wait, then who was the guy courtside wearing a bright orange fedora, orange-framed specs, and a white-and-orange striped zoot suit? how was zoot suit and fedora guy not Spike Lee?

"First you wouldn't vote for Democrats over Gaza. Now you won't vote for Democrats over trans people. What's going to be your next excuse?" I dunno man probably the fundamental and non-negotiable human rights of some other marginalized group

couple of projects still ongoing, and now I'm torn between "dang, we sure had a short summer after a long, chilly, wet spring" and "for the love of all that is good and holy, bring on the first snowstorm of winter and shut it all down right now"

Going in front of the UN and wondering if you should genocide a country while simultaneously preparing devastating economic sanctions against the only international body that can do anything about it is the kind of baller move you can only pull off in a capitalist 'liberal democracy', kudos to us
