In matter, Jade E. Davis writes that “Black men Being Killed is the new women long past Wild,” and she’s right. so you don’t have to look at this weekend’s recent horror, the video of Eric Harris being murdered after he’s already on the ground with a police officer kneeling on his head. but you will have to keep in mind that the murderer on this case was once not even an actual police officer, but a 71 yr old “reserve deputy” who will pay money to play cop. At this point, after we to find the police division that hunts black males for game I will not be stunned. in the meantime this sea lion was once apprehended with out incident. Disarm the police.
The Chris Vernon exhibit Day 1 Masters update takes 1:30 to get good but then it bumps. turn Down for A Thousand Miles. I don’t wish to see the phrase “controls a swarm of robot spiders” any place ever once more please. Tidal is, unsurprisingly, rubbish in step with Sam Biddle. recommendation column quandary unusual.

Drake was once early for his Coachella set, most likely to prepare for his ritual implantation of Madonna eggs. So you have Madonna’s spawn embedded deep within your viscera–what do you do now? Let Me Drake That For You (and bonus LMDTFY backstory).
The story, in The Butter, of what Liz Prato found when her dad died is long and devastating but superb. And if you happen to still need one thing read, Metafilter’s JHarris gathered links to what seems to be everything the Brunching Shuttlecocks’s legendary co-founder and one in all my personal comedic heroes Lore Fitzgerald Sjöberg ever wrote.
Avery! What’s happening within the moldy old soul of the UK this fantastic spring Monday?
Why do I still care about Harry Potter? Why did I insist on my non-fan girlfriend gazing all the films with me final 12 months? Why did I just lately devour a 650,000-phrase HP fanfic? Why did I get so incensed when @Sortingbot declared me a Hufflepuff?
(Wait, scrap that final query. We know why.)
just kidding, Hufflepuffs–you’re golden in my ebook, regardless of what Mitchell and Webb have to claim about you.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in the sequence, used to be revealed rapidly after I turned 19. It must’ve been a chance for me to develop up and depart in the back of such infantile things. And but, there’s still one thing in me that perks up if I hear any person speaking about Horcruxes; there’s nonetheless a part of me that doesn’t need to make fun of the people who play “real lifestyles” Quidditch; there’s nonetheless a bit of me that remembers the second i spotted I’d somewhat be Hermione than Harry find it irresistible was once (April 17, 2015).
This morning, Metafilter directed me to this short, gorgeous “what-if?” Aunt Petunia fanfic. I didn’t hesitate to read it, and it’s only in hindsight that I ask why I even care.
i assume that query doesn’t actually topic. however I’ll maintain asking it, like a excellent Ravenclaw.
seem to be, did I read all of the Harry Potter books? sure I did. probably greater than once. Or more than four instances. each. Have I been formally sorted? sure i have, and it’s going to shock no person to analyze that i am a proud Slytherin. however i believe Avery and i, and each person, can nonetheless come collectively and agree that individuals who play Quidditch IRL are enormous nerds.
