I regret to inform you that Halloween candy just doesn't hit the same these days. A formula has been changed somewhere

So does this guy just like punk music because of the vibes

Stereogum @stereogum.com · Jul 23

The guy behind Punk In The Park shared a statement after bands like Dropkick Murphys said they’ll never play it again due to his support of Donald Trump.

“We don’t have to see eye to eye on everything to come together and enjoy what unites us, great music, good times, and mutual respect,” he says.

Out of nowhere, people on my Facebook are sharing AI generated pics of Peyton Manning with motivational stories attached. In one, an elderly man on hospice has a last request of "one more snap". A call is quietly made. The next day Peyton Manning shows up to grants the dying man his wish

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say.

From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

Migrant deported to El Salvador after DPS labeled him a member of Tren de Aragua without evidence, lawyer says

Lawyers for Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo deny he is a gang member and say the DPS accusation hinges on a photo they found of him standing next to a man with tattoos.

Joe came in and hit 2 big 3s back to back, but kept letting TJ McConnel cook him. He's been terrible from 3 most of the playoffs. The coach gives him a short leash, but also the coach seems to be overthinking too much in this series
