As an NBA fan, no one being able to repeat over the past 5 years has honestly been the best thing that has happened to the league.
Those “Cavaliers vs Warriors” years were brutal
a lot of you aren’t good listeners, not because of self-diagnosed adhd, but because you don’t have a genuine interest in other people. you don’t care enough to listen.
Y’all talking about Project 2025. Meanwhile, Dems are trying to be social media influencers, selling merch and making snarky comments. Biden is funding police at record highs while Cop Cities are being built in Dem run cities. It looks like Dems want it as much as the GOP does.
The late Patrice Lumumba was the first legally elected prime minister of D.R Congo.
He was assassinated in 1961 following a military coup supported by U.S.A & Belgian imperialism which was admitted by US State Dept in 2013 authorized by president Eisenhower.

My grandpa once said…
“Hip Hop is not my thing. But don’t you let them people do to your Hip Hop what they did to my Jazz.”
And I think about that often.
This beef made me realize rap/hip hop is still a underrated genre and most ppl who think they listen to rap actually like pop music. Pop is your favorite genre not rap lol
James Baldwin: "I’m terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long, they really don’t think I’m human. I base this on their conduct, not on what they say... they have become moral monsters."
the "GOATS" of rap are having a corporate rap beef, sowing even more division than there already was. meanwhile, Macklemore the only rapper with a large platform speaking up for Palestine. the rap game faker than the WWE
Nuance being in short supply is the goal of the oppressors they want us to be limited in our imagination of how things can be. We need to be way more nuanced culturally.
This is why reporters don't want to speak to the designated spokesperson. They know they'll get a cogent, thorough explanation of what the movement's demands are and that's disappointing for reporters hoping to portray an entitled hateful mob.
It is said that Martin Luther King Jr. loved shooting pool and watching Star Trek.
Malcolm X loved taking pictures and listening to jazz.
I’m saying this to say activists, revolutionaries, and freedom fighters from the past enjoyed things in life. They were not fighting 24 hours a day. They enjoyed things. They smiled. They loved laughing with their friends and family. They had a sense of humor. They played sports. They danced. They were regular people.
Stop using the iconicized versions of these people to shame folks who find joy in “regular” things. Stop making it seem like enjoying things in life are against the “rules” of struggling for liberation. Stop flattening these human beings into being seen as two dimensional hero characters to be worshiped and weaponized.
