This pope really speaks to me apnews.com/article/vati...

I make a very similar point to my students. Slavery wasn't abstract anymore. You now personally saw and felt bounty hunters, federal marshals, and even Marines dragging away fugitives and "fugitives" (kidnapping free Black people). As Amos Lawrence wrote, folks "waked up stark mad Abolitionists."

67-year-old Cuomo is the future to 85-year-old Clyburn

Bill Russell played in 5 of the 20 NBA Finals Game 7s. Won them all. Four of them decided by 3 points or less. His averages in the Finals Game 7s: 20.4 PPG, 32 RPG, 3.4 APG, 43.1% FG, 74% FT His regular playoff averages: 16.2 PPG, 24.9 RPG, 4.7 APG, 43% FG, 60% FT

As someone with a physique that is uncannily similar to Chet’s, I’m disgusted by his offensive game. Granted, I’m not seven feet tall and not in the NBA, but I watch him and see fitty different ways he can be improving his scoring.

The Post continues to lead the way in craptacular local news coverage

These dummies let McConnell fool them again

I need to dust off the cobwebs and write about great bench/role player performances in the Finals. Like Don Nelson in Game 6 of the 1969 Finals. Led the Celtics in scoring with 25 points in 23 minutes to tie the series at 3-3. www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/19...

Fine by me. My ancestors didn't literally slave away so his racist ass and staff could have a paid day off. Me on the other hand? I ain't done anything resembling work today.

And the current president pretended to be against that war as an effective jab at Clinton in 2016.

The press seems to have really imbued all the lessons from the Iraq War about the need to sharply question authority and (non-) use of intelligence information. Couldn't even muster a limp "claimed without evidence" to challenge Trump and Netanyahu's crazy bullshit www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/u...

And this is why I’m introducing oral exams about research papers. Which source did you find most illuminating? Which one changed your thinking the most? Who’s the most interesting person in your paper? And WHY is the follow up on every single one.

But we should still be over there to get Diversity Of Opinion.

The Republican candidate for governor in Virginia wrote a book titled, Stop Being a Christian Wimp! Exclamation point in the original title.

You are what you eat... and watch, stream, tweet, etc.

John Lindsay was mayor of New York City from 1966 to 1973. He was a cool motherfucker as far as politicians go. The Knicks won two titles in that time period. Knicks won't win another title until they elect another cool motherfucker as mayor.

I was gonna try to find a quote from Daniel Inouye on why creating the Department of Homeland Security was a dumb ass idea. Instead, Google AI gave me this piece of fabricated information. Inouye died in 2012, which is well after DHS was created. A meta-example of our society being cooked.

The seeds of this American strain were planted at Jamestown. The colony was founded by pirates, charlatans, thieves, and grifters kept alive only by forcing or suckering indentured servants and slaves to work the fields and pilfering land and crops from Natives.

Kicked it super old school on this HoopGrid

Shoulda been over the back on Nesmith, but it looked cool so I don’t care

OKC needs to spend training camp emphasizing how to make secure inbound passes

Someone get me the Patrick Ewing GIF chastising his player for taking a terrible shot. Cuz Chet needs to quit with these turn around jumpers. It’s the damn Finals. Try that shit over the summer or against the Hornets.

OKC actively taking bad shots and making bad decisions to close out the half. Like that rushed SGA flip shot or the Wiggins corner three. Inexplicable.

Why the hell are FBI agents wearing camouflage uniforms?

The only king recognized in my household

Oh no, look at this current weather forecast for DC

Really? Miasma theory is making a comeback?! www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Slapping Confederate names back on military bases illustrates this county’s institutional commitment to the problem.

May the spirit of Sly guide us

NBA players just be yelling too much. “I drew a foul on a moving screen… RAWWWWWR!!!!”

The Thunderwolves are real sloppy tonight

I reiterate my demand that Chet never dribble

Yeah, but a Black man did that deal. Surely he can do a bigger and better and beautifuller one.

Someone lock Bibi in a room and have him listen to EPMD for 48 hours straight
