But for an idea that came together in less than 24 hours—and spread by word of mouth?
I think we did damned good:
—we got to #8
—they were forced to cheat.

“I think they’re trying too hard with this international stuff” as the league prepares to play more games overseas next season. Okay.
They voted Michael Jackson as number 1. The same Michael Jackson that made songs like Black or White & They Don’t Care About Us.
FYI Michael was very political and stood against injustice. He would have loved Bad Bunny.

The point of the Washington Post is now the point of Melania's film. It's just cosmetic shine over fascism. It doesn't function for the people.

It was a little selfish, maybe a lot. You can honor T’Challa’s legacy without a recast, hence why they introduced a son
I’ll never understand that recast crowd acting dumbfounded that people love the job Chadwick did as t’challa and that they didn’t want him recasted in wakanda forever. They were hating on the beautiful tribute solely because he wasn’t recasted, like real people weren’t affected by his passing.
Michael B. Jordan keeps a stuffed black panther in his home as a tribute to Chadwick Boseman and their bond

The comments are irritating me because these are the same ppl who have expected other groups of ppl in this country to carry on with life as regularly scheduled for a LONG time.
And now that things are hitting the fan in a way that’s affecting them, nobody can have a good day.
