Belfi Rivera was 14 when the Arizona Diamondbacks made a handshake deal that would pay him $1.8M after he turned 16. But $630K went to a trainer who brokered the deal, and $950K+ went to a lender whose business partner is Red Sox legend David Ortiz.

How the Dominican Baseball Factory Traps Young Players and Their Families With False Promises
Teams make handshake deals with players as young as 11 while moneylenders prey on their families. The industry is corrupt, but Major League Baseball and the players union have done little about it.

She's a leading sex symbol over at Mar-a-Lago or the Heritage Foundation. She appeals very heavily to a certain type of straight man, but he's not the average WNBA viewer. Or even NBA viewer.

Any ICE agent who pepper sprays someone who is simply videotaping them is engaging in criminal behavior. That would make anyone doing that…a CRIMINAL.

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.
We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

Basque cheesecake. It's supposed to be almost burnt like that on top. The worst thing is that it has to cool on the counter for 2 hours and then in the fridge for at least 8 hours. So tomorrow breakfast I guess 😭

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.
