Hi new peeps - Sometimes I will post about wrestling, and I'll try to use #WWEngel for that. I will also sometimes post about D&D and will try to use #DNDEngel - so if you don't wanna see that nonsense, you can mute those hashtags

James Shields won the last #WorldSeries game at The Trop in 2008 💙 He delivered tonight's first pitch alongside former Rays manager Joe Maddon!

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

liberty mutual was the only advertiser who stuck with tucker carlson after he said mexicans were "filth" so whatever fantasies you have about torturing the mascot are morally correct

Not for nothing but he's just making shit up, telling his audience that Omar is no longer in Congress when she most certainly is.

a spectacle of fascism as Trump demands Ilhan Omar resign and says Democrats have conceded her seat, and the 20-something dude bros behind him leap up and start cheering

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

What a diiiick

The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Trip home to visit family. After my first step in the door, my 5yo nephew "do you have games on your phone?" Good to see you too, buddy. The 3yo has two favorite words right now, too: "ass" and "weiner" So it's gonna be an amusing weekend.

@rufustsuperfly.bsky.social has kindly reminded us it’s Christopher Lloyd’s 88th birthday today it’s the perfect excuse for me to share this scene from ‘Taxi.’ Pure comedy genius. The timing, the pauses, the glances down. Awesome. “What does the yellow light mean?” Enjoy! youtu.be/piPz1prPrzs?...

Obvious electoral rake-stepping aside, at what point is anyone going to acknowledge that young men are not “locked out” of the economy by some nefarious entity (women), they are literally feeding all of their disposable income into the gaping maw of sportsbetting apps. It’s actually quite simple.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com

Frustrated younger, male voters feeling locked out of the economy and diminishing opportunities are rapidly abandoning the Republican coalition, or straight up opting out of political action altogether
