@Jolly said in You racist...: All the racist poo flinging at this point is nothing more than a rhetorical fight for societal domination. The equality train left the station a long time ago. Preach it.

It would be funny if...

Just heard on the radio: Joe Flacco winning Comeback Player of the Year over Damar Hamelin means that leading the Browns to the playoffs is even more surprising and amazing than literally coming back from the dead….

I was surprised Daniels was mocked as high. He fits what Payton wants, with better running ability. Daniels runs very well, but it's not his first choice. At LSU, they sometimes had to tell him to run more.

The Walter Payton award is perhaps the most coveted award in the league. That patch means something and once awarded, a player wears it on his jersey until he retires from the league. Good on him!

I know two young ladies with recent (within six or seven years) communication degrees. One is not working in media or in any type of communications. The other young lady got a job at a local TV station after working odd jobs for two years after graduation...And she started as a gopher, then writing copy, later as a cameraman and after several years at the station they are letting her do some production work. But it's been a long time dining on ramen noodles (local small-market TV doesn't pay much).

Apparently not a believer in the rule about avoiding appearances of impropriety.

Isn't it interesting how the word "insurrection" has been misapplied and cheapened? Just sayin'...

@89th said in "I deserve reparations, despite the fact...:": The real reparations have been in place for a while in the form of black grants and black admission and hiring preference. That’s John McWhorter’s argument.

And the 2023 US trade deficit is the lowest it has been in 14 years!!! Thank you President Biden!! https://menafn.com/1107826613/US-trade-deficit-shrinks-for-2023-amid-falling-imports-increasing-exports

Note it says you just have to self-identify as any of those demographic categories. My name is now La89th Key btw.

I know most of them very well. Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere, But Not Here, is an amazing more modern effort in the genre. Strangely enough I never got into Marillion, I will have to stream that one. Funkadelic was never even on my radar. lol Coheed And Cambria is another one I have not heard. I have been meaning to dive into their catalog and was just thinking about it yesterday. I just purchased a new pair of tower speakers that are designed and engineered in Germany. Built in China of course because at this time I can't afford to buy things with high labor costs. lol They sound amazing though and I have been breaking them in over the past week. Been listening to hours and hours of Jazz, Classical, Progressive Rock.

@George-K said in The Hit Pieces: She never really offers her opinion, just re-tweets what's already out there, and you can judge who's the crazy one. She's becoming more activist though, outside of twitter. She does the podcast circuit, and she joined some conservative think tank or board recently. I really like her, from the interviews I've heard. She is unafraid to embrace the tribal hate she's the target of, from the midwit leftist masses.

@Aqua-Letifer said in Next Pirates of the Caribbean!: Please don't ever start teaching literature. What have I gone and done done now? Teach? Hell, no! Tried it, sucked at it. I do however reckon I could bang out a couple of amusing novels during my retirement.

I worked with two guys from South Africa at the university. Both of them good, smart guys. Also worked with a South African heart surgeon. We got along well, and he did good work.
