It's the most liberating feeling when you finally attain this skill and do it right. No more bringing four pairs of sneakers on vacation! What the hell for?! And don't let it be a washing machine on the premises.

Sincerely hope she's okay but I feel like she might be done for the series. (I hope I'm wrong.) Mercury dug in deep tonight.

That Aces/Mercury game was something else. I know the story of the game will be A’ja but bruh… if Copper doesn’t come alive after Sabally went down? Man, listen.

I have a couple heavy jackets but nothing full length like this. And what's a car coat? I've never heard of that.

Dee Phunk @deephunk.bsky.social · 1d

It's been a goal of mine to own one insane coat. Then I moved to LA where you don't really need coats and that urge subsided. Thanks Colman Domingo for reigniting this.

So you're saying Life of a Showgirl is kinda like how I felt on September 28, 1998 (two days after I turned 20 years old) after getting home from purchasing ATCQ's The Love Movement at Tower Records? Well, when you put it that way...

It is SUCH a formative experience the first time your favorite artist releases a bad album. I envy all the kids going through it this week, you’re about to learn so much about the world! You’re learning how to let go!

It’s *sooooo* fun to go back and look at the demographic breakdown of voters in the 2024 election to see exactly how we got here. And why? Because the thought of a woman running the country (*AND* in 2016) seemed too outlandish to some.

This country is barreling head first into something and I think we’re all going to find out what pretty soon.

They’re gonna shame TS into texting Ice Spice for another feature and it’s gonna work and they’re forget all about the mediocrity again.

Working the prize booth at my kids’ school carnival and met one of the new dads. His name is José Luis and he’s blessed bc I’ll never forget his name now. I’ll always associate him w/ N.O.R.E.

Your analogy is spot on whether you realize it or not. There is actual lore attached to her discography. (Of which I know none bc I also have never listened to a TS album.)

I really thought Subramaranian was gonna give him the business w/ all that tough "consequences for your actions" talk... only to give him 50 months? I thought it was gonna be at least double that. I can't wait to logoff today.

Everyone is different but my 30s were the best times of my life. I think in general you're more perceptive, you have more clarity, you're able to discern things better... I'd say just go w/ your gut as much as humanly possible. Bask in your independence. Trust yourself above all.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

"Laid back and watched the Knicks smack the Sixers in Abu Dhabi, in front of Fat Joe and Steve Harvey" sounds like an Action Bronson lyric but that's exactly what happened.

Disney started clearing house in 2023 and 2024 by getting rid of a bunch of skilled journalists and on-air talent in favor of ppl who like to talk really loud and have a high probability of getting clipped and posted for social media. This is by design.

I don’t know why now I get disappointed at the lack of actually good coverage by ESPN….. between Ryan Clark’s hot takes, Stephen A being horrible and letting folks like Rex Ryan talk….. we losing recipes

1) Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican. PUERTO RICAN.

2) This is exactly why he didn't tour the U.S.

3) The NFL is gonna be dead silent on this.

“.. We will find you. We will apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility, and we will deport you. So know that that is a very real situation under this administration, which is completely contrary to what how it used to be,” he said.

The Knicks playing in Abu Dhabi today at 9am Pacific time should provide a decent yet temporary distraction from everything that sucks.

No one warned me that buying a brand new sofa and swivel chairs for a living room was basically buying an indoor parkour gym for a 6-year old.

This judge has turned down every request for him to walk out of that jail. And Cassie sent another letter reminding everybody that everyone’s safer w/ him in there. Puff ain’t seeing no parts of freedom, man.
