Justice Roberts said:

“Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise...”

So make EVERY application to a public university REQUIRE prospective students to write an essay on the way race has affected their life. EVERY student. All essays should be weighed equally to aid in determining their admission. Problem solved.

Fine. If you license your business with the state and you don’t want to serve the LGBTQ community then you will be REQUIRED to EXPLICITLY state that you do not serve homosexuals. All of your advertising and storefront operations should reflect your deeply held beliefs.

Does this mean the KKK can't use race to determine membership eligibility?

#BlackFriday #BlackJoy #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #LGBTQ The prompt from @BigAngBlack this week was to post on an LGBTQ+ icon. Picking just one was tough but I ended up having to go with the incredibly gifted choreographer and dancer Alvin Ailey. Even today I can find myself watching something he choreographed and not realizing I am holding my breathe. I found a 7 min doc that gives the essential bits about him.

If the Donald can’t find a lawyer, how’s he going to find a VP?

Those classified documents don’t care about your feelings.

@GottaLaff

Kinda weird how the pundits on cable news don’t seem capable of asking this basic, fundamental, quite obvious question. Did you read the indictment?

 I understand that punditry is all about opinion, but shouldn’t one be familiar with a subject before they provide an opinion? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Jesus saves! But will he have enough for retirement?

My teevee media diet is making me anorexic.

After binge rounds of Iron Chef and Man vs Food I turn the channel to MSNBC or CNN and, upon watching drone footage and sky cams one & two follow Donald Trump from Bedminster to the airport for his return to Mar-a-Lago and tomorrows arraignment...I evacuate the contents of my tummy on the kitchen floor. 🤮😒

Christopher Hitchens was a national treasure. I suspect his postmortem commentary about Jerry Falwell would interchange nicely with his opinion of Pat Robertson.

@empiricism

If that's what you truly believe, why do you take yourself so seriously?

Do you often take yourself kinda way too seriously?

If that's the case, what event[s] or beliefs caused that feeling?

Those are more self refection questions (no pressure to reply. They're not trick questions)

Racism is.. 

@empiricism

I think I’m a human racist.

I have an utter disgust for so many characteristics shared by ALL beings we define as “human”, regardless of their character and/or the color of their skin.

Does my mocking your silly religious beliefs constitute me “canceling” you?

I used to be a pedal to the metal proponent of artificial intelligence. But now that prominent scientists and journalists have proclaimed that it will destroy humanity, I’m starting to believe we’ll be destroyed by vague predictions about things that are not remotely possible now, and may or may not be possible within 3 years or, ya know, 50 years.

Brings to mind the maxim that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
