I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

It’s the last dance as we’ve known it for the Chiefs. But history, their own and what they’ve been chasing, holds lessons about the crossroads they face.
How Chiefs react will determine if this is end of an era or just KC, interrupted

Interesting similarities between Mahomes and Brady now include ACL injury in the 9th season.
An ACL injury is the latest example of eerie Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady career similarities

The world lost Rob Reiner on Sunday, along with his wife, Michele. An actor, writer, producer and director, Reiner leaves behind an incredible body of work.

He looks good (and no orange make-up!).
President Biden attended the Philadelphia Eagles game on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field, where the Eagles beat the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0; he was seen with celebrities like Bradley Cooper and Mike Trout and was rooting for the Birds, telling reporters "Go Birds, man, all the way.”

The Trump administration has scrapped a plan to mint quarters to honor the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and the Civil Rights Movement.
Instead, the Trump administration plans to issue a $1 coin with Donald Trump’s face on it.

Host: 25 years ago, measles were declared eliminated in the US. But of course, that was before vaccine denier RFK Jr. became the Health Secretary. Now, measles cases are surging for the second time this year. 84 new measles cases were reported nationwide in just the past week alone.

MSM double standards, folks.
AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

President or Dictator? A thread...
I used to call Trump a “would-be dictator.” I now call him a dictator.
His masked thugs are terrorizing cities.
He‘s trying to jail his enemies.
He’s starting a war on a whim.
He’s taking control of news media.
The Institute of Peace is now “the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.”
