The Bills are hiring for a staff photographer that isnt quite full time hours but theres no way you could have another job. You'll be going to home and away games, covering training camp, mini camp, preseason and regular season games, taking player portraits, etc etc etc. 17.50 an hour. Lol. Wtf.

Biggest game yet of the Mike Brown Knicks. #DETvsNYK

Old school M.C.s would say "I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast" and then brag and boast for like 8 minutes straight.

The Grammy's played in Prince's face. Prime Prince. Can't Slow Down over Purple Rain. "Kiss" won Best R&B performance by a Duo or Group, but neither 1999 nor Parade were nominated. Joshua Tree over Sign O' the Times. No wonder he stopped going.

No Jacket Required was a solid selection for album of the year. Just not sure how Songs From the Big Chair, Around The World In A Day, and Hounds of Love don't make this list. We Are The World, the album??

Album of the Year

I think we should be doing as much talking about the economic destabilization that Epstein & Co. were doing as we are about the child sex trafficking. Because, those men plotted a new world order of racial and economic exploitation and then raped children as a treat

Same energy.

Same year that he dunked on Olajuwon in the playoffs. KJ was tired of Olajuwon's shit.

Happy 36th Birthday Adobe Photoshop! On February 19, 1990, Adobe Systems released a raster graphics editor called Photoshop 1.0.

The UK arrested Prince Andrew. Hakeem Jeffries is telling Democrats not to boo Trump at the State of the Union.

The hatred for Black people in this country will prevent any real accountability process for politicians from ever taking place. These are the consequences of nonblack people's actions and politic.

To be fair, most of the "no old books" faction is *trying* to get across a nuanced message: "Read no old books by dead white dudes whose ideas when not examined through critical lenses can cause harm to you as a reader from a historically marginalized group." But, yeah, that's not as catchy.

Nikola Jokić turns 31 today. He sits at the table of Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Olajuwon, Shaq, and Moses and is probably the greatest passing center that ever lived.

Lord Finesse turns 56 today.

Eileen Southern (February 19th, 1920 – October 13th, 2002)

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

BREAKING: In a win for Black and Latino voters, a New York appellate court rules the state’s independent redistricting commission can move forward in drawing a new congressional map. As a result, the state will get a new map that would likely hand Democrats one more seat in Congress.

More bodies. What a player.

Harper's Weekly from February 19th, 1870. Hiram Revels replaced Jefferson Davis in the Senate. "For that I do suspect the lusty moor hath leap'd into my seat"

February 19, 1996: Georgetown’s Allen Iverson dunks on Rudy Johnson of Connecticut. Iverson had 25 PTS/6 AST/8 STL as the 11th-ranked Hoyas snapped the #3 Huskies’ 23-game win streak with a 77-65 win at a sold-out USAir Arena.

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

Fraternal twins.

Given the fucked up racial politics of ANTM, it was striking to me that in like 2018 she still defined black beauty via the exotic / the other. Black people can’t be beautiful to here inherently, something has HAS to be thrown in there for her. She has learned nothing. And I hated her outfit.

In addition to be a true villain, Tyra Banks is WEIRD. When I interviewed her years ago, she stopped me in the middle of the convo for having “beautiful Native American features.” Like????? Girl, I know my ancestors through and through on both side and they were NIGGAS. Fuck outta here.
