I realize it often feels like nothing matters anymore, but a comedian going on SNL and calling women whores— calling the ordinary women he sees at the gym *whores* — because of their clothes matters to me. It’s really gross, and I’m glad Levy said something.

I saw that this was coming from a headline. What horrid behavior by our government. This is abhorrent disgusting behavior and there is no excuse for it. And I am certain it does not reflect the majority in our country.

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

I’M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Currently, Gonzo is holding steady at 97.11% (if you include the outlier, 100.36%) YTD. Out of 278 total days, he’s committed crimbs on 116 of them (41.7%).

in his old age, Sandal has become a terror at night. he wakes us up by meowing until we bring him food. he insists we put the bowl on the bed. i find this frustrating, but that's not really fair. if i could have someone deliver me food in bed whenever i wanted, i'd basically never do anything else.
Sandal, a large orange-and-white cat, sits on a rug staring intently at the camera. Behind him, Freya, a fluffy gray cat, lurks partially hidden in a basket by the window.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

This is a chance Texans may not see again for a long time. Talarico will serve the state. He will honor the office and his oath. Service means something to him. He is a leader in ushering in new and better candidates. Texas, come on, vote this man into office.

Love a direct, to the point queen. Say it plainly and leave no space for bad-faith bullshit.
Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

Wanna know something I think would be crazy? It would be crazy if XX-XY Athletics, the apparel firm stoking outrage against the WNBA, had a secret, Koch brothers-aligned, oil rich family fortune behind it. But that would be crazy, right??? www.foiaball.com/p/xx-xy-athl...

The oil money lurking behind the WNBA outrage
