My hair lady is the funniest person I know. Every time I’m there, she’s either talking to or talking about some guy she’s seeing and she’s so ruthless. Apparently they got into an argument and he tried to blame it on her not saying “I love you” and her response was “boy, go to hell”. I cackled.

I’m not sure this is fair. He does turn it up and down but I think everyone does the same with their personality. It’s not like this movie is aimed at Black audiences particularly but you can see through his trajectory that he’s finally feeling comfortable enough being more of himself publicly.

Timothée Chalamet Could Only ‘Wigga’ Out for So Long
Black culture was crucial to the actor’s Marty Supreme press tour, but apparently not his Oscar campaign.

This lineup is exactly what the Academy votership overhaul several years ago was going for: More room for genre. A year when the huge, popular movie with the black cast ISN'T the surprise "Oops" omission. And a more international look--nineteen nominations for foreign films this year.

Coogler believing in and taking over Michael B. Jordan’s career to turn him into a big movie star is going to be such an incredible story years from now.
‘SINNERS’ has broken history as the MOST-NOMINATED FILM OF ALL TIME at the Oscars with 16 nominations

Communities are rising up to stand against agents of the state roaming the streets and going door to door kidnapping everyone from children to elders and the best these losers can come up with is to not fight back because it may lead to some other violence. Cowards through and through.
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

They don’t fear any of that because their entire idea seems to be to frame themselves as the lesser of two evils by remaining quiet or offering the same flaccid ideas and reforms that have failed a million times before.
Democratic leaders need to fear being branded as collaborators more than they fear being called soft on crime

Really can’t understand why they would nuke the whole data ecosystem like this. I imagine it has something to do with gambling/prediction but really such a disservice to the game and the history and culture of data building and sharing in sports, especially football.
FBRef was not only a brilliant resource generally, it made so much WoSo data available that couldn’t be found elsewhere. Absolutely gutting for fans, data nerds, and those of us who feel these things shouldn’t merely be the preserve of people with lots of money

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Minneapolis schools are closing because non-white families can't go outside and Senate Dems are like "ok but you gotta buy some body cameras for ICE"
Minibus is out. Democrats were able to include some guardrails in about ICE:
-restricts ICE to spending $3.8 billion of its annual budget
on detention as opposed to being able to spend $10 billion
-$20 million that must be used for body cameras 1/

Not too long ago, there was a massive international protest that show that from having the license to kill as they pleased and holding city budgets hostage, that police are in fact the problem. ICE are just doing what police do all the time. Anything that ICE has done, you can find police doing.
The police aren't the problem. ICE is the problem.

my church and many other places of worship throughout the city have been forced to stop gathering in person because it's too dangerous, with no let-up in sight, directly because of this pastor's employer. Sorry that one of his services got disrupted for a minute
