I didn't either, if we're making confessions

I just thought it would be a funny followup

You are Orlando Bloom and I claim my five pounds.

Just Googled this. Has it reappeared in modern culture or are you just ancient?

Didn't watch any of it yesterday, just saw Trump leaving for Florida and his last hour as President, that was all I needed to see. Just fuck off you horrible bastard.

Good luck Joe.

As t3ch said, Amanda Gorman was fantastic, especially for a 22 year old. For those who missed it:

WATCH: Amanda Gorman reads inauguration poem, 'The Hill We Climb'

After Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president, Gorman read “The Hill We Climb,” building on a tradition of poets -- including Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Alexander and Richard Blanco -- who have read for incoming Democratic presidents.

She actually grew up with a stammer i believe which made it even more incredible.

Apparently a slightly different speech impediment, but definitely something challenging:

Gorman also had to work to overcome a speech impediment as a child. She explained to The Harvard Gazette in 2018 that she had an auditory disorder that caused her to “hear and process information differently than other people.”

In a January 2021 interview with NPR, she specified that her speech impediment included difficulty pronouncing certain letters of the alphabet, including the letter R. “I’d want to say ‘girls can change the world,’ but I cannot say so many letters in that statement, so I’d say things like ‘young women can shape the globe,’” she told NPR. “I would be in the bathroom scribbling five minutes before trying to figure out if I could say ‘Earth’ or if I can say ‘girl’ or if I can say ‘poetry.’ And you know, doing the best with the poem I could.”

Gorman told the Los Angeles Times that she now believes the disorder may have enhanced her skills as a writer. “I don’t look at my disability as a weakness. It’s made me the performer that I am and the storyteller that I strive to be. When you have to teach yourself how to say sounds, when you have to be highly concerned about pronunciation, it gives you a certain awareness of sonics, of the auditory experience.”

Binning private prisons off is an excellent start.

 

[t3ch]

private prisons are a fucking plague.

a lot of good efforts so far. see how things look in a month or two when the executive orders die down and legislation enters gridlock

 

[Tony Towner]

Not Biden, but she's the leader of the Democratic House. This is bonkers

Tremendous speech the other day. If he backs it up it'll be amazing.

 

[Pablowolf]

It's nice for America to have a President you don't hear much about and only for good things when you do...unless you watch Fox News or follow Donald Trump Jr on Twitter.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If he gets his legislation through it will be one serious game changer. So I expect Touché Turtle McConnell to fuck it, as Republicans gotta Republican.

 

[Alan]

It's just nice to have a president again who doesn't make me nervous every time he opens his mouth.
