Curry Barkers obsession is crazy how good it is being a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Also how does the whole story and humor and pacing somehow has the same pacing and turns as his short comedy sketches.

Eric Kripke reacts to evangelical leaders praising a gold statue of Trump in the same week as people praised to a gold statue of Homelander in ‘THE BOYS’.

“Seriously, what the fuck?”

Minnesota has JUST charged white supremacist Jake Lang with 2 FELONY HATE CRIMES (5+ years in prison) for knocking over this ice sculpture. Trump can’t pardon him from these crimes.
Bye fucker!

The dog in this photo was written off as a failure. His breeder thought he was too slow for racing, had him neutered, and stuck him on a freight team hauling cargo for miners. Two years later, Balto ran 53 miles through a -50°F blizzard to save a town of dying children.

In January 1925, diphtheria hit Nome, Alaska. Diphtheria kills kids. It coats the throat with a thick film until the child can't breathe. The only medicine was 674 miles away in Nenana. A blizzard grounded Alaska's only two planes. The port had frozen solid. Nome was cut off.

Officials turned to a dog sled relay: twenty drivers and 150 dogs running the medicine across Alaska in a chain.

Balto wasn't picked to lead on that run. He had been benched his whole life. But one of the drivers, a guy named Gunnar Kaasen, worked at the same mining company where Balto pulled freight and thought everyone had underestimated him. Kaasen got handed the final 53 miles into Nome. He put Balto at the front of the team anyway.

Halfway through the blizzard, Balto froze in place. Kaasen looked down and saw why: the ice on the Topkok River had cracked open under his paws. One more step and the whole team would have dropped through. Later, a gust flipped the sled and the medicine canister fell into a snowdrift. Kaasen dug for it bare-handed and got frostbite. They reached Nome at 5:30 AM on February 2, 1925.

Seven people in Nome died during the outbreak. The actual number was higher. Indigenous Alaskan deaths weren't being counted.

Balto wasn't actually the main hero. Another of his breeder's dogs, a husky named Togo, had run 261 miles of the worst stretch, including a shortcut across cracking sea ice. Togo's driver, Leonhard Seppala, spent years trying to correct the record. The newspapers just liked Balto's name better.

And the fame ate him alive. Kaasen toured Balto doing stage shows for two years, then sold him to a circus owner. By 1927, Balto and six teammates were starving in a freak show in Los Angeles. A Cleveland businessman named George Kimble saw them and lost it. The owner wanted $2,000 (about $36,000 today) and gave Kimble ten days. Kimble told the story in the Cleveland newspaper. Kids dropped pennies into jars at drugstores. Cleveland raised every dollar in ten days.

Balto lived out his years at Cleveland's zoo and died on March 14, 1933, at fourteen. The museum preserved his body. The dog in that photo is him.

In 2023, UC Santa Cruz and Cornell scientists read his full DNA from a tiny piece of preserved skin. Balto was only partly Siberian husky, mixed with Alaskan sled dogs, Greenland sled dogs, and Tibetan mastiffs. Genetically more varied and healthier than almost any purebred dog alive today.

His statue has been in Central Park since 1925. The plaque at the base reads: Endurance. Fidelity. Intelligence.
