Its interesting to watch the country lean in so hard on cherishing unqualified uncouth whiteness as I avoid going to my ivy league reunion. Its very clear I'd be further along in life if I could be young white and/or male and incompetent right now instead of a seasoned, highly educated black woman
A little tip nobody asked for: I discovered putting jalapeño "mild" tabasco hot sauce on my chili instead of sitting up here chopping actual peppers is much easier and just as yummy
are you up to date on paradise? my nerves are already shredded to bits halfway into the season
Its nice living in a country where we're all doing so well the gov't can afford to do fun little things like start wars just for ishts & gigs
I saw Dr Pepper flavored Peeps at dollar general. I wish I'd taken a picture instead of just talking myself out of buying them.
of all the oscar nominated movies that aren't sinners, which will I be glad I watched if I put it on tonight?
I saw an ad for "antiwoke coffee" It felt like a spoof but was a real commercial. I didnt know woke coffee was a thing. The only political coffee take I'm aware of is liberals boycotting starbucks for palestine. The tag was that its roasted in the USA. So?! Where are the beans from.. exactly.
I couldnt remember us specifically discussing it, I just somehow knew you were precociously watching this back in the day.
@slb79.bsky.social I just noticed that moonlighting is available on hulu. I for some reason thought you might be able to use that information.
Hulu didnt have to drop 3 new episodes of Paradise at once but to be fair I didnt have to binge them.
update on the podcast. Ryan Michelle Bathe (sterling k browns wife) hosts it and it was cute but the recap portion was very basic
because firstly, not only do I remember blackplanet, I'm old enough to have worked for blackplanet as a grown up job. The *oldhead* in this scenario was a young bul outnumbered by a couple of really young buls
I'm checking out at the store and I overhear one worker in the back say to the other one, "man, what u meanyou don't remember blackplanet?!!" Other dude goes comes out talking to my cashier "yo why old nigs always gotta be mad when you don't know about old nig ish?" I, a crone, laughed out loud.
I think I'm gonna try listening to the official podcast
SO Ready! I screamed when I saw the ad for it.
First of all, seeded rolls and pats are 2 of the things I STRICTLY avoid when it comes to cheesesteaks. Why Pats when Genos is right there and much better? Why either when you literally have to pass by several better non-tourist trappy cheesesteak spots to get over there?
everything going on in this world and the local fox affiliate 6:00 news is talmbout Pats Steaks' limited time only seeded roll.
One of the most illuminating aspects of the epstein stuff is how completely different my girlhood was than what girls are growing up knowing now. The main message we got was dont have sex and get pregnant or an std. Nobody brought up being trafficked.
we know for a fact, for example some animals can sense electricity or the earth's magnetic field whereas we can't. And thats just what we know other living things do that we can't. it would be obnoxius to believe we've got everything in existence covered.
Spotify is doing its job keeping me devoted to their platform with the very specific AI playlist features. i Had it make a playlist of songs I played 2x or more before 2022 and it’s exactly every song I was trying to think of but couldn’t remember.
i hate being unhungry, too lazy to make something to eat, and yet fully aware that I'll wish I'd eaten a square meal only after I've brushed my teeth.
im Friday tired but today is not Friday and im taking it personally. Grr.
Being a US history buff can be ugly but theres always more interesting ways to learn
Skip gates' latest pbs doc Black& Jewish is pretty interesting, I know its in my wheelhouse because Ive had 2 of the commentators as professors and one is married to a friend of mine. Is this the liberal elite intellectual bubble?
Finding your roots episodes about regular shmegular white folks are totes DEI. They just look their names up and lickety split they find baptismal records from the 1700s. Big whoop.
I'm full of complaints today, but I want someone to feel me when I say how much I hate when people say "utilize" when "use" would do.
clearing my mind of a complaint: bad enough applying for jobs but why the algorithm gotta serve me ads related to places I applied?this is the worst timeline.
these xennial-targeted superbowl ads are pissing me completely off.
Its too cold to be acting up on broad street tonite anyway so its still go birds. I'll never root pats but the upside of a pats win would be that some masshole will definitely get the frostbite he deserves.
I lived in la a long time before coming back east but this is the first philly winter in 4 years I miss the weather. Avoiding this subfreezing winds nonsense is exactly why people live in socal.
