I gotta say that I’ve been in a weird spot with the NFL for a while and it doesn’t have anything to do with Kaep. I quit fantasy football 5 years ago and I thought I would need therapy to get through it but I made it out just fine and haven’t looked back. Just to know that these millionaires/billionaires make

Kid Rock is a garbage human.

Christopher Columbus wasn’t even the first European to find North America and colonise it as the Vikings got there centuries earlier.

I get it. The fans should show their support. That will get some attention.

So this shit is ok, but punching Nazis is not? Gtfo. I can see who America is protecting.

I googled “happy American couple” and was elated to see a lot of beautiful black couples pop up. Searches for “American man” and “American woman” no longer yield totally whitewashed results as they used to. Kudos to whoever tweaked those algorithms. Next up: tweaking “All American man” and “All American woman” which

Yes yall. Please be safe out there.

I still mourn the loss of her show. It fit so nicely with young-ish professionals who are politically invested and at the time still of age to appreciate pop culture. I attended at event where she was the featured speaker and it will always be one of the best times of my life. It was right after the release of Sister
