So let me get this straight…
You can shove your fist into a player’s fucking throat while she’s lying defenseless on the ground, and the WNBA thinks that’s only worth a ONE game suspension?
Absolutely disgraceful.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
I stopped using X/Twitter for a few months and I now feel soo much happier and lighter. Sometimes I’ll go back on X/Twitter to see what’s going on. (Like today)
I immediately get reminded why I stopped looking at X/Twitter in the first place.
Life is soo much better without it.

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.
So-called “black activists” rally around the worst of the worst because they themselves are dysfunctional, degenerate, morally repugnant parasites who contribute nothing to society.
That’s why I run from anyone labeled a “black activist.”
@iamrodneysmith isn’t one. He’s actually making society better.
Through his 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids nationwide have signed up to mow lawns for free for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents.
There are plenty of us doing real good work. We just don’t get the media’s attention. They platform the loudmouth losers instead.
Rodney King, OJ, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Karmelo Anthony. My entire life I have watched black activists rally around the most dysfunctional, degenerate, morally repugnant parasites imaginable. Celebrating and defending the absolute worst of the worst. People who contribute nothing to society. When’s the last time an actual virtuous and heroic black man won popular support in his own community? It seems that kind of black man is more likely to be shunned than celebrated.
If you live in a country that sends poor people to jail for using drugs, but doesn't send rich people to jail for raping kids, you live in a shit hole country.
