A brilliant coach but the game has passed him by 100%. Him getting into this current era of college ball was a massive mistake

This is probably just a coping mechanism on my part but that's legit the only thing that's keeping me from actually having stress over these folks. They're all just complete dumb asses. A toilet seat would beat them in a trivia contest.

I can't take these folks seriously, I'm sorry. I know they have a lot of power and seeing this country backslide is so disturbing but they're all dipshits, man. I can't respect a dipshit.

Are you a non-Black person pissed at Bluesky leadership and feeling a little jealous of all the good vibes coming from Blacksky?

There are Blacksky adjacent options for you! Here’s info from the Blacksky migration guide!

Screengrab from Blacksky migration guide:

blacksky algorithms

Suspension of accts from Bluesky has called into question the mission and very existence of Blacksky. "If bsky can still suspend you, what's the point?"

For one usually Bluesky doesn't just suspend you. They delete all of your data AND suspend you. Moving to Blacksky prevents that. 4/11

Got to admit I was dead wrong about the LeBron announcement. I thought there was no way it wasn’t going to be an Amazon ad. Turns out it was a Hennessy ad. That’s on me.

Yeah it's less like people are actually pushing this for the sake of getting justice for the victims and more for "lol trump sucks. Of course the latter is part of it but if we're not doing this as a way to address the pervasiveness of sexual/child assault in this country then what are we doing?

It is with a heavy heart that I must confirm the rumors that going outside and getting direct sunlight, drinking lots of water, eating balanced meals with veggies and fiber, and walking a lot DOES actually make me feel better.

So yeah, this all just annoys me mainly bc I should've been smarter about realizing the impact these doofuses had because I was too busy laughing at them being idiots and not realizing they (horrifyingly) had their finger on the pulse in this country. Let them get cooked like they deserve!

Kamala was going on 60 Minutes and doing the normal media rounds and meanwhile Trump was being asked by Theo Von about watching his rich friends do cocaine and then people (including me) were shocked to see college campuses flooded with MAGA hats on election day.

The reason why this pisses me off so much is because the one thing Schulz and these dweebs were right about is that they did have an impact on swaying people last November. Trump didn't need to run a normal campaign (again) because these dim lightbulbs replaced the normal news cycle for him!

"Oh, I thought Trump was going to stop the wars, lower the cost of living and only get the criminals out of here, I didn't know he'd be doing all of this"

So you're either stupid or lying or maybe both, idk!
