LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

I know things are varying degrees of mad this morning but a pit bull (?) wearing a hoodie was just walked by my window.

Feel like I’ve been hearing jokes all my life about how L.L.Bean stands for “Ladies Love Bean” or “Live Laugh Bean” or whatever, but nothing is funnier than the stone-cold fact that its founder’s name was Leon Leonwood Bean

Clayton Kershaw's outing on Wednesday was the first time in postseason history that a reliever allowed 3+ BB, 2+ HR and struck out none. 😬
