Watching an endless loop of ten second clips? Haha this younger generation. When I was your age we used to watch a variety show starring an ostrich puppet, a man with a cowboy hat and a reel to reel sound player. It was so racist Harry Connick Jr. made a formal protest. It was three hours long

One should never judge a book by its cover…but supposing there were a masterfully written biography on the distant horizon of one of our sport’s most legendary figures, which of these strikes you hardest as a potential cover image?(credit @iqwrestler.bsky.social for transcendent color work)

They just have absolutely no shame do they

Israel’s deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel called Iran’s strike on an Israeli hospital on Thursday “deliberate” and “criminal”, after the Islamic republic fired its latest salvo of missiles at the country.

“Iran just hit Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva with a ballistic missile. Not a military base. A hospital. This is the main medical center for Israel’s entire Negev region. Deliberate. Criminal. Civilian target. The world must speak out,” Sharren Haskel wrote on X.

Look, it’s tempting to take the easy money (especially since my books are such a niche) but nope, I won’t be supporting such a soulless enterprise.

My doctor insists that I'm Claustrophobic, but that's impossible – Christmas is one of my favorite holidays!

It makes me hate going to my appointments there, especially because the doctor's office is so small.
