I need a dedicated Jelly Roll spinoff podcast, like CBB did with Bill Walton.

Louder, for everyone everywhere.

Gonna repost this every time I come across it on socials. 💚

Happy Birthday Pudge!

"There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue." Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

I don't need to use chatGPT because as a cis white man, I already say things with 100% confidence and 60% accuracy

Among the many amazing things about Adams pleading his case here is that he openly supports and now is asking for help from… people who cancelled funding for cancer research.

Absolute bullshit that Home Depot and Lowe’s don’t have any Edmund Fitzgerald lawn decorations.

Love this for us.

Pundits only talk to office-holders, their staffs, and each other. They would never deign to interact with any “real” people they purport to understand.
