MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

There have been 12 players to hit 3+ HR in a Postseason game.

There have been 16 pitchers to have a Postseason game with 6+ IP, 2 hits or fewer, 10+ K, and 0 runs allowed.

Only one did both on the same night.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

BREAKING: I've just learned that there are teeny-tiny chameleons called stumped-tailed chameleons and they look like this AND I CANNOT HANDLE IT

A getty image by Mike Powles of a chameleon that is mall enough to sit on someone's thumb, its tail is curling ever so slightly

another getty image, this time by Alexis Rosenfeld, of another stump-tailed chameleon, this one small enough to sit comfortably on the tip of someone's thumb. Its mouth is slightly open, and its little toes are so small it is making me want to die a little bit.

“I don’t think you understand. This place? It belongs to me and my friends now. You can either leave through the door, or through the window. Capeesh?”

A large pig, surrounded behind in a semicircle of 5 dogs, sit on a rug in a living room, facing the camera.

This meant so much to me when he said it and means even more to me now. Always a big thank you to Jim Carrey for being the one to speak out about me at that dark time.

Something's Gotta Give hasn't had a physical media release since 2004, on DVD. I'd say we're due for a Blu-ray upgrade.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."
