Transgender Chicago man hospitalized after saving baby from drowning in Lake Michigan β€œI wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Lio Cundiff said.

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water.

He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

With the consolidation of entertainment and news media, couldn't this give rise to new companies forming?

I feel like the big directors get together and start their own studio or journalists their own news agencies.

If it sounds like a stupid question, it is because I'm ignorant on this.

That pipeline from disgrace to right wing media is so real. Jonathan Majors is just the largest figure since he was with Marvel.

Daily Wire isn't paying him Marvel money though.

I love that a scene from 1986's Platoon got a graphic media tag.

Really nails home my joke about how traumatized NYC police officers are over snowballs

Right now is the time to get involved in the county/state Democratic parties.

If you're real good then try to become a delegate for the DNC. Then get on the committees like platform and rules/bylaws.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Tony Khan should have licensed music ready to play for an entire match from time to time.

Doesn't have to be entrance music either.

Get me Bon Jovi, AC/DC, even Dokken.

Do it Tony.

Do it.

It's wild that Brody King and Swerve Strickland haven't faced off against each other 1v1 since their MLW days in 2018.

Oh yeah that match is going to slap

I'm all about fuck Don Callis like the next person, but that's fucked up to lump him with ICE.

Funny, but still fucked up

Funny how JD Vance’s war on fraud immediately targets welfare programs, of which is a very small percent, not corporate fraud.
