My GF last night: Did you hear about LeBron James?

Me: I don't care.

GF: You didn't hea..

Me: I really don't care.

GF: You didn't read about it anywhere???

Me: Did he save someone's life?

GF: No?

Me: Did he break up a child rape club?

GF: No.

ME: Did he cure cancer?

GF: No!

Me: Was it some sports thingy?

GF: Yes!

Me: Then I definitely don't care.

The typical education experience for a Black boy in the United States, is to have almost all white teachers, mostly women, more than half of whom vote for the most racist candidate on any ballot, and no Black teachers. The teachers have low expectations of you, punish you more than your classmates, and threaten to call the cop who works in the hallway on you at any moment.

I don't know how to explain more clearly, that this is never going to work.

Yesterday’s Big Tech Twitter hearings were a bust for the GOP, but that didn’t stop them from acting like dangerous jackasses. Nor did it stop Democrats from making some important points and introducing into the record the best thing ever. My piece is out and walks us through the sound and the fury. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/the-tweet-smell-offailure?sd=pf

✨ Happy New Year 2023!
I wish you with this illustration strength and courage against all the "dragons" who might be on your way in 2023. Can you see the numbers in the silhouettes?

I’m not antisocial, I just can’t stand being around other people.

@scotsoma we've made it too dangerous for kids to play in the streets, too dangerous for people to cycle, apparently now also too dangerous for pedestrians to not be dressed in high viz at all times? Kids, pedestrians, and cyclists are not causing the problem here.

NEW: The Mississippi House's white Republican supermajority passed a bill removing power from Jackson's majority-Black elected judges and giving it to judges and prosecutors appointed by an all-white cast of state officials to oversee the capitol district.

Jackson's mayor called the legislation "plantation politics" and compared it to "apartheid."
