My athletic ability is questionable, and I am the son of a D1 athlete so let's not give the Heisman to Muskie's kids just yet

[Foreverford05]

I'm a D3 intramural sport athlete. Yal work to get on my level.

[BTBaboon]

I almost flunked out of college playing D1 fall ball.

Was mostly warming up the bench or getting mop-up duty in blowouts.

Better than blowout duty in mop-ups

If the stars are to be multicolored, have them fade from light to dark or vice versa instead of being smattered like that.

Also….it’s Macy Gray, who cares

I played CYO basketball in high school. Only like one laid back practice a week, my buddy and I felt like the fuckin globetrotters there.

This made me laugh out loud - fair assessment.

[coldengrey12]

That man's name was Lou Bega, btw

[coldengrey12]

Is Macy a one-hit wonder? She's had a long career as an actress and a musician, but I feel like I do really just know her for I Try

[YouNeverKnow25]

she is 100% a one hit wonder.

[snow1868]

She was supposed to open for DMB at Texas Stadium in 2001, she ended up cancelling. If she would have come out, who knows, maybe I'd know at least two Macy Gray songs.

[Lee3691]

Saw Macy Gray open up for DMB at like my 3rd DMB show ever, so I probably take her more seriously than most.


EDIT due Ryan's post: In 2001.

What the hell could happen to make parents act this way at a game for 5-7 year old kids?

She is truly a 1 hit wonder (she did have a semi follow up with “Sweet Baby” that featured Erykah Badu), but for someone with just 1 known tune of her own, she’s gotten around. Featured on tracks by Outkast, Ariana, Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah (Chicago soundtrack), ODB, Santana, and Galactic

Well, I guess the last flag change was designed by some high school kid so... her input is as valid as anyone.

That’s the problem with living vicariously through your kids.

Those kids are fucked. I say we gas the parents, then treat the kids like rescue pups and spend a lot of time properly readjusting them to society.

Talib Kweli has a song called I Try that is way better than Macy Gray.

“Our growing pains be way deeper than Mike Seaver’s”.

You underestimate how many shitty parents are out there.

BREAKING at SCOTUS: Student-athletes win major battle with NCAA over compensation. The decision is unanimous.

Court holds that limiting compensation to tuition and expenses, etc. violates anti-trust principles. Justice Gorsuch writes.

https://twitter.com/stevenmazie/stat...928363528?s=21


Just in: The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that some of the NCAA’s restrictions on education-related benefits to student athletes violate federal antitrust laws. While the ruling is narrow, its language has implications that could transform college athletics as we know them.

I wonder how it'll affect 5-7yo T-Ball.

In the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, as White House officials debated whether to bring infected Americans home for care, President Donald Trump suggested his own plan for where to send them, eager to suppress the numbers on U.S. soil.

This post doesn't give away where he wanted to send them:

Guantanamo.

I liked the idea of centralized quarantine. Not a fan of it being Guantanamo though.

Maybe something more humane for our beautiful American citizens? He loves us, doesn't he folks?

Remember the cruise ships? The thing is it wasn’t like he was trying to keep people safe he was worried about higher numbers making him look bad.

Senate Majority Leader Schumer is now backing Sen. Bernie Sanders' plan to add dental, vision and hearing coverage to Medicare, which will cost an estimated $350 billion to $400 billion over a decade.

Good.

[YouKnowThatItIS]

Doxing of the insurrectionists leads to consequences. Why do these clowns think they can partake in a coup attempt and get away scot free without repercussions? We often hear them reply with things like “ personal freedom to believe what I want” and “my way of life and this country are under attack from the lefties”.

Yes you are free to have any opinion you want. But no one is free from the consequences of those beliefs.

According to the WaPo's Robert Klemko, "Two days later, Dawson lost his job as an ironworker, his employer citing his actions in D.C. His wife, Michelle, uploaded a tearful self-shot video to Twitter announcing his firing, and later that month she was asked to hand in her vest and badge at a Walmart in Battle Ground, Wash., where she worked as an online-order fulfiller. She thinks she was fired over her politics but acknowledges that she had missed a substantial amount of work because of back problems," adding, "Anonymous abusive callers deluged the Dawsons' cellphones, with some urging the couple to kill themselves, the Dawsons said."

Klemko notes that doxing has become commonplace with the rise of social media and that it is employed by people on both the left and the right as a form of retribution.

"The doxing of Dawson highlights the effect the tactic can have — unemployment and personal upheaval followed by a new job that pays much less than his old one — but also the limits of the technique: Dawson is unrepentant for his role in galvanizing a mob to harass Jedeed and continues to espouse far-right views," the report states.

Noting the couples' background, with Dawson defending white nationalism and praising Donald Trump, the report goes on to describe the change in their lives since the D.C. altercation.

I’m fine with people being fired over their participation in the insurrection. I’m nowhere even remotely close to ok with people calling them and leaving any kind of threatening message.
