Tip from my partner who is executive director of one of the biggest food pantries in our state:
Donating food is great, especially if you have extra or clean out your kitchen. But money goes further. They can buy food cheaper than you can so they can stretch your money to feed more people.

Oh, so when Zohran Mamdani calls his father's cousin his "aunt," it's fine with you people, but when *I* call Knuckles the Echidna my "biological son" and post Sora-generated videos of me giving birth to him, it's somehow "disgusting"

every time these folks show up at the white house I get messages from my non-wrestling friends like “did you see this!?!?” and I’m like “no but did you hear Yoshihiko is injured?”
For your viewing pleasure here is Triple H, Linda, and Stephanie all at the White House with Trump today.

He was a university professor that when asked about his research always had a catchy title for his new book project. Every few semesters the title would change based on his latest creative insight. Yet, if pressed, it became clear he had yet to write a single word of it.

The fan on whom the decades of WWE propaganda worked as designed is easy to spot by lack of curiosity and immediate anger. Someone saying, "Mistico is wrestler of the year" does not spur them to think, "really? what should I see?" or anything of the sort. just immediate tantrum to defend Cody Rhodes

I’ve never understood why men in higher ed upper administration wear terrible suits instead of dressing like this. Like if I was an associate dean I’d be walking into the office like it was my draft day every day.
