Getting away from Elon Musk. South Floridian. We in Lauderdale are not like the rest of the state. Black. Skinny. Taken. FAMU graduate ('01/'03). Gen X. Sports fan. Into a bit of...not everything, but a lot of stuff.
Saquon run, Saquon run, incomplete pass. Way too many Eagles possessions have gone that way.

In South Florida we used to call undesirable/unkempt women "foot draggers" or "dirty foots" back in the 90s. Someone even had a song about it, so it was a pretty popular term locally.
TRUE CONFESSIONS
My daughter (an adult) drags her sandaled feet through the house like she is four years old.
How did she forget how to walk by lifting her feet?
Am I the only person who can't stand to hear people who wear slippers or sandals drag their feet when they walk?
It's just me, huh?

Crazy as this sounds...Captain America: Civil War is my favorite MCU movie - and I will never watch it again. I felt Tony's perspective at the end way too much.
What's a movie you really enjoyed, but would never watch again?

I only use the mute button within the Blacksky tab. First dumb thing I see, that person is muted. There is enough traffic on Blacksky that they won't be missed.
I wanna be petty today. 😌
Do yall use the mute button much and if so what criteria falls under this person needs to be muted for you?

Depends on the person asking, how they ask, and my mood. Black people get much more polite responses: I may even try to help them. Others get anything from a glare to a response that lets them know not to ask that question to anyone of color without a nametag.
Black People: When you're out shopping and someone asks "Do you work here?" What do you say? 🤔🤔🤔

I'm actually rooting for Kial over Carlton at this point. Carlton just moves in a way that's half goofy and half slimy. #BeyondTheGates

At the risk of sounding #WellActually, I'm canceling my ESPN+ next week since they won't have UFC anymore (Saturday is the last event before the move to Paramount+).
I need to get ESPN+ again so I can watch MMA 🥹🥹🥹
“This is just a test” gotta be one of the coldest lines ever delivered before a knockout.

Well, this is certainly happening now.
Some of the blame for this Eagles offense has to go to #1 at some point.

I'm at my cousin's wedding reception and they just did a church roll call - as in "if you attend (church name here), please stand". My family is so black.

Post Malone...so, yup.
Gotta give a compromise for the Super Bowl. I’m sure Jerry will have some redneck in boots screaming gawd bless murica.
Well that was an interesting halftime show.

LOL...I am literally watching a piece on the history/beginnings of cranberry sauce on The Food That Built America right now.
Cranberries were never meant to be sauce. Cheese wasn’t meant to be cake. I’m not arguing with ppl who never had blood on their shirt 😭
