  1. SO disappointed in that series finale, in season 8 in general. The writing and pacing was a wet diaper this season. The acting, music, cinematography was on point, but the writing was a kick in the balls for real. Fuck D&D, Dildo and Dingleberry. There are so many ways they could have made that final episode better.
  2. Alabama: 2nd in gun violence 46th in health care 50th in education 45th in opportunity for residents 45th in crimes and corrections 2nd in infant mortality rates No family or maternal leave laws in the state Half of the state's 67 counties have no obstetrician 5th highest child poverty rate in the country You call that pro-life? Hah! No one likes abortion, everyone would rather prevent unwanted pregnancies. The problem is the conservative and Republican policy of ignorance. Want to lower unwanted pregnancies and abortion rates? Stop standing in the way of access to birth control, sex education and healthcare. Abstinence is not and will never be an effective policy.
  3. There's a type of synergy going on with these evangelicals, MAGA, alt-right with these draconian abortion laws in places like Alabama and Georgia and with voter suppression places like South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The shared goal is the restoration of rigid hierarchies of gender and eventually race.
  4. Cersei when Qyburn got his wig split: She quickly and quietly dipped out. That shit was pretty funny.
  5. A great point a friend of mine brought up: They have Bran on their side. He can warg into ravens, birds, whatever, and fly ahead and scout for their ships as they sail south. Guess not. Bran is just gonna sit there and be relegated to uselessness again.
  6. How could I forget Melissandre, she had some big moments in this episode too.
  7. Lets take a moment to tip our hats to the Unsullied for guarding the retreat back into the Winterfell gates, they were the real ones. Also, did not fucking see that shit with Lyanna Mormont coming, she went out like a G though. House Mormont turned out to be the strongest riders for House Stark. RIP to the bears, Lyanna and Jorah. I loved Theon's redemption, it came full circle. What is dead may never die...
  8. Harden wasn't even seriously trying to make that last three, he was looking to be bailed out with a foul the whole time. He tried his best to sell it and the refs told him to go fuck himself. He pushed off on Draymond with his off hand on that last three point attempt anyway.
  9. Kinda concerned about Gilly and the kids in the crypt. A bunch of kids surrounding themselves with corpses versus an enemy that revives the dead? What could possibly go wrong?
  10. That episode was far too...wholesome. The calm before the storm. Ahh shit, death flags everywhere.
  11. I can't believe that guy didn't sell that ticket on that bet, especially after the Owens' injury on Saturday. 125k right out of the window.
  12. Even though they got thumped by Florida St. last night I can see why folks are really high on the kid from Murray St and he's definitely a top 3 pick. I can also see why they were a 12 seed, Morant had absolutely no help from his teammates.
  13. He's shown more outrage over this than the NZ white nationalist terrorist
  14. I'm friends with Jaylen's mother, it was gonna be Texas the whole time. I figured when the site kept crashing that he put out his announcement lol.
  15. As a black man I get a little ill on a cellular level every time I hear these two speak. This is some minstrel show like shit.
  16. Ah, but they can be illegal and work at his properties though.
  17. "I want people to come here, but I want them to come legally." - Trump "We don't want people from shithole countries." - also Trump
  18. To your second point I'm from Port Arthur, last year our school board changed the names of a couple of schools named after Confederate figures (Robert E. Lee Elementary and Dick Dowling Elementary) to something else. PA is mostly minority, black and Hispanic, people here were fine with the name change. A big stink was made on the local news media's Facebook page by folks that don't even live there, take a guess at who was mad. How do I personally feel about Malcolm X statues or streets named after him? I'm fine with it. As far as I know the only thing he did was be unapologetically black and upset the white supremacist power structure at the time. He didn't start a civil war.
  19. Should be left to the local citizens. If black folks want to name a street, school, whatever in their community after a Civil Rights figure such as Malcolm X then I'm all for it. That's much better than sending our kids to schools named after Confederate figures while living in a predominantly black area where the student body is mostly black for example.
  20. Is Malcolm X anywhere near on the same level as people that started a civil war that killed tens of thousands of people over keeping slavery? One wanted liberation for black people in an oppressive society, the other wanted to keep chattel slavery alive, hmm...
  21. I find it interesting that the same folks that wax poetic about the Confederacy (some to the point of having Civil War re-enactments) and getting angry whenever a Confederate monument is taken down are always quick to tell black people to get over slavery.
  22. Your past can disqualify you for a lot of things. This is disqualifying to be a leader in the Democratic party. He was something like 25 years old, that's a fully cooked man. He's had years to come forward about this picture yet he did not. He is a governor that was holding this kind of thing under lock and key.
  23. He is pulling a trump here The Dems need to stand up and demand that this behavior hasn't been normalized.
  24. Reid must have been trying to carry over those three OT timeouts like cell phone minutes in the early 2000s. Now he's carrying them hoes over to the offseason. Your porous defense is hands on hips dead tired the whole drive, burn a couple of timeouts to give em a break. All of those 3rd and longs? Really? Also, they couldn't manufacture one sack on Brady the whole game? They let Gronk punk them twice on 3rd and long when Brady was eyeing him in single coverage the whole way? Don't leave your DB on an island, bring help. And Roidleman gets on my damn nerves. I'm going to bed, LA is our last hope.
