I have kids and pets. I 💙 baseball. In a toxic relationship with the Kansas City Royals since 1985. Wasting potential, dashing hopes, and a general disappointment since 1979. Always Antifascist. Punch Nazis.

Good one, the Pope.

Even the grandeur of the papacy apparently hasn’t been enough to prevent Pope Leo XIV from keeping up on baseball’s postseason.

The American-born pope, whose Chicago roots made him a lifelong fan of his hometown White Sox, didn’t hesitate to go up and in when a parade attendee in Vatican City chided the passing pontiff by yelling “Go Cubs!”

From atop the Popemobile, the pope didn’t miss a beat in his retort, with the same message delivered in Spanish and English: “Han perdido! They lost!”

Bart wearing a Cubs cap annoyed that the Pope (Martin) is scoring off him.

I also need the capitol police to come investigate these items found in my office.

When I didn't work in my house, this was my preferred way to lunch. I'd take my lunch at 11 to go ahead of the rush, hide in the back booth of the Mexican place by my office, and inhale a book and some enchiladas for an hour.

Outstanding in their field. 🤩

Good luck! I was utterly useless for a full day after mine this year. I hope yours is nicer to you.

People in the 90s were so horny for D'Angelo that he basically stopped making music for a while because he was afraid people were only horny for him and not all his super horny songs

We love a relatable king

Very sad news…

The incredible D’Angelo has died.

A pioneer of the neo-soul movement, he was 51.

His musical legacy continues to have a massive impact today.

This means that his son, Michael, has lost both his mother, Angie Stone, and his father within just a matter of months.

This should be unnecessary, but don't comment on the shape, size, or composition of another person's body unless you know your comments will be welcome, even if you think you're being kind.
