How Race Slowed the Investigation of a Double...
I love crime shows, especially crime docs like Forensic Files and Cold Case Files. Lately I’ve been watching a show on Netflix called Crime 360. In this reality show, cameras follow the investigation of homicides that are solved in part by using technology that allows crime techs to “freeze” a crime scene just as it is at the time of discovery for use later if detectives need to see the scene...

I’m used to talking shit. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I can’t. But, I’m constipated. I need to release. I think I’m going to make it a habit to post some of the ridiculously stupid, narcissistic comments/emails I get. Starting now:

Let's Add This To: "Reasons Comcast Sucks and...
I am now in month 4 of an ongoing runaround with the terrible cable company known as Comcast. I just don’t understand how this company continues to operate given I’ve never met ANYONE (despite those stupid “welcome back” commercials) who likes or even is content with their service. They charge too much for not enough, nickle and dime their customers to death, make their...

Day 22: Your Favorite TLC Era
Definitely CrazySexyCool. they were a lot of fun during the OOTTT era, but they were so fierce during CSC. Favorite album, favorite era… and c’mon, all the best drama happened during that time, too.
The Fanmail drama was disturbing (because we all thought TLC was finito) and the 3D drama was tragic. Bet when they make that movie, we’ll spend the most time on the CSC era. :)

Why Many Television Networks Owe Black Folks
Subtitled: Fox, UPN, CW, and WB - Run me my money…
Ok, long long long ago a discussion happened on a now non-existent website that led me to share with the masses something that had long ago been shared with me: Black folks have always been the base for upstart networks and then when they got their money, they abandoned us for whiter fields.
First, let’s start with perhaps the...

Smoking Gun: “Texts From Bennett” Aren't Real →
kindredsmile:
“Bennett” is the creation of David Sheldon, the 30-year-old Kansas City rapper known as Mac Lethal.
I suspected Bennett wasn’t real when homeboy randomly decided to let us all know that despite what we might hear, Bennett was a real person. He tried to get in front of this story and failed… kinda like Hermmy Cain.
Texts are still funny…
I’m waiting on...

These thoughts were triggered by a convo I see happening on tumblr. I’m not not linking to that conversation because of anything other than the fact that these thoughts while triggered by that conversations, isn’t really meant to be included in that conversation. I wanna be clear about that from the start. I also want to say that I’m sensitive to issues like this and I know...

People that ask what something is, on the internet.
They literally have to highlight the word, drag it to the top of the screen, and let go.
This right here. I just don’t get it… in the time it takes you to ask me “what is that” you could’ve Googled it and gotten way more information than I have to give…
Lazy asses…
