Dis 'N Dat

[aka Contrarian]

So, I know y'all are dyin to hear about TLC's Chilli and prolific baby maker Nick Cannon catching hell on social media for pro Trump remarks. 

Nick Cannon, throwing his support to Trump ala Nikki Minaj, declared that the Democrat party founded the KKK and Republican  Abe Lincoln freed the slaves. Statements that a swarm of black history put him to dame about. 

Chilli, meanwhile, is in hot water with Salt 'N Pepper and her TLC partner,T-Boz, for contributing to a Trump fund and posting an unflattering rumor on FB about Michelle Obama's sexuality, causing a fan backlash that's affecting ticket sales for the upcoming tour the 2 acts are about to launch.  tsk-tsk

There's been a lot of back-tracking and excuses but fans are furious with these 2 sell-outs.

What's up with these black celebs suddenly consorting with the enemy???

Oh  well. Good thing my State University is filling the void in my life left by the end of the football season. The U.of I  basket ball team has made it all the way to the Final 4 in the NCAA March Madness tournament.

Let's hear it for the Fighting Illini! 

Incidentally, the face of college basketball has really changed. Nothing but a spate of second generation pale giants with wild black hair, the off-spring of pro basket ball players who married white gurls, not to mention an influx of  hulks from Europe finding spots in the USA  hoop circuit.

Speaking of tall guys, I was impressed to hear that Tyler Perry was spotted at the Atlanta Airport passing out 100 dollar gift cards to the unpaid workers. Nice gesture,

Madea.

 

Bored yet? Too bad.

 

I'm sure  you know that Michael B. Jordan won the Oscar for his role in "Sinners" . But did you know he's hookin' up with Eddie Murphy for a remake (or sequel) to "Harlem Nights".  WooWoo

 

OK. I'm done. Gonna go play a little cards with AI players before I retire. These bots may be impressive in some areas, but they aren’t good Bridge partners. In Bridge the bidding is what the game is all about because once that's out of the way it's pretty much like Whist so it's very important to have rapport with your partner even to the point of invoking ESP. You are literally communicating in card language and there is simply no substitute for intuitive good judgment, of knowing when to circumvent standard strategy and go with your gut feeling. 

 

Buh-Bye

Some celebrities will do &/or say the most ridiculous to include revealing their ignorance in order to maintain relevance.

 

As the late Honorable Malcolm X said back in the 1960s, if entertainers are leaders, we have a bigger problem.

Congrats to your alma mater in making it to the Final Four.

The bots are convenient when calling up a few friends isn't in the cards.

 

The invention of computer games allowing humans to play with themselves was the precursor to social isolation.

 

As humans become more silo'd, AI will become the perfect companion to some.

 

AI won't do dishes or give out hugs & kisses but it won't require anything of humans either. Zero sum fun.

@ProfDI tried to edit my post to correct some omissions I made but a feature on this site caĺling itself "Go Daddy" blocked me. Must've gotten offended because I bad-mouthed AI.

Anyway, it's divine of you to humor my crazy midnight ramblings with your feed-back, which is usually more interesting than what I've said.

So, - there's that...

The Go Daddy web-host blocks certain things for me too depending which of my devices I'm using to post.

...yeah basically.  I made that observation myself, thought I don't hear it expressed very often perhaps that is considered poor form.  It is the kind of observation I would expect @Pioneer1 to comment about, albeit wrapped in some conspiracy.

I was always curious about bridge when I learned it had similarities to whist which I play pretty regularly now. Bidding makes all the difference in Whist too.

No doubt. 

 

Lazy people are already using Roombas to vacuum.  Dishwashers have been around forever.

 

Socially awkward & lonely people have been collecting toys & blow-up dolls for several decades too.

 

Just like in the movie Demolition Man, I can see the same type of people migrating to Virtual Reality (VR) & other forms of electronic/AI-assisted stimulation.

I thought I actually DID address it some time ago, lol.

Just like they tried to use lighter and lighter skinned and mixed race artists (like Paula Abdul and Mariah Carey)  to replace Black artists in the music industry.....they are attempting to do the same in the sports industry by sending these White women after Black athletes to produce lighter and Whiter children with the same athletic gifts and talents.

Remember the movie "Get Out" where the White girl was sitting in bed deciding which Black man she was going to go after next?
On her back wall she had all kinds of poster of Black basketball players and other Black men she was planning to target....lol.

They say that these brutha start making money and CHOOSE White women, but in reality....a lot of the time White girls are SENT to these Black men and choose on them hard as if to push away any Black female competition.

[aka Contrarian]

Just pick up on pioneer's crazy whining and bitching about the "they" who he imagines are out to devalue dark skin folks in the country that apparently doesn't return his love for it.

Befuddled? Yes.

But then, consistency has never been his strong suit. He's so busy hating on Americans he forgets how much he apparently loves America.

So befuddled he thinks I should leave the country and sign my retirement pension over to AALBC so I can live in poverty else where.

Watta dumbbell.

It was just a suggestion....lol.....think over it.

Who said anything about you living in poverty?
We'll keep the SS checks, but atleast you'll still get your pension to pinch off of!

[aka Contrarian]

@Pioneer1 As usual, your attempt at humor falls flat because nothing about it has any basis in the truth. Just a variation on your strawman false scenarios.

The quote I said resonated with me implied that America was the best of the worst which are all the other flawed countries.

I never expressed any desire to leave this country. Except in your skewed imagination.

If she can't afford to, we'll pay for her ticket.
But one way only.....not round trip."

"We" aint gonna do shit. It's all you can do to keep from being consumed by your malignant persona. 

[Pioneer1]

"Hey...know what?
We'll send you somewhere with no snakes or pesky insects.
Like Greenland or the North Pole.
How about that.  Would ya' like that?"

It's no accident that you've adopted Trump as your alter-ego. You're 2 of a kind. Narcissistic psychopaths removed from reality. Ramble on.

Maybe the DOJ, IRS, or FINRA paid them a visit.

@ProfD...and the watch party count down begins, as the  crucial game between the Illini and UConn is about to tip off.

Hopefully, some of that orange and blue BEAR magic will infuse Illinois' same colors and culminate in a win and a trip to the finals!

Who you pickin? Like with the BEARS, I'm just grateful for a good season!

               GO TEAM, GO!!

[ProfD]

@aka Contrarian....late on the response but I thought UConn would win that game.

 

I'm going with Arizona getting past Michigan to meet UConn in the championship game.

 

In my tournament challenge, I picked Arizona to win it all. We'll see.

 

On the women's side, I'm glad the South Carolina Gamecocks under head coach Dawn Staley sent undefeated UConn packing.

 

IMO, NCAA Tournament Basketball is more fun to watch because those kids play their hearts out.

[aka Contrarian]

 It's the BEARS all over again for me. Illinois at least made it to the final. Can't win 'em all.   

  Yeah, nothing compares to the youthful enthusiasm associated with March Madness. 

Guess I'll root for Michigan, the Big 10 team now. Great to see the Fab 5 on the scene, all still alive and well.

The poor sportsmanship displayed by the coach of the UConn's women's team is getting more press than the actual game. Not surprising.

So far, Michigan is running away with the game.  Arizona seems completely out-matched tonight.

UConn's head coach short-circuited like a robot drenched in water after that azz whupping the Gamecocks put on his Huskies. 

 

That's what happens when a team is undefeated & believing in their invincibility.  The only way to go is down. 

 

Poetic because UConn crushed South Carolina last year.

 

I predicted South Carolina would win the women's championship. 

 

Hopefully, head coach Dawn Staley & the lady Gamecocks can finish the assignment & hoist the NCAA championship trophy.

[aka Contrarian]

@ProfDProfD  Well, so much for Arizona.

Michigan looks like the real deal. Guess having the Fab Five show up brought them luck.

Right. The Wolverines put it on the Wildcats from the opening whistle & never let up. Dominant performance.

 

I believe Michigan will be national champions on Monday night.

Well , you were right! Michigan did it. It was a good game! A team from the BIg10 takes it all! Meanwhile the Chicago BULLs' season was a total bust, resulting in the firing of their GM and VP of player operations. 

 

 

Speaking of games, looks like aalbc's favorite loser has surfaced.

After his usual strawman cherry-pickin, false equivalent non sequitur tactics all bombed, he's now tryin to gaslight!  Smh and lmao. He really is a piece of work; a never-say-die captive of cognitive dissonance.

Michigan put in a solid performance in taking down UCONN last night. 

 

Wolverines derailed any thoughts of a 3-time championship for the Huskies same team.

 

Great championship win for the Wolverines who didn't even make the NCAA tournament a season or so ago.

The bigger news for the Chicago Bulls a month ago was cutting their star player over anti-gay comments he made.   

 

Former Bulls player Jayden Ivey says God led him to express his sentiment.   

 

No worries...Jayden Ivey is still rich regardless of whether he lands on another team or not. 

 

It remans to be seen whether or not Jayden's white wife will stick around & stand by him or leave & take 1/2 of his bag.

[aka Contrarian]

@ProfDJayden supposedly has a history of mental illness. The last straw was apparently when he began proselytizing his homophobic views in the locker room, trying to convert his teammates. 

Lotta crazy bigots out there, even  around here where an obsessive resentment against light-skinned blacks has polluted the atmosphere.

I find it amazing that Jayden was able to play basketball for all these years before his *mental illness* became a liability.  Kinda similar to Kanye West.
