side... and then you get shit like this, and it reminds you why some people rightly would rather do otherwise... .... this on the heels of this, from 4 years ago
  11. she really does get up there.
  12. Wining a medal for your country in 96 years has to be quite the feeling.
  13. we've got some really likeable athletes...
  14. thanks. forgot about that rule. it's infuriating.
  15. how do these performances translate to the individual medals?
  16. was Chiles' mount too difficult? so far from what I've seen, it definitely looked like the hardest attempt.
  17. gymnastics has to be one of the most ridiculous things to even try and critique as a couch-watcher. you can lie to yourself about your ability to play basketball or run or swim.... because you did it at the local YMCA way back when gymnastics, its just watch and shut-up, because to even try one of these is permanent disability for me.. 😅
  18. Beam is the hardest right?
  19. don't give GRRM ideas
  20. The distance/time aspect of the show can bug me sometimes. Something happens on Dragonstone, and the next clip is two people discussing it at King's Landing what seems like the next evening. Dude gets a dragon, and it looks like a 5 minute ride from there to King's Landing, ditto the chase. Who is marching where and why does it take so long anyways. I know there are maps of all these places with distances, but if you stick to just watching the show itself, it's not communicated very well. GOT did much better on this point.
