Decided to tap into the Substack gimmick and just start yappin' about stuff that I find interesting. I figured it's a good way to keep the writing skills sharp and start experimenting with different things.

Anyway, a future congrats to Lubbock and Tempe.

Wow, I would have no idea that 6'5 Australian TERA-CHAD Androgenic has flown to U.S and BONESMASHMAXXED in order to HUNT down the ASU frat leader and engage in a MOG-OFF to avenge Clavicular after the
BRUTAL frame mog incident that took place last week. Thank you for this information.

RIP to Jesse Jackson, who in this debate w/David Duke in 1977 delivered (until the host cut him off) a message of unity and against "national isolationism" that's important to hear today. He also ended the show w/one of the sickest burns ever directed at Duke: "You're not even a legitimate Klansman"

My mom pulled me out of school when I was eight to attend this protest in Tallahassee. I didn’t really understand what was going on at the time until years later, but knew it was a big deal because Jesse Jackson was there.

He’s right that’s why I’m endorsing Cody Rhodes
Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

To celebrate black history month, I’m building a Time Machine to go back in time and show Thurgood Marshall Lamar Jackson highlights. He’d lose his mind.

Allan Houston looks like he could still come off the bench for like 10 minutes a game. Just spot him up in the corner.
