I'm so proud to be a fan of Hangman Adam Page, and grateful to AEW for giving him an opportunity to be the change he wants to see in the world
AEW Men's World Champion, Hangman Adam Page, explains why he specifically identifies as the Men's World Champion.
He is a fantastic ambassador for women's wrestling, AEW, and what it stands for.

Hey @economist.com, this is absurd and beneath you. Stop treating this man’s endless whining and bleating as something your readers should engage with seriously.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week
Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

my genealogy friends here feel seen
I don’t really worry about how other people curate their own social media. I have friends who exclusively use it to talk about video games, others who haunt the r/conservative subreddit for different perspectives. If someone wants to be here to look at bird pics & blocks certain politics, so what?

The best advice I can give to AEW fans is to just laugh when you see bad faith criticism, there's no need to get angry about it. Who cares?

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this.
I don’t view it as a Me problem.

What's effectively happening here (in the British media at large, too) is the construction of "anti-racism" as somehow a "political alternative" to racism, rather than as a minimal civilisational standard, which in turn (further) vindicates racism as *also* an acceptable political position.
I'm a bit concerned about the use of the word "clash" here, @theguardian.com. Not only does this imply 'two-sideism' (my favourite bit is designation of anti-racist protesters as "hardcore" - turns out the only thing they were 'hardcore' about is techno) but also a physical conflict. Was there one?

Twins shut out the Yankees for the first time since Aug. 11, 2008.
That night: Glen Perkins for eight and Joe Nathan for one in a 4-0 win at the Metrodome.
Tonight: Simeon Woods Richardson for six and Kody Funderburk, Travis Adams, and Pierson Ohl for one each in a 7-0 win.

Isn't the simplest explanation for why autism diagnoses have gone up, in recent decades, is that our awareness and understanding of it has vastly improved, and more kids who have it are being diagnosed?

I'm seeing a lot of people shit on Mississippi right now, and I'm not okay with that. I lived in MS for nearly a decade. Most people who live there aren't asking for what's getting imposed on them. Please don't label people by preconceived notions about where they live.

This is the truest thing I’ve seen written about DC.
the biggest criminal element in dc is the tourists who come in the summer and dont understand you cant just stand still on the left side of the escalator like a psychopath.
STAND RIGHT, WALK LEFT, WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A SOCIETY

DC is so wholesome and tame that I wish there was more crime sometimes when I visit. I find myself wanting to pickpocket tourists just to feel something
