In this post, I unhinge my brain and dump out all the reasons why you should, as a subscriber to HBO, use that sub not only for Heated Rivalry rewatches but for #unrivaledwbb. Unrivaled needs your help and your eyeballs!

Federal judges have dismissed three lawsuits accusing British author Neil Gaiman of sexually assaulting his children's nanny in New Zealand.

One of my favorite scenes in THE MEMORY HUNTERS is when Burdock buys sugar cane and whittles a piece off for Vale. He also cuts mangoes for her. It's a nod to Taiwan and the South at the same time.

Used to do this in Taiwan. Just gnawed on pieces until the sugar was all gone, rinse and repeat.
Anybody out there ever chewed on sugar cane. I'm getting a wave of nostalgia for this rural southern treat.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?
