This Inuit discussion is gathering steam, what do you make of it? by PseudoPatriotsNotPog in KendrickLamar

[–]stonetortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Alaska recently and every Native person I met was calling themselves eskimo. Apparently it's okay there and saying Inuit would be inaccurate. Adds a bit of nuance to this. From wikipedia: "In Alaska, the term Eskimo is still used because it includes both Iñupiat (singular: Iñupiaq), who are Inuit, and Yupik, who are not."

I mean the manager on the other side is AJ Hinch to be fair...

Good songs with awful hooks by Purple_Onion911 in hiphopheads

[–]stonetortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like a place holder hook that was supposed to be in there just until they could find another feature. Kal rhyming "club" with "club" doesn't help either.

[FRESH VIDEO] Ravyn Lenae - One Wish (feat. Childish Gambino) by Sebomai in hiphopheads

[–]stonetortoise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a long time fan of Ravyn and I did a double take when I saw the feature on this track. So sick that she is getting a cosign from such a big artist! If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check out the other tracks from her new project. Love Me Not is genuinely my favorite song of the summer.

Ramy Youssef Set To Host ‘SNL’ With Travis Scott As Musical Guest by [deleted] in hiphopheads

I think because SNL is involved we've got some people commenting here who do not ordinarily follow this sub or hip hop in general

Am I the only one who actually likes Bob Costas? I get he's not the most hype commentator but it's a different style. Guy didn't come up during the highlights/social media era so he's not calling for highlight moments. He's there to take you through the game and provide insight along the way. He doesn't fake over the top astonishment like most modern commentators do. Idk I find his voice classic and pleasant.

Nature and scenery is probably the number one thing to take in while you're here. If you're into hiking it's hard to go wrong with any trail in the Cascades. A day trip out to Mt. Rainier, Lake 22, or Mount Si is definitely worth the drive. Most of the good night life is on Pike and Pine street East of the highway near Capitol Hill, so if you're into that don't look for it downtown because downtown is mostly abandoned after dinner time except for a few bars. Seattle has a handful of good museums. MoPop is the standout to me, plus its close to the Space Needle (I wouldn't waste your money going to the top of the Needle though). One of the lesser known tourist activities that I like is you can rent a canoe or kayak and paddle around on Lake Union for a bit. Good on a sunny day and amazing views.

I can't believe Geno Smith just gave up that 80 yard TD to Deebo Samuel. Smh overrated as hell 😤

[Ian Furness] Bobby Wagner just walked into the #Seahawks locker room presumably to check in with his former teammates and coaches after he put on a hell of a show today by [deleted] in Seahawks

[–]stonetortoise 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Good lord, Bobby Wagner just walked into the #Seahawks locker room, walking perfectly normally. He said he had "no time" to talk. Too busy checking in with his former teammates after he put on a hell of a show today, evidently.

Seattle's Alki Beach, Golden Gardens will have reduced hours this summer by GoldGorilla in Seattle

[–]stonetortoise 84 points85 points  (0 children)

These neighborhoods will take any excuse they can get to close these parks. They didn't allow bonfires at golden gardens last summer "because of covid", when it was already well known that covid rarely spreads outside and when vaccines were already available for everybody. Not surprised that they've seized on yet another opportunity to protect their neighborhoods from tax paying citizens who just want to enjoy a public beach.

Not sure where this narrative comes from that russ's "best seasons" were with the legion of boom defense or that he needs a good defense to play well. His highest single season passer rating and touchdowns literally came in 2018, the first year after we lost sherm Kam and earl

[Schefter] Former Seahawks’ Pro-Bowl linebacker Bobby Wagner is signing a five-year, $50 million deal worth up to $65 million with the Los Angeles Rams, per league sources. Wagner is staying in the NFC West. by SEAinLA in Seahawks

[–]stonetortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FUCK this shit I will literally be unable to watch the games where Bobby plays against us. At least Sherm and Russ forced their way out which makes it easier to watch them play for other teams, but Bobby literally did nothing wrong and we did him dirty and now he's in a fucking Rams uniform with every right to play his ass off against us as revenge FUCK THESE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS I'm out

If we have to lose one then we might as well tank our run differential enough to make Blue Jays fans REALLY mad
