That Non-Afrikan woman is simply the vendor! 😂😂😂
I can’t believe this is real.
Someone absolutely has to go to the mall and ask her and report back
Now inclined to believe he staged this. And, honestly, I appreciate his effort to give us #content.

a bunch of people followed me off a tweet i don’t care about — and was literally just a snippet of a conversation i had with my father — and i’m going to try to intentionally run them the fuck off over the next few days, so here’s their warning.
If you are following me for reasons other than overly long college football threads on fall Saturday, unabashed Houston boosterism, fight video analysis, RTs of videos of extremely fast teens & boring old stories of my childhood from the ‘80s & ‘90s, then you won’t like it here.
If people consider it weak that i unabashedly block people who: a. i loathe; b. unfollowed me first; c. i want to forget exist; d. talk to me in a manner i find unbefitting a middle-aged man with responsibilities, then i guess i’m KD at the NBA Combine.

Not really saying anything novel here but it’s almost inconceivable how the best shooter in league history is also one of its best off the dribble and an All-Star-level distributor. He really is perimeter Shaq, but if Shaq could’ve hit free throws at the league average.
I can say things like that now because I’m no longer bitter about the 2018 WCF and Bron doesn’t have anything left to prove. It’s not growth, it’s just clarity.
Boston had the best defensive rating in the regular season and was second only to Milwaukee in the postseason and Golden State still put up 92 on them in three quarters.

My pops was like, “You're definitely going to send Desmond to private school now, right? What with all these school shootings.” And I was, like, “actually seems like a safer course of action would be to send him to a large urban high school abandoned by white families tbh."
His grandparents, who have now lived in Texas for more than 50 years, seem very disturbed that I take a much more dim view of private and suburban white-flight schools than they ever did.
Of course, we’re considering a lot more than the likelihood of mass shootings in thinking ahead about his schooling.

After a 7-week absence i finally returned to Hang Up and Listen to spend 2/3s of my time talking about racism and slapping people over money w/my good friends @josh_levin & @BWDBWDBWD. The dude @jack_hamilton also swung by to talk NBA Finals. Good times. slate.com/podcasts/hang-…
@josh_levin @BWDBWDBWD @jack_hamilton And while mulling over the Anderson v Donaldson dustup, I realized I wanted to say baseball’s “culture”—incl a crowd booing 1 of the game’s few black American stars over his objection to a slick Jackie Robinson comparison—is likely 1 of the things that cost the game Kyler Murray
@josh_levin @BWDBWDBWD @jack_hamilton I was there when the A’s announced the signing of Kyler Murray in 2018. After following him around for a day, I knew baseball was gonna have a hard sell: the stands were empty, that shit was boring, and he hadn’t gotten a real taste of football success. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…

Neither in college nor in my 1st years as a journalist did anyone talk about applying skepticism to police statements. It’s something you come to learn by trial and error, *or* you tacitly believe the police are mostly good and infallible—which isn’t exactly unbiased reporting.
The burden of proving or disproving bias in reporters never seems to go the other way on this one: placing your trust in “authorities” is as much an editorial choice as believing they’re fundamentally liars.
A thing that helped? In a time when newspapers were cutting jobs & asking more of reporters, I took on “courts” as well as the cops beat for a couple years. And my perspective changed *a lot* when I started talking to public defenders and private attorneys about police reports.
