BREAKING: Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Alex Pretti.

The second it ended, the arena erupted into loud “F*ck ICE!” chants.

We need to have a conversation about Chi Lewis-Parry in The Bone Temple. He’s incredible. So effective and powerful with just his eyes.

I can’t in good conscience continue to work for Reuters given their betrayal of journalists in Gaza and culpability in the assassination of 245 our colleagues.
