Eleven days ago at Blue Ridge Animal Rescue in Asheville, North Carolina, a tiny black terrier mix named Wren arrived from a neglect case, Severely underweight Completely shut down. Wouldn't eat.!
Wouldn't lift her head. Staff tried everything for five days. Nothing reached her. Then there was Chester. A twelve year-old Great Pyrenees, Surrendered four years ago. Never adopted. Too old, people say. Too big. But shelter directon Mara says quietly: "Chester has settled more broken dogs than anything else we've tried!" Night five, Chester walked across the kennel and lay down beside Wren. By morning she had eaten her first full meal. Chester is still available for adoption. Still showing up fo the ones nobody else can reach.
A whole ass Commissioner Cup played and won by the Liberty and not one single person talking about it because AT wanna play victim. Caitlin Clark the only name on everyone’s lips good, bad, or ugly. The WNBA should be straight up embarrassed.
PabloReports: How do House Republicans make the case that you're fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?
Nehls: Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes.
Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and rib eyes and all of that?
Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do.
@river_dusty Did you watch college basketball in the CC era? Really watch? She took a team, elevated the play of ALL, and gave us back-to-back title games.
Come on.
The saddest part of the Caitlin Clark discourse is that we will never be able to have a nuanced conversation about her. We literally have people saying "she isn't that good and has been playing below average". When in reality she's having a career year and putting up mvp numbers.
Mercury players on supporting Alyssa Thomas:
"We’re with AT. We just wish it would have been handled the right way. We wish somebody also called her and checked on her and made sure that she was okay. I don't think it played out how it should have professionally.” - Kahleah Copper
"Kind of like Kah said. We don’t think it was handled the best way. There’s a lot of narratives going around that are false and untrue. It’s not who she is or how she is." - Lexi Held
