If you drive around with your fucking high beams on and do not turn them off when a car is coming in the opposite direction, whether it's in a parking lot that has street lights everywhere or a dark fucking street, YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR FUCKING LICENSE REVOKED.

Many people think of Nazi concentration camps as purpose-built institutions. But many of the concentration and internment camps in Germany and occupied countries were repurposed buildings: asylums, barracks, farm complexes, even hotels.

[Ilya Rozanov voice] SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKING VOLF
There’s a wolf in LA for the first time in 100 years. A collared gray wolf entered the mountains of north Los Angeles County yesterday. Known as β€œBEY03F” she traveled hundreds of miles from her pack in Plumas County crossing highways, mountains, creeks and valleys.

A wolf has come to Los Angeles County for the first time in more than a century
Around 6 a.m. Saturday, the 3-year-old female arrived in the mountains north of Santa Clarita, as tracked by a GPS collar.

Quoting myself bc I posted this at like 3 AM due to being awake with hell-cramps. LOVING this series.
This woman is doing a really cool series this month on lost Black American recipes for Black History Month. I watched one earlier and immediately subscribed. Very cool stuff, very well presented with historical context.

yeah, idk. without the "also alysa has said he's homophobic" meaning it was a pattern i might look at it differently.
February 9, 2026 at 2:54 PM
and yes, this was a few years back, but...idk. kinda stuck with me esp. because we know Johnny Weir was dinged points *for* being gay.

Ahh jeeeez 😬 www.reddit.com/r/FigureSkat...

he "joked" that he couldn't be straight bc gay men get better components scores, then "apologized" saying it was a joke, then did the "i have a gay friend" thing right after the "apology"

Alysa (Liu presumably) had said he was homophobic prior to that...
