This story is great but man I am laughing at how much this guy looks like Michael McDonald - did any other genes even make it in? If you told me that he’d been the result of asexual reproduction by Michael McDonald I’d believe you
A guy who looks basically 1:1 like Michael McDonald who recently found out Michael McDonald is his biological father

I want a season of GBBO that's all of the contestants who've been sent home first. Some people want an All-Star season. I want everyone who's finished last. It's less intimidating

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

That’s sad. I also nearly stopped my neighbor’s house from burning down, when I got ticked off at the arsonist. But I didn’t, instead I gave him matches and lighter fluid. But I was kinda peeve for a bit, there! This makes me look good.

Oh shit the White Sox are literally on a mission from God
Letter to Jerry Reinsdorf from the pope

I was pleased to receive the kind letter that you
sent
following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

I think some Dems might sneak by in a wave year election running these anti-trans ads that abandon an entire section of the population, but they won't be able to outrun it with Democratic voters longterm. The more time goes on, the more likely they are to know a trans person. A permanent duncecap.

This is the former culture critic in me talking, but: I think nobody should ever have to check out a thing they're not going to like -- there's all kinds of shit I'll never engage with -- but generally being proud of one's ignorance of a cultural object is just kinda shitty!

A lot of people on this app think they're too good for country music. Yes, a lot of modern pop country sucks, but that is not the totality of country! Y'all never watched Ken Burns' Country Music miniseries, and it shows (I have only caught bits and pieces myself, and I need to change that)

Lots of great quotes here but now I’m thinking why Billy S didn’t use “fuck” at all. Historians have found usage as early as the 14th century… www.medievalists.net/2023/08/earl...
medievalists.net
The earliest use of the F-word - Medievalists.net
An English historian has come across the word 'fuck' in a court case dating to the year 1310, making it the earliest known reference to the swear word.
