Why Grand Crew shouldn’t have been cancelled (#GrandCrew) (I will add to this…until they bring the show back):

1) It was funny.

Violence really is the only reasonable response to this kind of behavior. I wanna find this video to see if at any point she told him what HE needed to do.

What those sick bastards did to those orcas was dead wrong though. They have no business in anyone’s aquarium and Sea World is lucky they didn’t kill or injure more people.

I was a fan of them sinking those boats though. Very chaotic animals.

I have mixed feelings about orcas. They’re so smart but I can’t get over the way they terrorize seals and BABY whales! 😭 Flipping a GREAT WHITE over to induce tonic immobility so they can enjoy the delicacy that is their fatty liver. And ONLY the liver.

Seems adorable however, they’re definitely plotting their revenge. If orcas had opposable thumbs, we’d be fresh out of luck.

So, you could never make me hate orcas to begin with

Now, you can't make me (unreasonably) scared of them.

They don't want to eat us
They want to FEED us!!!! 😂

The OG poster could’ve blocked the quote reskeeter

The reskeeter could have quoted first and then blocked the OG poster.

You could have the OG poster blocked and see the quoter’s post

When you see blocked under someone's reskeet, is it because the original poster has you blocked? Or they blocked the reskeeter?

I thought being blocked on here disappeared everything about a person, even the reskeets of their stuff.

I’d argue that no single thing brings anyone of any age more joy than these bubble guns do with toddler-preK aged kids.

I, personally, am kinda tired of all these documentaries and movies about serial killers. And the podcasts?! This is not entertainment!

There’s an idea that when someone dies before retirement age from a health issue, they must’ve neglected their health, so “everyone get checked.” I want to gently push back on the idea of it being all self-neglect & remind 1) some illnesses are incurable 2) bigoted healthcare system is shit 3) cost.

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

Calling Young Republicans the “youth wing“ of the party doesn’t capture how bad this is.

No excuse at any age but some might be tempted to chalk it up to age. Membership age for this org. is 18 to *40*. Some have jobs in government. We’re not talking abt high schoolers.

“Epithets like “f----t,” “retarded” and “n--ga” appeared more than 251 times combined”

If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

Brad Simpson @bradleyrsimpson.bsky.social · 2d

NYT - Hamas holds hostages, while Israel holds prisoners. The racist dehumanization of Palestinians in the NYT is so deeply embedded that the paper would probably spontaneously combust if its writers and editors treated Palestinians as human beings equal to their Jewish Israeli counterparts.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"
