The most recent episode of Heated Rivalry is currently the 14th best-rated episode of all time on IMDB with a 9.9/10 so yeah, it’s not just “hockey smut,” like some journalists would lead you to believe.

In a speech before the United Nations General Assembly today, President Trump said climate change is a “con job” and climate scientists are “stupid people” — and he called green energy and immigration a “double-tailed monster” that is destroying Europe. 🧵 1/5

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying." It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

Why does this soap label look like it should be the first book in a trilogy called “The Ryver of Shaedows”
A bottle of Softsoap hand soap. The label features sliced limes and flowers. Inconsistently bolded text intertwined with the graphics reads “WILD BASIL & LIME”

Man, the big huge protests in places like Boston, DC, NY, Chicago, and Minneapolis are awe-inspiring. But my heart is gonna explode looking at these crowds of people out in tiny Maine towns and super red Alabama towns. Places where 15% of the population is on the street corner with more coming!
