Rick Ross tells the media he is innocent as he walks out of jail after being arrested on domestic violence charges, including felony battery by strangulation.
“I’m totally innocent of these fabricated allegations made against me. I’ll be in Dubai tomorrow, Paris Saturday, and I plan on having a bowl of rigatoni with heavy marinara Sunday. I repeat, heavy marinara.”

We really all think the same thoughts, don't we? This was me 5 days ago, and I felt doomscrolling should let us read actual books instead: twitter.darola.net

Turns out that in a secular society without rigidly enforced patriarchal doctrines, parents have to actually be pleasant people if they want their adult offspring to spend time with them. Boomers are the first generation to discover this, and they seem genuinely shocked by it.
Well, this is sad and terrible:
“Many experts believe that estrangements between adult children and their parents are becoming an epidemic in the U.S.”
“Psychologists say young adults’ definition of harmful parental behavior is changing.”
They “consider ordinary conflict to be much worse than it once was” and “have a much broader definition than their elders of psychological harm.”
“Many now view repeated criticism, strong disagreements and other painful relationship conflicts as abusive.”
“In their minds, they see themselves as more enlightened and therefore more justified to cut off for more reasons.”

"Lynching, beatings, castrations, and more lynching. It almost passes human understanding how a people can be so socially despised yet artistically esteemed; so degraded, yet culturally influential; so ostracized, yet a dominant editorial force in American life." - Alain Locke

i love this because a few years ago people were talking about "u don't owe anyone anything" and now everyone is talking about how hard it is to make friends as an adult, but they don't see the correlation and that's why they're mad at this video

Van Lathan, co-host of Higher Learning podcast, reacts to transphobic remarks by WNBA athlete Sophie Cunningham
"If you cannot gift trans people with visibility, humanity, and acceptance, could you at least gift them with silence? Could you at least shut the fu## up about it? Could you at least leave them the fu## alone?"
You guys are doing your victory lap on this shit, fucking up the country. You mean to tell me there are wars happening in the Middle East, food prices are crazy, like the environment is in the shitter, we can't eat lettuce without crap in our pants, all of this stuff, and you still picking on these people after all of this time?”

The wildest conspiracy theory I believe is that George R R Martin based the Targaryens on Sisqo. Because what are the chances that you have a dragon-obsessed group of people who also happen to have platinum hair??
George ain’t slick. Give Sisqo his things.
