"Is this dumb alt med thing why Phelps is crushing it at Olympic swimming?!"
"I'm pretty sure it's the lifelong practice and being a genetic anomaly."
"No, it must be this obscure other factor."

OMG is that Isi kissing the lead singer from Velvet Crowbar?! Mind *blown*

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Cosplay working class tooling around in a 70k F150s. Middle-managers trying to come off as salt of the earth. Media mistakes superficial presentations, that are "rural coded", for working class.
Walk through any residential city neighborhood in the morning & you'll see most everyone headed to work.

Good Lord, I struggle to think of a more nightmarish blunt rotation. Two most popular directors who fetishize Black people and are unhinged losers on a personal level
The misogynoir is a major issue

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
