Watched Snowpiercer last night. Not bad. Think I fell asleep during the last 20ish minutes though.

Million Dollar Baby is on tv and I just wanted to take a moment to express my thought that is one of the worst movies of all time.

off-brand take for the blogs premier #1 women's sports connoisseur

is it just the ending that turns you off? or the who show? clint eastwood?
if it had just a normal rocky ending, where would it rate?

I'd also like to hear this.

They were beyond helpful and accommodating to her. That video was both funny and infuriating.

Someone should @ me when we're down to like 15 laps, or something.

Drip....  Drip.... Drip....

Trump knows. He’s known this the whole time.

The plan is coming together and there’s nothing they can do to stop it now.

Wanna bet?

The thing that boggles my mind is that they don't really feel shame or the need to reevaluate their beliefs even when they are forced to admit they got duped.

Will be fun to see how you react when you realize that you are actually the one who’s been duped when you finally awaken.

Stay tuned.

 :sdeek: My face if/when that actually happens.

Amazing thread.

The plot thickens.

POTUS has it ALL.

Busting out the classics, eh? Nice. I was thinking of throwing some Steely Dan on the turntable, myself.

Yeah, I'm sure he makes a practice of blocking everyone he doesn't know from leaving the community for 30 minutes, probably right, nothing unusual about that at all.

I'll help you out, it's racist, very much so in fact. Your soft pedaling of this incident is also racist.

You made the decision to "watch about 5 blurry seconds of that guy's behavior" and used that to close the book on this issue. You could have read the article, or watched the entire unedited video. You didn't do that, all would have been a better use of your time instead of going back and forth with me.

David Stewart's racist act was that he allowed his bias to blind him to the fact that these guys were clearly working. They were wearing uniforms with their names and the freight company's name on the uniforms and the truck they were driving. There was no reason to suspect that these gentlemen were doing anything other than delivering freight.

Your racist act is a refusal to acknowledge the aggressions of these men and acknowledge the very obvious racial bias they are showing. Your need for some nebulous proof of the racism gives safe harbor for these things to continue. When they do happen the burden of seeing theses things out to a result where no one gets killed or arrested falls squarely on the gentlemen doing nothing but trying to put in an honest days work. Your type of racism, the kind that allows actions based on biases to thrive, is the absolute worst kind. It's the kind that causes the most stress in the lives of black and brown people. So why people of your ilk look down at the McMichael's of the world, it's you that make our lives hard, every damn day. There's nothing anyone can tell you about the harms of bias or aggressions, micro or macro that can make you change your mind. You have a very narrow definition of what's racist. It's not because you don't want to end racism, it's much more important to you that you can look at yourself and feel like you aren't one of them.

You should be disgusted that these guys, just trying to make an honest living, can't have their work day interrupted, but it's just yawning indifference because that guy didn't call them niggers.

Like I said when I posted the tweet, y'all always have the option to just leave us the eff alone.

Sleep well, spracne.

I've been pretty clear that all I did was watch the video in the Tweet. You're probably correct, in large part. I'm just trying to be consistent.

Still didn't answer the simple question, it's okay, you pretty much did.

Well it's a dumb question. I don't know the guy. What frame of reference do I have for determining whether this rando has blocked other vehicles in front of the gate? I'm just saying the guy hasn't even been charged with a crime as far as I know. I'm going to reserve judgment before dragging his name through the mud.

I don’t know. Do you think he detained them because they were in a cargo truck or because they were black?

I don't think those are the only two potential reasons. And ultimately, I don't know what his problem was. I've only seen about 30 seconds of video, and a blurry 5 seconds of the guy.

What are you having a hard time understanding?

Well, I was primed for some bona fide racist content, but I need more information before I brand him a racist. He could just be an bad person, for all I know.

Do you think it is standard operating procedure for him to block in the vehicles of unknown white people he sees leaving the community? That'd be a full time job, no? I'm certain he would have long lost his job as the association's keeper of caucasity if he was doing that to white folks.

It's very amusing to me when supposedly woke people expect things like this to not be proven racism. Are we looking for homie to be wearing a klan costume while holding a rope and calling the dudes in the truck coons before the standard is met?

No, I'm not saying he's not racist. I'm just saying I'm not sure based on the brief footage I saw. Gun to my head, I would say more likely than not it was racially motivated, but I also don't support publicly shaming someone based on less-than-convincing evidence.

Why did you avoid my question to you about him literally using his vehicle to block white motorists or delivery drivers coming out of that gated community? I'll ask again.

Do you think he's ever used his car to block a white driver, for over 30 minutes, from leaving that community?

At the very least this guy is guilt of unconscious bias. That's racism, that gets people killed. Another question.

What do you think happens if those two truck drivers get out of the truck and act as aggressive as they did?

Look, man, I watched about 5 blurry seconds of that guy's behavior. The rest is just supposition. I don't know whether he ordinarily is a Karen or not.

It's an 80s kind of night, so time to mix up some Harvey Wallbangers and listen to some motherfucking Styx.
New faux 80s is a guilty pleasure of mine. After styx listen to Bad Feeling by Cobra Man

I bet this is something you've never heard/seen. Feel free to skip the first 30 seconds:

for me, these two articles, especially the npr piece, pretty much put the reade allegations to bed.  i no longer consider it accurate to state that biden has been credibly accused of rape.

Sorrento Therapeutics of San Diego said Friday that an antibody it has been developing proved highly effective in blocking the novel coronavirus in laboratory experiments — a possible first step in the creation of a drug cocktail to battle COVID-19.

they're talking huge game on this thing. it better come through. stock up 158% today.

Yeah, if they're full of crap, that's securities fraud city.

Edit: Might buy a share just to acquire standing.

In for 5 whole shares. See you on easy street.

To be clear, you'll probably get like $10 out of this. I will reap millions.
