What a game for @nationals Nasim Nuรฑez! And a reminder that the 39-35 Nationals were 33-38 on this date in 2019. The year they won it all.

Also,... @NickAdamsinUSA doesn't seem to understand that he's exposing the fact that he and his friends are drinking beer with each other. No girlfriends or wives. Wonder why?

This illustrates how ridiculous the @MLB @AllStarGame voting process is. No disrespect to Acuรฑa.

I work part-time at McDonaldโ€™s. ๐Ÿ” I flip patties. I take orders. I salt fries. ๐ŸŸ And despite the criticism, the jokes, and the people who look down on me, Iโ€™m not embarrassed. Iโ€™m a mom doing what I have to do to provide, survive, and keep moving forward. Every honest dollar matters. No job is beneath me when my responsibilities are depending on me. You can laugh if you want, but my bills donโ€™t care about pride. My kids donโ€™t eat opinions. So Iโ€™ll keep showing up, working hard, and doing the best I can with what I have. โค๏ธ bc I had a ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”ฅ and need this๏ฟผ ๏ฟผ

Huh. Maybe the fathers could stay home, unpaid, while the women worked and built seniority and Social Security income.
An obscure academic wrote a book in 2004 about how dual income households are a scam & the vast majority of women simply aren't economically productive enough to justify outsourcing childcare, even in dystopian government warehouses

Thanks for posting this. Whenever I see an eyeroll accompanied by an "OK boomer" and some fiction of how easy that generation had it, I remember my friends' older brothers, 18 and just out of high school, wondering if they'd be sent to fight and die in an unjust war.
Mine was 161, but I was protected by a student deferment. I gave the deferment up when I learned that I likely wouldn't be called up and I wanted to work for a while before attending university in England. IIRC I sent a telegram to Selective Service at 11:59 p.m. on my last day of potential eligibility.

I'm torn between being disappointed @Spainfoot did not win today, and really impressed with, and happy for, newbies @CapeVerdeFooty. Love @Spain, but also love an underdog.

Is this a joke? Or pathetic click-bait? Because getting your won car at age 16 - even if it's used - is pretty damn privileged.

I like @DanKolko_ and enjoy his coverage (it took me awhile to realize I would not hear See! You! Later! again, but that's out of respect for Bob). @AlexaDatt 's doing a phenomenal job, too, though.

Nats can easily fix the broadcast to be better: Dan Kolko - Pre/Postgame segments Alexa Datt - In-game broadcaster/interview players 3 person broadcast booth - PXP Paul Severino, Frandsen and Zim as color

In case anyone doesn't know... - Led Curacao to become the smallest nation to make a WC - Resigned to be in the Netherlands for his daughter, who had cancer - His daughter's health improved & his replacement resigned to let him return - Now he's the oldest WC manager ever ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน

Makis lost his licence for serious misconduct Even when he was allowed to practice as as a doctor he was a radiologist NOT a reliable source on vaccines
SHOCKING 2026 admission from Dr. William Makis: โ€œStop taking the injections. NO mRNA vaccines. NO COVID vaccines. NO flu vaccines. And childhood vaccines? You should avoid them altogether. โ€œWe need a complete reset of the entire area of vaccinesโ€ฆ Just stop all of the injections. We gotta scrap the vaccine schedule โ€” the childhood vaccine schedule โ€” start from scratch now.โ€ Why should we continue taking any vaccine before theyโ€™ve proven โ€” to the public โ€” that they are truly safe and effective with transparent, long-term data?

You did not test her. You set a trap. And then you got upset when she did not behave like a maid in a house that is not hers. You pretended to be asleep. You left your house dirty on purpose. You hid the food. And then you expected her to walk in, clean up your mess, and prove she is "wife material." That is not a test. That is manipulation. She did not fail anything. She simply refused to play your game. She came to see you. Instead, she found a dirty house and a man pretending to sleep. So she charged her phone, ordered herself some food, and left. That is not the behaviour of someone who failed. That is the behaviour of someone who recognised nonsense and chose not to engage. A real test of wife material is not how she cleans up your mess. It is how you both handle life together. It is communication. It is respect. It is partnership. Not traps.
I wanted to test if my girlfriend of two years, to see if she was a "wife material" before proposing. So I invited her to my house, but before she arrived, I intentionally left dirty plates in the sink, dirty clothes on the floor, and hid the food items. I then pretended to be asleep when she knocked. My girl walked in, saw the house looking like a refuse dump, and didn't say a word. She didn't clean anything. She just took my laptop, plugged her phone, use it to charge her phone then ordered a large pizza, ate the whole thing, left the empty box on the floor while I was "sleeping," and left! I've blocked her on all social media platforms before she reached the estate gate. She failed the test!

I wish that people who post anti-cities rants online would just own up to not liking places where everyone isn't white and Christian and straight. Yeah, criminals take advantage of celebrations. Everywhere. NYC is a vibrant, exciting city of possibilities.
So about the Knicks... It's hard not to feel happy for this team. Great group of guys, and very well-deserving. And it's hard not to feel happy for fans who've waited more than half a century for this feeling. But: What you're seeing below isn't an aberration, just a gaggle of thugs. It's very much the energy in NYC these days, a third world hellhole governed by a terrorist sympathizer grievance peddler who spent his entire career cheering on violent mobs and calling it "social justice." It's a city where it's totally normal for a Jewish woman to get violently attacked on the Subway just for being Jewish--it happened just the other week. It's a city where it's totally normal for crowds to march with the Hamas and Hezbollah flags, and where the mayor's own wife repeatedly celebrated October 7th. It's a city where every single public official running for office is running on promises to further curb the federal government's powers to arrest and deport violent illegal migrants. So when you're seeing these thugs trash a school bus, or set things on fire, or attack cops, it's not the exception. It's the rule, because these are the norms of the third world. And New York City these days is very much the third world. So I know the Knicks are everyone's teams. And if I squint my eyes just so, I can somehow ignore the fact that this victory also rewards the single worst owner in professional sports, and somehow obscures the fact that it was spectacularly poor management, plastered over with billions of dollars, that made the Knicks wither for five decades to begin with. But when I see images like this one, and think about Mamdani and Brad Lander and all the other America-hating, chaos-championing twits about to march in Thursday's parade and mark this championship as their victory, I get very depressed. So Mazal Tov to Brunson, OG and the rest of the actual champs. But so sorry, NYC: you're still a needle-infested playground where wealthy recreational Marxists encourage the poor to believe that only violence brings catharsis and justice, and then excuse the mayhem that follows by blaming it on someone else. Just like they do everywhere else in the third world.
