"Close the Northern border" was heard on the network broadcast, Brady, you chud.

Sure. That's pretty much done. But it isn't the Church, it's the American Christian-Nationalists wing and it doesn't get its power from Rome. It's the Opus Deis and Lenord Leos, and power they certainly have. But they don't give one damn about what the Pope says.

A US born pope was chosen for a reason and that reason is NOT to make nice with the Rad Trad hypochristians who are trying to take over the Church in the US. Dude is fill of shit and Papa will not play that game. This is all RadTrad propaganda.

I have Autistic children I understand triggers and the spectrum. I also have mental illness and would sooner perish than blame someone I hurt because of my illness for the hurt I, myself caused. Centuries of expecting Black people not to react and to always give grace, no matter what, not ok.

Agreed

Don't care. His public statement was garbage. He has mortified my two friends with tourettes, both of whom managed to live over 50 years without even once shouting a racial slur. AND it is not the responsibility of Black men to accept any apology from someone who did them harm. That's nonsense.

I did. He made himself the victim, did NOT apologize, and didn't change my mind that he's a garbage human. YOU can accept that shit but I will not. Having a disability does not magically erase assholery.

Dude is spare parts.

My kid is one of, as he puts it, "the expendables" too. It's infuriating. If it only affected them, fine. Good. But the disregard for the very lives of others is shameful shit.

It's a shitty culture all round

That would be UNC, NC State would never.

US men's hockey is a cesspool of homophobia, misogyny, and Christian Nationalism. The Jr's program has kids leaving home at 16 to train while living with weirdo, fundy, "good Christian" families. Empathetic young men of integrity are rarely a product of that system.

"Derp, derp, I'm an athlete, politics mean nothing to dumb old me."
What a dick.

Exactly, and I'm getting pretty fucking fed up with men writing pithy "satire" and edgy jokes.

These people need to lose their seats at the table of civilty

It's weird that because of ear buds he's my only kid who I don't really know what he's listening to. He's 10 yrs younger than his next brother. I'm usually surprised when he shares his stuff. And I think you're spot on with a need for soothing sounds. Sabbath, a fave at 5 now makes him "anxious"

My 90 yr old MIL played half-court BBall in college and she LOVES Flav.

Rodeo Clown, preacher, rattlesnake breeder, I'd buy it.

He's another one who we don't need to hear shit from ever again

Good.

My 21 yr old is big into Marty Robbins now. I didn't know he had even heard of Marty Robbins but it doesn't suck. Current stuff he listens to is mostly World Music that my 85 year old Dad digs too. We figure it's just rebellion against Punk/ Metal/Acid Rock parent-music.

Don't do Wanda like that.

He's the boss of supporting women in sport. And we old women athletes of yore appreciate the fuck out of him.

Apparently. How embarrassing

TBF the poster is a total kook. That whole conversation was the least wild thing about him.

I'm officially done with the NHL. OG Canes fan since G'boro days & a hockey-nut since 1975, this is the last straw for me. The anti-woman vibe has always been a thing but I don't love the game enough to keep excusing bad behavior and shitty politics. I'll go coach street hockey again and skip pros

Right? It's very odd to me that it's a song that the world has embraced. It's not a bad song but it's still weird to hear it 50+ years after it was a hit.

I was a dick. I apologize. Nothing you said was out of line. I am sincerely sorry.

Also of note was "Country Roads" by John Denver. Huge crowds singing their hearts out every night with a street performer in Trastevare. It was delightful indeed.

Of all the things I saw in Rome, people going mad for that and "Sweet Caroline" were the weirdest. And I saw a LOT of Saints' actual body parts on that trip.
