The president is doing insider trading, but you all would rather pay attention to transgender people instead.

There’s been 24 African Americans found hanging from trees since last March.

All ruled suicide.

Black people don’t hang themselves.

Did you guys hear about the woman in Iran who was sentenced to 12 years in prison because authorities believed her stillbirth was an abortion?
Nevermind y'all, my mistake, that happened in Oklahoma

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Russell Westbrook retired today with the most triple-doubles in NBA history. The name written on his wrist for all 18 seasons belongs to the kid UCLA actually wanted. That kid died at 16, and Westbrook spent two decades playing for both of them.

Westbrook was a 5'8", 140-pound freshman that no college recruited. The call UCLA's head coach made to his high school in 2004 was about Khelcey Barrs III, Westbrook's best friend from across the street in Hawthorne. A 6'6" phenom pulling scholarship offers as a sophomore. The two had a pact to play at UCLA together, then the NBA.

In May 2004, during a pickup game at LA Southwest College, Barrs collapsed on the court. An undiagnosed enlarged heart.

Westbrook walked across the street every morning after that to do his friend's chores at his grandmother's house. Then he grew 7 inches, averaged 25 a game as a junior, and took the UCLA offer they were supposed to accept together. From that point on he played like a man carrying two careers.

The numbers he put up look like typos.

209 triple-doubles is the most in NBA history, and it took breaking Oscar Robertson's record that stood for 47 years. In 2017 he averaged a triple-double across an entire season, something no human had done since 1962, then did it three more times. 27,176 points, 14th all time. 10,351 assists, 5th all time, behind only Stockton, CP3, Kidd, and LeBron. He did all of it at 6'3" in a league of giants, and outlasted the franchise that drafted him. Seattle picked him 4th in 2008 and stopped existing before he played a game.

And in every one of his 1,301 games, he wore two wristbands. One said KB3. The other said "Why not?"

People spent 18 years asking why he played every possession like the building was on fire. He was playing for two.

Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end.

You had to be there. And now it’s over.

Why did the media not cover the Ashley St. Clair statement in any depth?

Should have been front page headlines, but appears to have been deprived of any oxygen.

Maybe one day…

you will move heaven and earth to stop a 16year old from getting an abortion
but won’t move a finger to keep a 45year old man away from 16year olds.
Priorities.

Heard a story of an AAU coach who put all 10 of his players on the floor at tip off. The refs told him that 5 needed to get off the court. He didn't and got a tech. He turned to the parents behind the bench and said, "See, I told you that they all couldn't start!"

If AOC freezing her eggs bothers you, wait until you find out women can make reproductive decisions without running them by you first.

BOOMER: "Nobody wants to work anymore."

YOU: "I work 50 hours a week."

BOOMER: "Doing what, on a computer?"

YOU: "Yes. It pays $58,000."

BOOMER: "I made $18,000 and owned a house."

YOU: "That's the whole point."

BOOMER: "We didn't complain, we just worked."

YOU: "You worked one job and got a pension. I work one job and get a 401k match if I'm lucky."

BOOMER: "Nobody handed me anything."

YOU: "College was $600 a year. Your first house was 2x your salary. Your employer covered your family's health insurance."

BOOMER: "That was normal back then."

YOU: "Exactly. It was normal. Now it's impossible."

BOOMER: "So what do you want, a handout?"

YOU: "I want what was normal."

BOOMER: *silent*

You didn't outwork us.

You just lived in the version of the country where working was enough.

“You’ve got some motherf-cker who’s made over $251 billion being a United States citizen, that got here and stayed here illegally before he got his citizenship, sitting here lecturing us on who we should allow into the US”
