Literally dozens of couples re-enacting the same “cutesy” scene, almost verbatim
The other bad one is the one where the woman (the viral ones are all het) gets “upset” when her boo calls her by her real name instead of her pet name 🙄
It’s so cringe
“Bae, like...you never call me by my *real* name? Why did you do that?”
There was the one where the caption read: “recording my boyfriend/husband’s reaction when i come into the room naked.”
Invariably! The camera-wielded walks into the room in which their husband has a headset on and is playing, like, COD or 2K...
...then looks at the camera-wielder...
And says to the person on the headset: “hey, yo...i gotta bounce, bro. It’s time for DESSERT.”
😬🤮🙄

Back in the early summer when white people were suddenly realizing that the US has, you know, a certain malign track record, i asked what spurred their epiphanies.
Of the hundreds of responses, nearly all mentioned Trump. The Great Awokening was always a flimsy, cynical thing.
there were many chewy things in that ep and it is incredibly revealing that ppl in an elite Black organization took issue with the 20 seconds in which their org is referred to as an elite Black organization that has not primarily concerned itself with radical politics
it's not editorializing to say those organizations are for the Black bourgeoisie, that their politics are deeply informed by and concerned with respectability, and that they necessarily self-select for people so inclined.
this is such a bad take. The NBA had a 50-year head start and literal decades of unprofitability. The league was in dire economic straits until Magic and Bird.
It's because the NBA is so profitable and valuable today that it should generously subsidize its sister league.
again: the NBA pulls in revenues of nearly EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS annually. The Clippers are the sorriest franchise in major North American team sports and Steve Ballmer still paid TWO BILLION DOLLARS for the right to own them.
Why? Bc NBA franchises have skyrocketed in value.
Herb Kohl bought the Milwaukee Bucks, for 18 million dollars in 1985.
He sold the team for $550 million in 2014. $550 million for a small-market, then-mediocre team that was then rarely on national television.
so a couple years ago, i interviewed this woman about police reform. she was a unicorn: she was Black, a grandmother, a police captain, and a PhD in organizational theory.
@KeahHenry she was walking me through the idea of changing a police department "from the inside."
So you start off as a patrol officer. Now already, you don't have power inside the institution. You have to make the arrests or hand out the tickets per your bosses' directions.
@KeahHenry if you recognize that there is racial bias in the arrests and ticketing you have to do and you make noise about it, how are you going to get promoted? you're Black and you're the squeaky wheel? Nah. Your career will top out at patrolling.
i think the thing that's irritating about whatsherface's true believers is how they get froggy abt the mildest criticisms
i remember a year or so ago when the truancy program came up and actual Black people on here were copping pleas for it
if you heard what that program entailed in a vacuum — fining and potentially locking up the parents of chronically absent school children — wouldn't you *immediately* presume that the ppl who would get caught up in it would be Black/Latinx/Native, poor, or ppl w/ disabilities?
the fact that that wasn't obviously where her thinking went tells you a bit about her politics and priors, doesn't it?
the most charitable read is that her office fell into the "if all you have is a hammer..." trap.
