@albo_alt @conor64 It was controversial at the time, but Shaq never made a big deal out of it. Classic case of choosing the resume over your own eyes.

We had car door handle design figured out 80 years ago, and perfected about 20 years ago. What are we even doing now?

@FilmThePoliceLA One election, it was the only precinct in the entire city proper that went for Trump

@questlove across both of your recent docs, Sly’s memoir, and a hours of EWF interviews, there isn’t a lot of talk of James Brown. Did he rub other guys the wrong way? Is his influence less essential than we assume? Or is he so essential it goes without saying?

@FiddleElphier @AlexSalvati3 @janecoaston That’s county. Trump got 26.5% in the city

@TheProhmKing @samswey Works well when the counties are so small. My county would need to be split thirteen ways.

@constans I live five minutes from a Six Flags and I’ve been there twice in the last 20 years. Two rides and I’m sick for the next two days. Plus, they’ve given up on atmosphere. Some failed projects have been left to decay for decades.

Being an 8/10 NBA player must feel like you're at the top of the world. The only way to really screw that up is to get better. No one has more haters than a 9 or 10/10 player.
