The first senator to go on the air and call Trump a soft ass bitch gets to be the next president
Kelly's on the morning shows every week & still does this milquetoast routine even when he's in a position to be dominant. "I'm a retired U.S. Navy captain & I'm not going to let draft-dodging Donald Trump tell me what it means to defend the Constitution." be a fuckin' badass & make him look small!
Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

This man missed the entire season! I had to look up the definition of "debridement" because of him!
Grayson Rodriguez said he didn't go through a pre-trade physical assessment from the Angels. The deal happened as-is. But Rodriguez said he is ready for spring training

Reminder for autism organizations:
“Neurodiversity-affirming” must include anti-racist.
Black autistic community members report real harm in diagnostic processes, services, and peer spaces.
Your policies and culture need to reflect that reality

My 14YO son is a very good writer, not just for his age, but better than most adults. He's working on questions for an application, and he says he has to intentionally build in a few minor errors so people wouldn't think it was AI.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of IDEA—a landmark law that ensured millions of disabled students would receive quality education. Yet, that promised education is at risk today with a federal funding gap of over $38 billion.

I know there is a thing happening about a certain writer explaining her terrible life choices. I just honestly don't give a shit, and I don't understand why anyone else does either. Like, this is what we're doing today on here? C'mon.

Aside from the obviously disqualifying off-the-field behavior, it's hilarious to me that the guy directly above Omar Vizquel is Mark Belanger. Extremely unserious HOF candidate.
