Sorry but this is so funny

How does one reduce one’s stress level

Juan Soto walked 127 times last season

THEY NEVER MADE AN OFFER?????? Go Orioles, see you all at Brewer’s Art after the game.

I’ve had a bad enough couple of weeks, I didn’t need this too

This is great news imo

I honestly know too much about all their lives now

It’s real! I checked!

When she told me this, I gasped

My wife is featured!

FIFA gave Trump a fake award so I am more optimistic that that’s happening

There’s like a zero percent chance the Olympics are happening here in 2028

NYT headline: Miami Elects First Democratic Mayor in Nearly 30 Years Eileen Higgins, a former Miami-Dade County commissioner, will also be the city's first female mayor and the first non-Hispanic mayor since the 1990s.

Shameless plug: I’m still a freelancer and available for work! I write a lot about mental health, the psychology of work, etc. and I am also available for freelance publishing projects (games, gifts, ghostwriting, etc.)

Tbqh I don’t want permanent daylight savings because waking up in the dark every day for months isn’t much better! Winter bad, generally

Objectively I know that it gets dark at like 3:50pm in December and yet I am shocked by it every single year.
