one of those nights that i hope causes some change

i was really proud of the NBA guys last night calling off their games in light of the Jacob Blake shooting. so did most of the teams in the MLS, some of the teams in MLB and of course, the NHL, who is always late to the party regarding anything to do with race, didn't do anything. the funny thing to me was all the people bitching about not having any basketball to watch last night. news flash, if you were upset about not having the games being played, you're part of the fucking problem with this country. how fucking hard is it to think of black people as fellow human beings? never forget boys and girls, racism is taught. turning a blind eye to it is you condoning it. these are the hard conversations we should have had after the fucking civil war. instead, we let the losers of that war tell the story of it. maybe one of these days, someone will actually teach the truth about it, about the police in this country and their sole duty to being created to hunt down the slaves. just imagine how many wearing a badge today still think that is their mission...

the Yankees lost both games of their doubleheader last night in Atlanta. Gerrit Cole's winning streak came to an end in the first game (5-1 loss) and the bullpen wasted a gem from Tanaka in the second game (2-1 loss). of course, Aaron Judge got injured again in the second game. i'm not sure which voodoo doctor the team needs to see to lift this fucking injury curse. they are off again tonight before they start a weekend series with the Mets. 2 doubleheaders in 3 days, joy.

NXT was excellent last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i expect Janelle to be voted out tonight.

Cari & Jemele Stick to Sports was pretty good last night.

here are some highlights from the NHL games yesterday:

i stayed up last night watching hurricane Laura coverage. i'm hoping my friends in Louisiana and Texas are doing fine in the aftermath.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW, Big Brother, Desus & Mero and Cake. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

mom has an appointment this afternoon with her eye doctor. her eyes have gotten worse once again. she's more or less fucking blind at this point. joy.

after that, she wants to go out to eat at Perkins. it's right down the road from her eye doctor.

hard to believe it's been 30 years since Stevie Ray Vaughan died. i remember the exact spot i was in when i heard the news...

so i found out this morning that Paul Pogba tested positive for COVID-19. joy.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

until then...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuick hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

Estoy tan harto de la ignorancia permitida en este país

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
