MIAMI (AP) — FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award at the draw for the World Cup on Dec. 5 in Washington.

I feel certain this is actually from a piece by The Onion, but I can’t find it. I mean, can’t have anything to do with Infantino and Trump being pals.

Chess board, just finished. Figured maple and walnut, 2" squares, 1" thick, plus 1" base on two sides to leave clearance for picking it up more easily. Extremely durable, satin hard wax/oil finish. Will have it in the studio for December's Art Walk.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Trump wants Canada, the Panama Canal and Greenland, but Ukraine can’t have Crimea. Seems fair.

Stay tuned, Trump is about to rename them Melania, Maga and America, and the entire constellation will be called Donald’s Belt.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

“Women in STEM don’t face any sexism or harassment any more, stop making up barriers”

Blue Origin just had to take down their video of the 100th female astronaut’s reaction to space because the comments got flooded by men sexualizing her excitement and awe. We face this kind of shit all the time
