The world suffers because this giant dork doesn’t feel comfortable being like this all the time. This is who he really is. But because of toxic masculinity he tries to convince us that he’s Tony Stark & not a lonely nerd who was born on third base but still had to buy friends.

Fun fact: Josh Hart now has four complete games in the playoffs, a total which would have led the American League every year since 2017

I hope every disabled/immunocompromised child’s family sues the school district when their kids are inevitably hospitalized, killed, or end up with long COVID.

that is how even more people fucking die.

Stunned @abcnews have confirmed @antoinette_news was sacked for sharing a post from @hrw because they deemed it too "controversial" to share a finding from the world's most credible human rights org.

This will create a dangerous chilling effect in the ABC https://t.co/gA7TCgCYxH

Stranger & stranger, but at least it’s not war & peace being written here daily, they’ve no moved on to some weird romance genre.

the nfl spent a lot of time last year, post-Tua, about how they'd be overly cautious. no concussion eval for Mahomes after the helmet crack last night. whatever that just was for Stafford just now. so ... yeah.

A huge loss for us. An exceptional host and colleague.

Clearing out America's elite tier by doing MeToo but for plagiarism would be a deeply funny cultural moment and I would be all for it.

.@HouseDemocrats made this possible through the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped insulin costs for those on Medicare at $35 a month.

No Republican joined us to take on Big Pharma.

If you think about it 99 Red Balloons was a prescient warning about the dangers of low quality AI imagine identification software. Shoulda plagiarised more balloon pics lads.
