From Charlotte, NC. Seen it shared on a few NC based IG pages. Based on this video, federal agents using the same tactics we’ve seen the last few months in Chicago.

Do you like walk off touchdowns? How about a walk off touchdown to cap off an 80-yard 2-minute drive and win Central Washington's first Lone Star Conference title? Unreal.

Chicago may experience less tear gas use as Operation Midway Blitz winds down. Cold and wet weather reduce effectiveness, while wind adds unpredictability.

i can’t talk about sports gambling anymore without sounding like a crank but i do believe legalized sports gambling is like 15-20% responsible for our current dystopia
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

This table topped with coffee beans was in the green room at MSNBC for at least 15 years, back to when Morning Joe was sponsored by Starbucks. The beans were fuzzy in places and had lost their smell.
Today was MSNBC’s last day at 30 Rock, and I guess the beans aren’t making the move.

Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had “several males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to “speak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.
