NASCAR driver Ray Ciccarelli says he’s leaving sport after new Confederate flag policy -- (link) - Remlik Jun 11, 10:45 28

  - I don't think he had a traditional ride. I think he was owner / driver hence the everything for sale -- nm - JD Jun 11, 10:56
- I saw the original tweet last night and it was the last line that caught my eye. What say ST to owning a NASCAR Truck? - JD Jun 11, 10:51

Country music group Lady Antebellum changes name to Lady A -- (link) - Remlik Jun 11, 10:44 4
- Honestly it's a terrible name to begin with and this doesn't make it much better (though I understand it's problematic to do a full change). -- nm - pmb Jun 11, 10:54 2
  - It's got poetry about it if you don't think about the deeper meaning of the word - Reagen Jun 11, 11:08
  - i mean like half the time people just call them Lady A anyways, so simple move -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 11, 11:05
- There's a shocking amount of reckoning going on this week. No one wants to be the one left holding the bag. - Mop Jun 11, 10:51

You know, when it comes to slogans, it sickens me how much better the nutjob lunatics are. "All Lives Matter" - I've had to correct two friends from - JackDawson Jun 11, 10:22 13
- But: they're starting to lose. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 10:56 1
  - Yes. Inching, incremental progress being made. We even saw some crumbs after Parkland. - JackDawson Jun 11, 11:03
- the best comeback to All Lives Matter is the Jesus one I've seen - Beaker Jun 11, 10:26 10

How true is it in your opinion that in the US, politicians campaign on "adding [X $ amount] to police!" where police is seen as unqualified good -- (edited) - con_carne Jun 11, 10:12 4
- Here in California, they sure put it in the negative campaign ads when a Democrat sneezes in the general direction of a budget with less money - con_carne Jun 11, 10:18
- For example, "cop on every corner" seems to have a generational divide whether that's a good thing or bad thing. - con_carne Jun 11, 10:15
- The nearby city of Surrey is working to spin up a police force from nothing. So they've been doing that exact thing, but grander. Heh. - Beryllium Jun 11, 10:15 1
  - I'm afraid I don't have a concept of "sorry, there's not enough money for the cops." Even Clinton added billions for law enforcement. -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 11:07

  - Well, at some point someone will just up and say that it becomes tiresome for minorities to hear that because this happened to this minori - JackDawson Jun 11, 10:09 3
    - The rubes and the abuelitos tend to not get depicted in the media (it's always Edward James Olmos) -- (edited) - con_carne Jun 11, 10:42 2
      - In my experience it can be a mix. Some of the younger ones are the "deny my heritage" types. It really seems to be at the end of the day personality - JackDawson Jun 11, 11:04 1
        
        Although they'd probably dash right back to it if it was convenient, right? -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 11:12
- Ugh. So much for Texas and Arizona -- nm - JackDawson Jun 11, 10:02 5
  - I mean, he's still leading in AZ despite that. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 10:04 4
    - By a lot, which is confusing. Also, Floridian-Hispanics could be wildly skewing those numbers -- nm - JackDawson Jun 11, 10:10 3
      - Yeah. I assume Cuban-Americans are in particular different than other Hispanic groups. -- nm - Dano Jun 11, 10:11 2

  - RELEASE THE [blank] CUT! -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 11:12
- Are they people that read the books? -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 09:42 1
  - doubtful. -- nm - mud Jun 11, 10:09
90 minutes to the PS5 announcement. If you're wondering where Shaun is. -- (link) - Mop Jun 11, 09:27 [youtube] 2
- 5pm my time = no watchy live. I'll likely get to it around 8pm so I'll be in social media blackout mode for that timeframe. SAD! -- nm - Shaun Jun 11, 09:29
- 90 minutes x 2. Or... you know... 3 hours. -- nm - Mop Jun 11, 09:28

- what world are you on? Only 80 trillion light years from you! awesome!! -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 10:06
- So is this something we could all play together again? Pretty sure quite a few on here have Game Pass now, or own that on PS -- nm - JaxSean Jun 11, 09:43 3
  - Destiny should make an ST comeback. I'll bet Gambit would be a lot more fun in a 4 person fireteam. -- nm - Shaun Jun 11, 09:45 2

- I'm blissfully unaware of the stuff this guy says. Literally just found out on Democracy Now! there hasn't been a task force presser in about a month. - con_carne Jun 11, 09:17 3
  - I mean, I dont think anyone really misses them much. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 11, 09:21 2
    - I remember a couple of STers saying "no no, they should go on!" Who knows, maybe they didn't let on that they were fans of bullshit. -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 09:51 1
      - it was political theater that I was watching for sure. To see Trump one thing and then Fauci say "well actually" was amusing -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 10:21
