  1. The surly secret society?
  2. Yep. My go to spot usually.
  3. Drops tomorrow on Amazon Prime. Gonna be tough to watch I think but hopefully it is good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pq5Usc_JDA https://tv.avclub.com/barry-jenkins-outdoes-himself-in-the-transcendent-under-1846804108 Barry Jenkins outdoes himself in the transcendent Underground Railroad In late April, a clip from Chelsea Handler’s 2016 series, Chelsea Does, in which a Confederate apologist compared enslaved human beings to farm equipment, went viral. What the man tells Handler isn’t that shocking to Black people educated in the South, but it’s still horrifying: “People were taken care of. Would you take a tractor that you just bought brand new and tear it up, misuse it? No, you’re going to take care of it, ’cause you just spent a pile of money on that. Those people produced their crops, worked their fields, so you’re not gonna mistreat something like that.” Cora Randall (Thuso Mbedu), the hero of Amazon Prime Video’s The Underground Railroad, is not a tractor. She’s a person who has never tasted pure, untainted freedom but nonetheless thirsts for it. No matter what the Constitution might’ve said at the time, freedom is the natural human condition and Cora is driven to escape her captivity. This puts her, like every enslaved person, in existential conflict with an evil institution. After all, a tractor or a piece of furniture won’t defy you, nor will it slip away at the first opportunity. Slavery could only function through the deliberate and ongoing dehumanization of a people. It was a torturous process that would begin anew with the birth of every Black child, but one that never fully succeeded, despite the chains and whips, because the human spirit is not so easily destroyed.
  4. Why? It's been like a week. We're all adults here who should be able to discuss this in a respectful manner. Silence seems just weird at this point.
  5. Fentanyl and its derivatives seem to be a common thread in a lot of these overdose deaths. They just drop fucking dead without any time to react. Many times they think they are taking oxy or something but it's fake oxy laced with fentanyl and every batch has a different amount with the line between getting high and overdosing being razor thin.
  6. An ex works for the county and they all know so I also know. I understand the respect angle but when does the statute of limitations end?
  7. How is wondering how someone died tragically being an asshole?
  8. Courtney might be perusing this board.
  9. When the next celebrity is found dead will we not be allowed to speculate until after the service? Would Surly delete all posts discussing how we think Cobain died?
  10. So do y'all know what the cause of death is?
  11. I feel like it's gonna throw us for a loop and end up being someone like the Mikey Day detective guy. He's super creepy to me.
  12. The entire must see tv lineup from 1994 getting rebooted next?
  13. You seem like an Aggie lean at the moment.
  14. I stopped taking message boards seriously years ago. They peaked in like 2006 imo. Now it's just fun entertainment for me.
  15. Did the homeless fuck your mother?
  16. Your mom's pussy tastes good you're right.
  17. Lol carpet baggers. What a dork.
  18. This might be the most idiotic thing I've ever read and it could have come directly from the Nazi playbook of the early 1930s. The Left created them too amirite? The Left caused the Civil War etc.
  19. Yea I figured. Online it appears like there are zero tickets available through the box office. Weird.
  20. Small MAGA dick energy.
  21. Is all of UT baseball sold out? I don't think I've ever looked on there and seen it completely sold out before.
  22. I still want to know how they coordinate which intersection different homeless occupy to harass drivers at stop lights. Do they have a homeless all hands on deck meeting at the end of the day? Before the work day?
  23. This one was a big meh for me. Not even fun bad or anything.
