Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
BREAKING NEWS: The entire Trump family has decided to do ONE good thing for humanity and move all their wretched, repugnant criminal family to an island in the middle of nowhere where the fat orange pig can be King and decent people don't have to interact with them:
Legendary coach who maid 100 million on the backs of unpaid labor. Now wants to regulate the earnings of those who can finely earn fair market value. This is clown behavior.

NEW: Crumbl just launched a drink containing a staggering 186 grams of sugar — nearly half a pound of sugar in a single serving. That’s about the same as drinking 5 cans of Coke or eating roughly 19 Krispy Kreme donuts.
🚨 **Big changes might be coming to how you buy Pokémon cards.**
To fight scalpers and bots, The Pokémon Company is considering requiring **government issued ID verification** for premium TCG lottery events and exclusive drops.
It stops the bots but are you willing to show your ID just to buy cardboard? 🤔
Mick Foley recalls a phone call from someone high up in WWE after he announced he wouldn’t be associated with the company anymore:
“The first [call] was, ‘I respect your stance and I’ll tell the people in charge.’ And then I did receive a call from someone really high up, I don’t know if he wants me to mention his name. But he was saying, ‘Well, Paul [Levesque] is just on the physical fitness group they have. And Linda [McMahon] hasn’t worked in WWE in x amount of years.’
And I said, ‘Well, theoretically that’s the case, but I could’ve sworn I saw Paul behind the president’s shoulder when he was making policy.’ Whether Linda’s been working for the company or not, her last name is McMahon and she’s associated with the company. And then I said, ‘Come on. Five people in the Oval Office took the Stunner.’
And so he appreciated it. He did say he respected it. I didn’t close the door forever. I said in my announcement as long as this man is in office. I think more and more people are realizing that some of the things he’s doing are just cruelty for the sake of cruelty and enriching himself.”

These two are literally an example of giving people who don’t get tv time or have storylines a fucking chance to show that they can work.
You have an Olympic wrestler and technical wrestler from Germany take over a Mexican Professional Wrestling company
Abdul Carter when asked if Jaxson Dart apologized, via @SNYGiants:
"Nah, I don't want him to say he's sorry. Stand on what you believe in, but it can't be a problem when I stand on what I believe in.
Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time:
"Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things.
Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us.
If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.
That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk.
As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter.
I just want to move past this."
Shannon Sharpe says the biggest difference in game 6 was SGA not getting all the foul calls:
“You see the difference when they don’t every time SHAI LOOK AT SOMEBODY, THEY BLOW THE WHISTLE. YOU SEE THIS? You see the difference when he’s shooting three, four free throws. Now he still Oh, he going to fall now. He going to shoot a shot and fall. If I didn’t know better hell, I thought the snipers had got him. I’m like, “Damn, BRO. CAN YOU STAY UP? WHY YOU KEEP FALLING EVERY TIME YOU SHOOT THE BALL? HE LIKE ONE OF THEM FAINTING GOATS.”
