Shohei is so ridiculous they had to reprogram baseball video games to be able do what he does in real life. It wasn't *possible* to create a character like this before he existed. 10 strikeouts on the mound & 3 HRs in a LCS clinching game? Absurd.

Why are comedians doing a better job of cutting through the bullshit of politicians in their desperate attempt to justify a genocide than any journalists?

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

DHS has arrested two medical personnel at a surgical center in California for demanding that the officers trespassing in their building identify themselves & provide a warrant, accusing them of another.... wait for it... ASSAULT. The case shows how DHS lies relentlessly to violate the Constitution
