Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.
From CBS News: "Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died."

I think the most incredible part of PCA's season is that through 50 games: he was hitting all of .225/.302/.357 with 5 HR.

Just woke up to find out Lindsey Graham is dead?? lol??? Most of you know him as the homophobic senator from South Carolina but to me he will always be the man who paid a twinky pre-transition college student ( ) a fat
stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie

It is a canon trans event to have far right freaks bankrolling you & then turning around and voting against you. People loooooove to judge us for it but I never see them opening their wallets!!! Shoutout to s*x workers everywhere forced to humanize their enemies just to make rent.It is an absolute mindfvck too me that one of the reasons I have any semblance of financial security (& a lack of student loans) is because of this man.

At the time I had no idea who he was, and I only figured it out because another group of twinks leaked Lady G to the media. Some queers tried to grandstand critique this, saying we shouldn't "out" people. I believe bigots with power deserve no peace or privacy, especially when they hold public office. I'm glad they did it. Icons, forever.

Anyway, if you've ever enjoyed what I do on the internet know that it is in part because of Lindsey's generous donation over a decade ago. If I've ever sent you $ for something know that was kickstarted by the now deceased sissy senator from South Carolina.Lindsey, rest in hell for what you did to our community.

I will continue to love queer and trans people harder than you ever hated us. You loved every second of our time together and now everyone knows

Dylan Cease has been one of baseball's most durable pitchers for years, and you can probably give him more than a week's rest until his next start if you want. Eury Pérez has been injured a lot and was just coming off an injury. I don't think the comparisons we'll see are quite right.

Rest in peace to Jason Collins, an unthinkably brave person and incredible leader for the LGBT community. Over a decade later and his coming out column is still an astonishing piece of writing. Wish the sport had caught up more and that he could have lived to see it.

Michigan won it all. The celebration never really came. I spent time this week w/ Dusty May to get an up-close look at the reality of what it means to win an NCAA title—and why the portal is muting what should be the peak of his career. Fascinating transparency from one of the game's top coaches.
