Please don’t mistake declarative statements for expertise, I’m just medically incapable of speaking without unfounded confidence.

The real reason Lydia and Kitty Bennett wanted to go to Brighton

Only in Brighton are there ‘real gemstone’ heart vending machines … #urbangeology #brighton

A photo of a cylinder-shaped vending machine on a street which sells heart-shaped polished stones made from agate, jaspers, lapis lazuli etc.

A close up of the vending machine merchandise described in the previous image. Heart shaped polished stones in shades of red, blue, green etc.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

the idea that the only way we can have a primary is to run a 77 year old career politician against a newcomer is a sign of a tragically unimaginative politics

We need retirement from being an elected official to be a thing for politicians

"And then, Big Papi, when I'm celebrating in the Yankee Stadium clubhouse, we can both say 'DAAAAAAAA JANKEES LOSE!' together, okay?"

"Take your vitamins and work hard, and maybe it'll happen, kid"

A photo from the 2010 MLB All-Star Weekend of a very young Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hanging out with Red Sox slugger David Ortiz.Lil' Vladito is pointing at something for Big Papi to look at.

A Democrat shares a video by one of America’s most notorious antisemites. He misses the very obvious antisemitic trope in the video. He then defends the share after people point this out to him.

Incredible stuff.

I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.
I am proud to be one of the handful of Democrats standing up against Big Money.

This was a documentary made by Tommy G who interviewed me. I did not speak to or meet lan Carrol. I stand by my words and should be judged by them.

I fenuinely feel terrible for the Phillies fans and players who are going to remember this throw for the rest of their lives, dodgers didn’t win, we just got lucky.

My favorite part of baseball is the part where they play and re-play the worst moment of a guy’s day with hype music while the crowd cheers

I am always rooting for Pages but I do not want this for him, he does not deserve the bottom of the 11th with bases loaded.

Kiké and I both wanted that hit but not as bad as Andy Pages should wish right now that Kiké had gotten the hit

Just to clarify, I’m pretty sure he’s talking about a staged event held at his church not a real thing
