A 26 page screed about what it's like too hate yourself for being black and for being a woman. I started out reading the paper smirking and wincing but then I kind of started to feel feel sorry for her. In person she probably a very toxic person to know. It is an interesting read. Yes it was interesting that by the end, the friend blocked her and just told her that she lacked the energy to deal with this stuff. That tracks.

Well, that's just your opinion.

@Copper said in Quietest Black History Month ever?: The public grade school children are learning all about skin color, good and bad. FIFY.

Politicians are just freakin' strange.

@Horace said in FBI Director's Enemies List: He got McConnell's vote. The two centrist ladies were a no. I'm sure a deal was cut. Matters not. The mission of the FBI will change and that is good.

Agree. Probably shouldnt have said anything. Still, I think the punishment did not fit the crime. Wasnt like she was mean or anything. But, i am sure he has a tough time there. Or anywhere. Just like any kid of a famous person. Most of the people only want to get close to them because of who their parent(s) are. I think it would make you fairly "distrustful" of meeting people and making friends. Fortunately, I dont have to deal with that. 555

Yup, if they can already have it ban alcohol, tobacco, and hot foods, no reason they could not code it to not allow other things.

I guess that shows dietary cholesterol is a factor after all. Not a fan of Keto.

nice

Lol

@89th said in Pride of the Fleet: On a serious note, I have no problem with increased spending on innovation and military strength. At the end of the day, it is the single most important thing that keeps our country safe. Hmmm … DOGE hasn’t got to the Pentagon yet. Maybe there is no efficiency to be gained from the defense procurement programs?

No. I think we dropped off in the second or third. Lost interest.

Doesn’t have anywhere near as good of a soundtrack as Exodus…

Speaking of hanging out I’ll be in Minneapolis this fall. I’ll keep you posted.

@Jolly said in Why the NBA sucks these days: Give you another one...I don't mind letting guys and gals play, but basketball has devolved to jungle ball. I routinely see hand-checking, traveling, turning the ball over on the dribble, etc. Tighten up the officiating. Basketball is a game with a lot of finesse, let's see more of it. I’d like them to go back to 80’s style D rules.
