Rewatching Cool Runnings the other day and I want to bring back the cliche “well that all depends, who’s asking” when companies call you and demand to know who they’re speaking to before they even say who they are representing XD
I’m old.

I've been saying, loudly, for decades that self-proclaimed so-called "audiophiles" are 100% FULL OF SHIT
I HATED serving them when I worked in retail (&sold audio equipment), they're all so fuckin' PRETENTIOUS.
so it's very satisfying to see em continually exposed as know-nothing deadbrain posers 🤣

I bet people would buy a $100+ ticket from any stadium who refuses to host the game as protest against FIFA's bs if they offered it to cover costs lol
Apparently people aren't excited about spending $56,000 per ticket to attend a World Cup game.
Hmmm, what else could be contributing to a lack of hype?

may or may not have just browsed a torrent site looking for a movie to watch.
it seems that Hollywood finally found a solution for illegal downloads:
they make such shitty movies, it's not worth downloading any of them.

If you ask a Mexican person if the food they're eating is spicy, you cannot trust the answer.
You might hear "a little", "it has spice", or the classic: "No, it's not spicy at all."
For years, I thought this was a national inside joke. The truth is much weirder and retrospectively obvious (1/x)

Nope, the former. Just lock your account, delete your tweets, & don't use it. As many of us have done.
The claim that you must be there, as a Democratic politician, journalist, scholar, university admin/dept/school, public intellectual, etc., posting away, every day, at the Nazi Bar, is the issue.

It seems like the issue is what we all mean by "be there".
Be active? No one has to be active.
But be ON the service at all? That's a more nuanced issue I think.
I assumed @mcopelov.bsky.social was referring to the latter, but if it was the former, I apologize.

I can't find my debit card even though I know it's in the house somewhere, so I'm at the point of either doubling down again for another three days of searching...or ordering a new one 😂 🤔 😭

What folks have to understand is that for the generation of black men, like Flav & I, who grew up (during 70's & 80's) poor & in constant physical & emotional threat, from the State & negative forces in our community, we never imagined surviving to 40, much less 60, so every moment is a blessing.
