“While NFT may not be able to spread as quickly as free content online, and they require you to delve into the world of digital currency. Any method that allows content creators to potentially control their work more is worth looking into.”

“Clevelanders have a long history with corrupt politicians and Shontel Brown doesn't fit the bill.”

“A lot changes in high school from year to year, and 'On My Block,' season 4 uses that time away like your old summer vacation to remind us just how much has changed but also raise the stakes on what will bring the main cast back together.”

“There are a number of people out there who want to grade what Biden has done on a 'he's not Trump' curve, but I'm not willing to re-evaluate every previous functional president with some sort of Trump 'grade inflation.'”

“Every once in a while Disney shocks viewers with some unintentionally extra-Black revolutionary messaging in their movies and TV shows.”

“Everybody has to know rules and agree to the rules before the game starts, otherwise, you're not really playing, or worse, you are playing two completely different games.”

“What turned white women from the pejorative 53% to the blue wave of 2018? Brett Kavanaugh. Those hearings were so explosive, so horrific and so offensive to so many Americans, especially women, especially white women, that they voted in droves, and gave Democrats a 40-seat majority in the House of Representatives.”

“While we know that the byzantine laws of every state and ridiculous union contracts make convicting and firing police officers almost impossible, if states would pro-actively revoke police licenses, bad cops would be off the streets before they can hurt anyone again.”

“As a general rule it's not good to jump onto too much analysis of an election 24 hours after people have cast votes. There's a tendency to hot take the results to death, to proclaim with loud click-baity certainty that what just happened will reverberate for years to come positively or negatively for some party.”

“I don't care if you're playing backyard football, having a dinner party or dropping off the kids at your Mom's house, there have to be ground rules.
