At some point, someone needs to do an investigation into Black-focused & rap pods & how they laid the groundwork for Trump's 2nd term. All the jokes. All the casual sexism. All the anti-migrant talk. A lot of them not only fell for it, but spread it.
There needs to be a record.
Question: What's on everybody's Christmas menu? I'm hosting as usual, and not sure what I'm serving yet (minus some sides and dessert).
What y'all cooking?? I need ideas!
"I think plenty of people write about the men that surround football b/c that's the expectation. Mothers not only give bodies to the sport, theyβre giving birth to these players. They're also caring for them in a way that's different from the other people around them" - @traciecanada.bsky.social

Not me finally getting the tea on my parents' engagement. My mom said she broke up with my dad & went on...and ended up engaged to someone else before they finally got it right*.

I don't listen to NBA Youngboy's music, but I recognize he's one of the biggest artists in the world.

Umm...how are they ranked anywhere near USC???
CFB rankings have been trash this year.
I'm in the phase of life where I am (or want to be) the editor for all my family's obits. It pains me when I go to a funeral and the program has typos or the obit is written poorly.
One of my dad's brother's, my uncle Craig, just passed on Sat, so I'll be getting to work again.
It's my service.
He was....convicted?

Given the current climate, this was kinda clever, though many folks are still upset with Fallon.
But since free speech ppl are now anti-free speech, folks are adjusting while still trying to figure out how to say SOMEthing in this time.
