1) Yes it did, see last Tuesday
2) Then retire and get out of the way if you don’t want to fight for shit! I realize that King is his weird own Independent thing, but man why are you even dealing with the hassle of being in Congress if you’re this defeatist about everything?

evidently lots to unpack on Delilah, even in the year 2025
an 18-year-old called into delilah’s show to discuss her complicated family situation, including that she is married and her mom is racist against her husband
delilah asked what song she wanted to hear and she said anything
the song chosen was frosty the snowman

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

once again, very freeing to have essentially cut my losses with the Giants shortly after they went into the tank and started making horrific franchise decisions following the 2012 Super Bowl, there was almost literally no way fandom was going to get better than upsetting Brady twice in 4 years
The Giants kicked a field goal from the 1-yard line and declined a penalty that would have allowed them to move the ball to the half-yard line
And they’re gonna lose by 4

imagine getting this worked up about someone disrespecting Rob Manfred. the guy is a law degree with a bad haircut, who gives a shit
These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.
MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.

Well, they can’t stock their shelves and they’ve capitulated to a bunch of bad faith conservative critics and abandoned their core customers and their values, but at least the employees will smile if you manage to approach them like the blue ghosts in Pac-Man.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
