SENATOR: I have these text messages that put you in Saskatchewan watching the Roughriders. The very city that you claim to have never been in. You are under arrest for perjury. You are dead meat. WITNESS: (ruffling papers) actually I was seeing the Ottawa Rough Riders.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

The arc of every 49ers injury: ➡️"Oh, that looks bad." ➡️Initial tests reveal it's not that bad. ➡️Further tests reveal it's far worse.

I don't think you can come down hard enough on any athletes or brands who partner with these parasitic companies. LeBron is asking his fans to engage in a product that's overwhelmingly likely to just rob them of their money. It's so gross.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Saw the news earlier today and now Cincinnati has confirmed that former Jets forward Alexander Burmistrov has signed in the ECHL for the upcoming season. Which gives me a reason to use one of the best Jets 2.0 videos of all-time. Still makes me laugh. illegalcurve.com/former-winni...

An essential part of fascism is rejecting bodily autonomy and consent, it's why they are all pedophiles and rapists and transphobes. The other side of that coin is rejecting the agency of people opposing them. They imagine there *must* be a centralized leader, an organization, a billionaire funder

Trump is going to ensure that US automakers fall fatally behind in the EV race, which will inevitably catch up to them, at which point we'll be asked to bail them out again. Nothing is more predictable.
