My parents went with the “better opportunities route”
I ended up in a catholic private school housing 5th-12th graders; I would be one of the three total black students. I developed depression and behavioral issues that didn’t get resolved until my 20’s

What I think about this is: For black parents, there’s no one clear correct answer. My parents chose the other route and while it worked out academically, I was mostly unhappy with my educational experience and missed going to school with my friends in our neighborhood.

Someone who’s such an integral part of one of Adult Swim’s most beloved shows deserves much better than this.

Something doesn’t sit right with me about attacking RFK JR. for being a former heroin addict. Like he is a piece of shit completely separate from that and I don’t feel like addiction alone should come with a life sentence of shame. Still hate that man though.

A predictable #NoKings take from Jeremy Peters: A small turnout will be ominous, a large one will be meaningless, all protests from the left are merely a "primal scream," and none of them mean much. The NYT has always loved protests as history but hated them as news. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/u...

Any hiring and firing in this administration isn’t a sign that things will get better. Honestly they started with the best they had so it just gets dumber.

“Should society intervene?” Nigga no?? What kinda loser ass question is that??
📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.
Two top podcasters have identified a global decline. The problem, they say, is women

Florida’s sunshine law is a great example of why this a terrible idea
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Not a moral objection, but a political one. These people do not care about you.
GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez criticizes the Trump administration's tactics in Minnesota, says "I'm not comfortable with what's happening in Minneapolis," and adds that "it's hurting our chances at the midterms."

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Constantly forced to suffer the stupidity of those who’ve never suffered
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

Behn: My biggest pet peeve in politics is when people who don’t live in the South say, “You get what you voted for.” I didn’t vote for the highest maternal mortality rate in the country. I didn’t vote for the highest inflationary cost of groceries in the country.

I got a cousin who is just a dude I met in daycare when I was 3. His parents are my aunt and uncle.
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.
Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."
