I often see comments like this, and I didn't know why anyone would believe this. Like, confederate flags have never gone out of style.

When someone said BlueSky is as fun as a nonprofit cocktail party .. they really said a word. 😭😭

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, they were all just fine up until the moment where they decided that they needed to stop simply showing me posts from the people I followed in chronological order.

"That was unreal — just, literally, unreal. I'm speechless." "When it comes to New York basketball, he is freaking *him.*” At Y! Sports: I wrote about Jalen Brunson, who started it all for these Knicks, and who now, after an immortal Game 5, has everything he ever dreamed of: tinyurl.com/4bahzasb

We need to hang that NBA cup banner. That shit counts now

I have been screenshotting “OKC - SPURS is the real finals” comments for weeks.

EVERYBODY IS BETTER THAN BRUNSON UNTIL IT'S TIME TO BE BETTER THAN BRUNSON!!!

Dude.

Brunson is the greatest dog ever. No one else showed up tonight

the left’s retreat on policing since the 2020 uprisings has been a massive shortcoming. police are the oppressors and political opponents of the working class. you can’t liberate communities or build sustained municipal power for working & oppressed people without fighting back.

This is absolutely true, everyone knows it, but aside from the defund/abolish movement, there is no actual plan to do something about it. People just note the fact and shrug their shoulders.

Months ago I wrote it was worth a “wait and see” on Tisch, saying maybe he could outmaneuver her. He seemingly has zero interest in reducing NYPD power whatsoever. With less charismatic pols you’d see them taking bigger reputation hits for pivots like this

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

If things continue like this, I wonder how long leftists will be able to keep up their cognitive divide between Mamdani and the NYPD.

Sure looks like the NYPD is getting to have a private watch party for which it gets paid time and a half

Terrorism. Thank God for the brother who was armed and able to defend his family.

I think this is a bad omen for what the city looks like like if the Knicks win it all. The NYPD is sending the signal that they’re going to crack down on whatever they perceive as disorder and that’s going to run the risk of turning the vibes on what should be NYC’s coolest night absolutely rancid.

I hate Dolan as much as any long-suffering Knicks fan, but it's the NYPD who are actively trying to kill the vibes for Game 4. And our beloved mayor seems to be going along with it?

Looks like New York is ready for some Knicks basketball!

Listen, if Knicks fans can still get a roaring "Fuck Trae Young" chant going at the drop of a hat, we'd better hear a rousing "Fuck Donald Trump" chant when they show his face.

I really hate this MFer. Like, leave us alone! Why do you have to ruin shit?!

This is the meritocracy that has been rescued from the dusky clutches of diversity.

Something becoming disabled has taught me is how instinctual that response is, to say “something bad happened to this person, they must have fucked up, here’s all the reasons I’m immune.” It’s self-protective and enormously destructive. It’s one of those things you need to teach yourself to check.

Great scoop and legit scandal: That casino license is huge money and there's a giant rezoning tied up in it, too.

KD has no business being this funny 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

All of my conversations right now

I remember when everyone was in a tizzy because "ER" was doing a live episode, as if Roc hadn't done an entire live season right before.

I don't know how in the hell a team with Tobias Harris could go 82-0, but I'll take it. www.82-0.com/share?id=Ann...

I’m so sick of being asked to tolerate, understand, forgive, contextualize, and empathize indefinitely with this angry scumbag archetype whose feelings are more important than anyone else’s.

I’m willing to accept that in Maine you can win elections by being unaccountable and having voters see themselves in you. Clearly that worked for Trump and it’s working for Platner. What I can’t accept is that this is “rural versus elite America”, when it’s just white masculine exceptionalism.

Was Vibe ever Black-owned? I thought it was a Time Warner publication?

The top line outrage here is so astounding that it bears repeating: Trump is using the powers of his office to settle not just political but private scores against someone adjudged by juries to be a victim of his sexual abuse and defamatory attacks. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

I could see a "leaked Democratic Party leadership memo re: Black voters" hoax going crazy, but no one even thought to do that. They knew the one focusing on Black elites, interpersonal relationships, & dating would capture more attention.

I think it's damning that the new Willie Lynch letter hoax is not about politicians, corporations, cops, attorneys, judges, or anyone else with actual power, but about White women dating Black athletes.

Yep but pretending it’s really an intramural contest among different types of white people lets the people being targeted with curfews, occupation, deportations, and incarceration remain out of the frames.

The Shawshank Redemption Inception (really anything by C Nolan) that recent Superman movie

I was just watching the @righttimebomani.bsky.social discussion with @joelanderson.bsky.social about the NAACP call for a student-athlete boycott of the SEC schools. While I appreciate Bomani, I think his reflexive cynicism on this strategy was misplaced.

This is also at the core of the Democratic Party's leadership failure-- they have made it clear that they will refuse to listen to their constituents' rejection of this elite orientation on several issues, even if it costs them elections.

these reactionaries are happy to take the taxes that black families pay to maintain these colleges and universities. they just don't want those institutions to have black students.

Any political coalition worth a damn has to have as a core principle that no subgroup can be sacrificed to the wolves, no matter how small the subgroup or how convenient it might be to sacrifice them. In fact, the smaller & less powerful the subgroup, the more they should be defended.

EVERYBODY BETTER THAN JALEN BRUNSON UNTIL ITS TIME TO BE BETTER THAN JALEN BRUNSON

Just reminded me that I need to buy a new pair of camo shorts. Summer snuck up too quickly on me.

Even worse when it's a politician. Which is something I see on here a lot.

We do not need panel discussions about the "dismantling of Black Studies." Cross the street and ask the local church if you can run a Black Studies Saturday school in their basement for interested community members.

For you to understand how much the world has changed, in the 1970s as a second grader we were REQUIRED to watch the TV show adaptation of ROOTS. REQUIRED. www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...
