You can pretend all you want, talk down all you want, make videos trying to undermine her success and talent, but at the end of the day, at the end of our lifetimes and many lifetimes after, Taylor Swift will be remembered as an absolute unstoppable legend.

PERIOD!!!!!!

Being an adult means sleeping in is sleeping until 7:00 a.m.

Penn State HC James Franklin confirmed that QB Drew Allar, a projected day-one pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, will miss the remainder of the season.

Trouble is it's going to cost them $56 million. In this at a time that they're closing campuses and laying people off. And this is why I'm glad my kids not going to Penn State

First good night sleep I've had in weeks. Seriously first time in weeks that I've woken up rested and refreshed.

The Norwegian Nobel committee members will announce on Friday who they will honor with the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump thinks he deserves it. He's brought nothing but hate and divisiveness. He undermines democratic institutions. How does he qualify to win the prize?

I'm called the jury duty on November 6th. I will explicitly say that I will not vote convict any single person brought up on charges by a republican district attorney

Apparently Halligan got the grand jury to indict Letitia James. I hope she demolishes them at trial.

Will Trump demand a very public perp walk?

Good morning, Pam Bondi ☕️💅🏽

I love cook8ng on stainless steel. And the best part about stainless steel is a lot of people don't like it which means you can find really good stainless steel at thrift stores cheap. I got a $150 all clad stainless steel skillet for five bucks.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Oh I don't. I used to work at Penn State Harrisburg and they had a pool that I used to swim in every day the community used it for lifeguard training and CPR training and teaching swimming. A million dollars to repair it they don't have but they have 130 million dollars to upgrade a stadium.

Tom @belikegumby.bsky.social · 8d

There's a Penn State grad and educator I'm laughing when Penn State loses. They raised over 100 million dollars to renovate a stadium while they're closing campuses and laying off people. Drew Allar is worth 3 million dollars through his NIL. Good.

Tom @belikegumby.bsky.social · 8d

I am actually laughing. I have two degrees from Penn State and have a complex relationship with their football team

After 3 months of being unemployed I got the job! I start Monday. I'm sure you could imagine how much relief it is to be off unemployment and back working

What a fantastic video. Illuminating from start to finish.
