Totally fair. I only started paying attention after hearing a podcast about how the letter "D" is pronounced in names in some other cultures. I was doing it wrong. It was a similar issue with position of the tongue when saying words like "dentist" compared to "dog".

Reading differences in pronunciation can be difficult, but in regard to tongue placement when saying these words, when saying "blush", the tip of the tongue should press against the inside of the top-front teeth. When saying "brush", the tongue should curl back and lightly press on the inside right and left side of the back teeth.

Agreed, and a big advertisor exodus from Twitter would help.

If he launched into space and accidentally crashed into his own orbiting Tesla, it would go a long way towards balancing the karmic scales.

Yes it is, and crashing Tesla stock will certainly make him less rich. He still has his other shit companies, so crashing Tesla stocks alone won't make him poor, but we might not have to hear quite so much about him.

When he said that he could grab women "by the pussy", he followed through with it when he raped E Jean Carroll. But when he said that he "could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody", I don't think that he has so far.

It seems that his voters are thinking that he's not serious about the murder thing, but it's okay if he's serious about the rape thing, when it's quite likely that he's serious about both.

Common mistake among editors is the misspelling of "obvious"

Can't he just drive it to a "safe space"?

Hella respect for this move, and i like the look of these. I just wish it had come at a time before I was concerned about the price of everything that I need to survive sky rocketing. Would have purchased 2 years ago.

I didn't know if it would be too "on-line". The "got any grapes" line is from a popular kid's song about an annoying duck, and the pun, "Beef or eel" is a take on the shorthand, "Be for real" to express that someone should be more serious

"Look man, all I'm saying is that if it wasn't for that song most people wouldn't even know how to spell bananas".

One of?

Does Snoop Dogg performing for the Trump crypto ball or whatever the shit that was count as selling out?

Didn't he win his last election with something like 94% of the vote. The dude is outrageously popular... or there might be something else going on.

I'm afraid what you heard me say is, "a lot of drugs". What I said is, "all the drugs".-

Have kids. I absolutely adore my kids and have no regrets, but also recognize that I'm in a relatively stable situation where having kids doesn't create other unmanageable challenges for me and my wife. We carefully considered our capacity to have and raise kids. They were not all comfortable conversations. I am glad to have waited to have kids until I was in a good and stable place, and also can no longer imagine what it would have been like to not have these absolutely wonderful little monsters both spoiling and making every moment more magnificent.

Perhaps the message should have been that Snoop was never really in "our" corner. His interests have probably not been in looking out for other people, and so maybe we shouldn't be surprised that he makes a decision that benefits him while (what most expect) harms most of the rest of us.

Maybe the take away is that we shouldn't assume that any celebrities, even if they have voiced support for marginalized people in the past, will take action that isn't in their self interest. I won't echo the sentiment that there is "nothing wrong" with this, but expecting people to act against their self interest may be a bit like trying to shame Sam Jackson's character from Django Unchained.

I recognize it was sarcasm, but in case you have any people in your life that argue that this cold snap disproves climate change, NOAA made this nice graphic to show what's causing the unusual cold.
