I fucking love America because it's a place that encourages you to fail. Blow up your life. Fall without a safety net. Start 7 businesses and go bankrupt. Join a cult. Get divorced 6 times. Make a ton of money in a ridiculous scheme and then blow it all on bad investments. Build a hydroponic shrimp tank business in your basement. Enroll your kids in a school where they practice telepathy. Have a secret family. Shoot your foot off with a gun. Buy drugs that make you go insane. Drive your RV off a cliff. Crash your own private plane off the coast during a storm. In America, you can fail so fast, and so hard, and so beautifully—every one of us has the opportunity to blow our wings off flying toward a crazy dream.
In an interview Kingsley said that the key to the character of Don for him was when he realized that Don had been abused as a child. After hearing that, the character’s unhinged behavior made more sense to me.

The constant dehumanization of Caitlin Clark should be studied. Everyone using her to push an agenda. Everyone in the media using her for clout, clicks, and subscriptions. The league using her for views, ticket sales, merch sales, attention, sponsorships. Other players using her as a scapegoat. And as a punching bag.
And no one actually gives a shit that she’s just a 24 year old kid who grew up desperately wanting to be great. Who worked her ass off to get there. Who was so excited to join the wnba and play alongside the women she grew up idolizing. Who has done nothing but be respectful and deferential in the media. Who always says the right thing. Who has done her best to appease people who seem hellbent on hating her simply for existing.
Truth is, it doesn’t matter what she does or says. It will never be good enough. The “activist league” who claims to care so much about protecting women, and “no space for hate”, and protecting the mental health of the players has spent three years tearing down, isolating, and bullying a kid. A kid who just wants to hoop. A kid whose only crime was being really really good at basketball and becoming really really popular for it.
It’s gross to watch. And history will not look kindly on those who are involved.

@WelcomeTheGulag@jacksonhinkle Too bad the files released from the KGB in a 1990s after the wall fell completely refute your stupid propaganda
The KGB files revealed that they were in fact Soviet Spies

Today was a good MAHA woods hike of 5.38 miles, I sprayed myself with some repellent that had 40% DEET in it. I got no ticks this time so that worked, last weekend I had a record two dozen! 🫤
It was 80F today with all sun for the most part. 🤗
Used a fun glowy type filter thingie which I would use for an album cover.
@DailyMail Ticks every one of the "possible knob indicators"

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
