the NBA is full of the biggest and most athletic men imaginable, to the point that almost everyone in the league who is only 6 feet tall has to be an absolute freak of nature who can jump out of the gym just to survive now imagine how freakish you have to be to have a 14 year career at 5’3”

democratic victory while running on transphobia will be worse for us. when republicans propose anti-trans legislation you libs at least pretend to oppose it purely because 'orange man bad.' but when a democratic majority proposes it, or worse it's fully bipartisan, you fall in line.

Most of our presidents were rapists or abusers of some sort. We should probably sit with that in a more meaningful way than we do.

a famous clown with a slack, flat face interviews an insanely emotive confidence artist who promised magical bloodletting technology to the rich and powerful, on her way to prison. I guess after so many Phillip K. Dick Ws we had to throw a big sloppy one to Harlan Ellison too huh

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

"Specialists" are gonna focus on how we fought the algorithm, but a huge part of it was actually about people being on the streets educating others and changing their opinions. News media refused to tell people about the crimes and intentions of the bolsonaro family, so we did that ourselves.

Manga artist Tetsuya Chiba, best known for the boxing drama "Ashita no Joe," has died at 87, according to media reports on Tuesday.

It’s interesting that they can always find the money when necessary. We just have to make it necessary

Bumping this one for the evening crowd - this is the opportunity of a lifetime for me and I need to help to be able to take it. Any amount or share is so appreciated.
