This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Tom Skerritt was such a natural and was so good in so many things that everyone will, rightly, associate him with different films/shows. For me, it's TOP GUN and STEEL MAGNOLIAS. He was so likable, largely because he wasn't trying to be. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

For so much of my career as a game writer, Bioware stood as the pinnacle of our craft. It's been a long, slow decline, and I knew their last project was troubled, but this still feels like the end of a golden era

I’m no foreign policy expert but no one should have this much power. “Starlink provides a lifeline for Ukrainian forces on the front lines attacking Russian troops and defending themselves from strikes. With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict.”

I'd like to remind Trump administration that after Iran war started, Ukraine deployed experts and technology to the Middle East to help Gulf states defend themselves against Iranian drones and protect US bases in the region, while Russia provided targeting information to Iran.

What a stunning statement. It seems to be this commentators honest assessment. Texas - Vote for James Talarico!

Fox commentator: Paxton doesn't have any values. I don't know how he'll vote. I suspect he'll vote for whoever the highest bidder is, which is certainly what we've seen him do in the Attorney General’s Office.

Ossoff: "I have no interest in running for president in 2028, and to be very frank, with just 16 days before the polls close, I want to urge everybody out there to remain focused on the task at hand.

Trump started an illegal war, prices are through the roof, Americans are hurting, & yet he lays awake thinking about how to screw our DC neighbors & take over their public parks. Out of touch doesn’t even begin to describe it.

China went bankrupt? How did I miss that? And what about Denmark and Ireland and the UK and Germany and Portugal and Lithuania? They're all bankrupt now? And IDK how Uruguay is doing, but they get almost half their energy from wind. The president is a moron and a liar.
