Me: Sure. I’m sure I have a card that still has money on it.
Waitress: [expressionless]

Waitress: Okay. Because sometimes it’s not.

The only thing I regret so far is my decision to go all in with A-K on a flop of A-8-6. My man called with 8-7 and… runner-runner 9-5 is something that I could have avoided if I had been nicer to Jesus that one time. :)

It’s weird to be at this conference, full of beautiful black and brown people being positive and affirming to each other. And then getting occasional updates about how white wing media continues to be BIG MAD at me behind a lie some nincompoop told about me.

In HS, I worked at radio station at 5am every Sun. My 1st day, my (Black) HS friend was in the parking lot w/the (much older, married, white) woman DJ who trained me.
It kept happening. Even after I trained, they’d meet outside at 5am & she was always SO excited to see him. twitter.com/jelani9/status…

Democrats need to run on abortion. Not women’s health care, repro health care, or repro rights.
Run on abortion. Say it. Explain what the GOP wants. People who thought that they were “pro life” don’t know what they were fighting for. They don’t want to bleed out in a hospital.

Worth reading the Kansas Supreme Court’s 2019 decision holding that the state constitution’s guarantee of “equal and inalienable rights” protects the right to abortion, which the people of Kansas resoundingly upheld today. It’s a stark contrast with Dobbs. kscourts.org/KSCourts/media

There are more people in America who are willing to believe in pizzagate and Stop the Steal than accept that one of thier precious oligarch NFL team owners was tanking games and rigging the draft. Flores deserved better

So… lemme get this straight, Herschel Walker lies about what the n-word is and Fox, the home of white supremacy media, doesn’t like it when I tell people what the GOP is really about.
Am I caught up or is there something more to this day that’s ending in Y?

Oh, there's another lie in the story about me. They say I didn't respond to a request for comment, but in fact they never reached out to me, my employer, or my agent trying to get comment.
I don't make a habit of responding to white wing media, but, they never asked.

You know what nobody has done in the four days they've been trying to make me a story... told me why Herschel Walker would make a better US Senator than Raphael Warnock.
It's almost like the people who come here to defend him don't *have* one of those reasons.

Hey, , I WORK FOR YOU BAD FAITH IDIOTS. And I didn’t say anything on TV that I didn’t WRITE DOWN weeks ago.
If y’all could just like READ, you’d see that your boy Herschel is lying again.
Then again, reading and facts isn’t your thing.

The Karen-ing going on in this Fox article is also just priceless. MSNBC has, famously, never paid me a dime, but Fox still really wants to talk to my manager.
