The Celtics’ Jordan Walsh has alopecia. He’s spoken about it. It is an autoimmune disease. Kids get it too. In 2022, Rio Allred killed herself after being bullied. She was 12.

This staff writer for Jezebel blocked me when I called her out for this. If you know her, tell her to Google Rio’s name.

What you said wasn’t ugly or cold in the least. Elections have consequences. I’m saving my sympathy only for those who didn’t help get us here but will suffer nonetheless. FAFO indeed.

Dolly is a private person. She may have asked her sister to say this.

“Experts say bears are increasingly venturing out of their traditional habitats and into urban areas in search of food because climate change is interfering with the flowering and pollination of some of the animals’ traditional sources of food.”

Thank goodness this time it wasn’t fatal. 🙏🏾

1,000+ people currently imprisoned in Louisiana were convicted by split juries — ruled unconstitutional in 2020.

Yet the state Supreme Court has declined to grant new trials, and lawmakers have repeatedly denied a reexamination of their cases.

Funnily enough, I’ve always found U.S. politics exciting, back as early as my tween years. But now it’s all just … too much. None of this is normal.

When will this aged nepo baby realize how out of touch he sounds? Every word out of his mouth lately makes him even sound worse.

God I hate this man. I wish he, his fish-stick shaped wife and his kids would all just go away and stay there.

It’s crazy how much Blue Ivy looks like her in the first pic.

I just read the part of 107 Days where Kamala Harris recounts how Rogan and his people kept screwing around with dates and the location until she couldn’t do an interview, then lied that it was HER demands. F*** Rogan, f*** his fans, and tbh f*** you too if you didn’t vote for her.

It says he took a pay cut, but it doesn’t mention Emily Blunt…? Besides, his “discounted” rate is probably still a solid chunk of that $50M. You think? (I have no clue what anybody makes in Hollywood anymore. 🤷🏽‍♀️)

The rise of people like Bari Weiss is WHY journalism is failing. What’s wrong with you?

Wtf is she being called “liberal”? Just because she’s ruled against this current administration? That doesn’t make her liberal, it makes her a good judge.
