Said a day after a white supremacist sought to kill people at a Hindu temple. Not a word about the anti-Indian rhetoric within his own party that has put South Asians and his own family members in danger. Instead continues to play footsie with people who see non-white citizens as guests, at best.

JD Vance calls El-Sayed "a little weasel who should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude"

Search Party got so bad toward the end someone should have filed a class-action lawsuit.

What TV show got so bad it effectively destroyed your appreciation for the show when it was was good?

“The Man Who Saw Tomorrow,” a documentary about Nostradamus narrated by Orson Welles. The predictions about the end of the world scared the hell out of me. Also: The original “V” miniseries!

Medicare Part B premiums are more than $200/mo

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: My Administration will, immediately, begin sending 'Checks' of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premium ... This money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless 'Slush Fund' that has only been used by Dumocrats ... "

Honestly a huge downgrade from Beck Bennett as Launchpad from the 2017 version of DuckTales.

A new ‘Darkwing Duck’ series has been greenlit for Disney+. Mark Hamill will voice the titular character, with Seth Rogen voicing Launchpad McQuack, Lizzy Caplan as Gosalyn Mallard, and Lilimar as Duckie.

Good, maybe now Amy Acton will stop saying she supports it!

BREAKING Reuters: A U.S. judge has blocked an Ohio law requiring residents to present documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote at the state's motor vehicles offices — the latest setback for Trump and his allies.

Much as I hate to give Kanter the time, nobody here will support him anyway. Sky players kept Tasha away from him

Loser behavior from a guy who’s clinging like a shriveled old barnacle to a sport he doesn’t actually care about in a desperate bid for relevance. Do not cede one inch to him or anyone who acts this way.

I passed a country club on my commute home last night and there had to be at least 50 people out playing while the AQI was north of 450. The visual of a packed driving range with dense, smoky haze as the backdrop felt like the poster for a Bush-era environmental documentary.

I just saw someone say that hindsight is 20/20 on Graham Platner, and let me just say that if you did not see this coming, your vision for such things needs to be checked.

"He's taken that where he didn't want to take it" followed by "I'll use anything to keep England out" are two of the all-time descriptions of a goalkeeper getting hit square in the nuts making a massive save.

A giant, and a giant loss.

Apparently, in the hours after 6:30 last night, there were more than 3,000 lightning strikes within a 20-mile radius of Akron.

Our part of Ohio is having a lightning storm right now out of the opening of Spielberg’s War of the Worlds.
