They were my go-to bags before the corporate shenanigans. Still have a few of their pieces. Now that I know the owners have bought them back, gonna start looking at them again. Peak Design just ain’t quite cutting it for me.

Getting into a good book or series for me is dangerous because it can take over my life. Lose sleep, call off work, turn hermit, … some of my TBR list exist because I’m afraid they’ll be too engaging to the exclusion of everything else.

I love entertainment and have backlogs of everything simply because there isn’t enough time in the day to do it all. Granted, I also waste an inordinate amount of time on the socials, YouTube, and TikTok (when the algorithm gets ya, it gets ya).

I’m in the process of eating my first ever Tootsie Roll lollipop and seriously, this is just too much. I’ve never ever thought eating a lollipop was too much work until this. It’s just too large and unwieldy. Still yummy mind.

Still reading it. My wife says she knows I love it because I keep giggling while reading it. I wasn’t even aware I was doing it so much.

Can you really call them “culture wars” if the power is predominantly on one side? If the “war” is asymmetric? More akin to liberation / independence struggles. But of course this doesn’t fit the “both sides” binary the media has glorified.

It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.

This is a perfect illustration of why I have no faith in US mainstream journalism to protect us from anything.🤷🏿‍♂️ This is their idea of holding some people accountable: going to their banquets and causing fleeting, awkward moments, seconds before accepting an award from them and shaking their hand.

I need American people to understand that this speech was given by British Member of Parliament Glenda Jackson within 48 hours of Thatcher passing away. This is what I mean when I say that the cultural norm of "You must say nice things about the person that harmed your voters!🤡" is unique to the US

But that's not the American way! That's not how we do things! The American way is: * Cut taxes on super rich people in Blue areas (thereby reducing the tax revenue that can even go to red areas🤡) * Fight immigration in Blue areas (making them less productive, again reducing tax revenue 🤡)

Some of y'all still have the ability to be disappointed by Ezra Klein or the NYT editorial decisions? You watched the movie "Get Out." You saw the "Give me the keys Rose scene." But you didn't understand it. Your slow learning put 350K Haitians and 300K Black women government employees in danger.

They don’t build in rich communities because rich communities hate and actively fight against higher density rental properties to their area. Even my middle-class planned community fought against rental apartments being built nearby and I know of others doing exactly that. NIMBYism is scary at times

The manhunt for the United Healthcare shooter demonstrates something that I've tried to explain many times over the years, and that data shows is true: increasing police presence in a Black neighbourhood, usually *increases* the murder rate in that neighbourhood.🙂🙃 Wait... What?! Yes. Seriously.

You all stood ten toes down and voted against Crockett ‘cause Talarico has the better chance. Y’all do the labour of getting him the win. Don’t be out here demanding we GOTV for you all.

You don’t really wanna have that conversation about whether Obama is black or whatever dude. However, if Obama wants to stump for Talarico, that’s his choice. I respect that. What we’re not gonna have is you all demanding that *insertblacknamehere* stump for Talarico because “reasons”. 1/2

No. The difference is that Trump promotes policies that hurt Black people, but doesn't expect or need those Black people to vote for him. While Bernie promotes policies that hurt Black people, but does expect and need those Black people to vote for him.🤡 One is president. The other never will be

I dunno what you can or can’t do. That’s your business. When it comes to Crockett though, you can stay clueless too. What I will say is that she don’t owe your floppy-eared-avatar-ass shit when it comes to rallying the black vote. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

One last thing: I often see people saying things like ‘never talk to the police without a lawyer’ and a lot of people don’t have lawyers and are like, what should I do? The answer is that you should not talk to the police at all.

Totally agree. I certainly agree that automakers need to be mandated at this stage to right-size their vehicle sizes. We also need to prioritize less car-centric city designs and build out more mass transit.
