When was the last time you watched a Lupo stream? You do understand the amount of good and activity he does for all communities, including POC? Seems strange to actively target a creator who quite literally just streamed with Congresswoman

to encourage voting.
Hey

fans, another addition to the squad just landed!
Be sure to show your aloha to

I mean, absolutely blindsiding everyone with that email. How don’t you communicate before that? How do you release a plan and start the plan and then CANCEL THE PLAN. Frustration at an unreal level with lack of communication that things were changing so quickly.

Hey buddy, I know it’s really scary for all the non-rational thinkers right now :(
Just focus on last night’s Titans game! That should make you feel better :)
I love my mom.
The time she’s given to IC, to continue to hear from students (and friends) how they loved her as a professor, and her love for this school are so amazing.
Today was her last class @ IC after 22 years and being an alum herself. Fuck the APP. Congratulations mom💙

Kobe Bryant impacted my entire generation. His attention to detail is something I strived to have as a player, and still as a coach.
I still say “Kobe” when I shoot things into a trash can. Even after retirement, he never left the spotlight.
This is tragic.
