So I have no idea who Lizzo even is but a friend pointed out this current controversy over this song lyric change. I honestly rolled my eyes and didn't really believe it then I got to my office and saw a headline in my news feed. The song in question drops f bombs, uses bitch, talks about beating people randomly and cutting of a man's penis.... all of that is fine, but the lyric where she calls herself a 'spaz' required changing the lyrics as it was too problematic and Lizzo even put out a statement saying she would never promote derogatory or harmful language (lol) so she's removing the sword spaz from the song......... of course the article in my news feed makes this out as courageous and brave and cares not for any other lyrics or imagery

yeah guys, if you can't honestly see the problems with this culture then may God be with you.

This blows my mind...the guy points the finger at the other side, and 2 months later he's busted for giving out kiddie porn...the very thing he accuses the other side of doing. WTF.



And these are good people with the best of intentions...not so sure. Different guy, Brett Blomme, who was at one point the CEO of the LGBTQ+ group Cream City Foundation. They ran the drag queen story hour and paid for it. He had to quit the position after being caught sexting with boys.



And another...why are schools allowing this...

I cant even imagine how confusing this is for children. Maybe we should start bringing male and female nude dancers into the classroom to help kids get more in touch with their sexuality in addition to human anatomy training. This would allow the children to feel comfortable with nudity without shame and brush up on some science at the same time, right?

I don't take any grievance with mascot name changes. I thought better could have been made of Guardians and Commanders, but ultimately what changes? Cleveland will still trade away their best players and give the AL Central fits regardless of what they're called. Dan Snyder is forever an asshole.

This one is a goddamned layup. George Washington Generals.

Someone on reddit made a mock up for the Cleveland "Black Cats", and I'll be sad forever that that wasn't what we ended up getting.

I was all in on the Cleveland Spiders (1889–1899). I've tried selling the Atlanta Hammers (Braves) and Kansas City Renegades (Chiefs) to anyone who will listen. Slam dunks for incredibly cool logos if you do it right. Not that the possibility of screwing it up isn't possible.

We all choose the hills we want to die on. The Native American mascot bit isn't one of mine. When the University of Illinois lost Chief Illiniwek, I thought the faux grievance was unbearable from their fans and alums. Then it just became funny. It mostly stemmed from their own memories, nostalgia and sense of "the way it's always been." It was some white dude dressed up in a costume doing a dance at halftime. Enter the "fuck your feelings" mantra that's become American lexicon in recent years. I can empathize and understand, to a degree, how this might "mean something" to people, but at the end of the day it's a blip on the radar in the big picture of things.

Life went on. They still suck at football and still have two really good basketball seasons they hang their hats on.

Not only that, but they're gonna have to open it up so priests can be married. Getting rid of the celibate restriction would help entice more people to consider the ministry. The number of Catholics per priest has almost doubled in the last 40 years. While the number of Catholics has grown much larger during those last 40 years the number of priests has actually declined. At this rate there will be a growing number of parishes without a priest.

The cop should have taken her to a quicky mart and bought a pregnancy test for her to take. lol

Should a fetus count as a car passenger? Pregnant Texas woman says yes, fights ticket

A pregnant woman in Texas is arguing that her unborn child should count as a vehicle passenger after being cited for driving alone in an HOV lane.

I saw this as well and thought that the law for HOV lanes should specifically state that each passenger must be in their own seat (and the uterus doesn’t count as a seat 😆).

Maybe he should have told her, her child isn't old enough to ride in the front seat and issue her a second citation! :unsure:

There's probably a number of states already looking to add that language. Everyone knows what the spirit of the law refers to.

ND's response to the Dobbs ruling was good, so they were apparently obligated to let one of the revolutionaries on our payroll off the chain to create public scandal for the sake of "balance."

What is going on...really hard to trust the WHO on health emergencies after they first said COVID was a mild threat and China was handling it.
