Seahawks QB Sam Darnold hasn't been political, but did... express support during BLM: “It’s different growing up Black in America and I now understand that better.” Meanwhile, Patriots QB Maye laughed as he compared his teammate's cut to "Trump's gunshot wound". TL;DR: #GoHawksshow more

I’m worried about little Billy. It’s hard to say... what’s wrong but it’s like he’s been slashed, kicked around and has a head trauma. Maybe he lost his vision as a result. He rested up today after his drip and wound cleaning and ate some chicken. Tomorrow we’ll get x rays, blood tests and everything else he needs. I just felt he needed to decompress a little today with basic care. He’s only 10kg / 22lbs. He’s tiny and very gentle. Hopefully life only gets better from here. He’s safe now at least 🥰show more

Yesterday, I gave Ryan Reynolds credit for promoting movies... as an escape and for encouraging people to watch them for whatever reason they want. Most importantly, he didn’t get political. That was great. Now, I see he went off on the ‘80s, wrongly claiming they were brutal and scary. Maybe that’s because he grew up in Canada during that time. I’m about the same age as Reynolds, but I grew up in the USA during the ‘80s. Let me be perfectly clear: the ‘80s was the best decade of my lifetime. I’ve felt that way every single day since. It’s not just a distant, foggy point of view; it’s an intense, vivid reality. The ‘80s was a time of great movies, cartoons, toys, playing outside, eating whatever you wanted, and my favorite music ever. While there has been political turmoil in every decade, not every decade offered what the ‘80s did in terms of culture and fun. Reynolds is entitled to his view, but if he wants to do himself a service, he should just stick to encouraging people to go to the movies to escape reality. He should leave the politics out of it. Now, do yourselves a favor and listen to some ‘80s music. Give “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds a listen. It came out in 1985, and if there’s one song that truly represents the ‘80s for me, that is it.show more

leeteuk gave some words about mental health, the summary..... he talked about how many times during the years, he cried, felt depressed, tired, and just felt helpless “think life is so hard that dying would be more comfortable” but things eventually will get better, it will take time and there will be lot of times where you will think it’s the end, but it’s not, you’re trying your best. endure as much as you can. If you lived your life expecting the society approval or praise you may feel disappointed. do it for yourself. there are times in your life when it feels too difficult, but when times passes you can look back and be proud of how you held well. he admitted that he was very pessimistic, frustrated and didn’t believe things would work but looking back now he thought “the only reason I came this far is because I did well” he said that everyone is going through different things, each has different experiences and issues to deal with. but he hopes that everything goes well for everyone~show more

some reflections from wonbin during recent fansigns... lately, he’s... been so vulnerable about his growth and journey since debut. it’s heart-wrenching yet so meaningful to see him open up about his worries like this. during the fansign yesterday, he asked, “what i want to say might sound boring, but since you’ve seen me for a long time, what do you think of me now? am i different? have i changed?” he was clearly looking for reassurance from a fan who has been there since day one. he brought it up again during today’s fansign. he mentioned that while there are many new briize, he was specifically curious about the thoughts of the fans who have been watching him since debut. it’s clear how much he values the perspective of those who’ve witnessed his growth. wonbin… if the path you were taking was wrong, i wouldn’t love you this much, so please don't worry! seeing him so introspective only proves how much he cares about his sincerity. he hasn’t changed, he just continues to grow into the person we were always so proud to support 🩷show more

As far as I can tell the situation is... this: Casey Putsch ran a very solid campaign for the Republican primary to be governor of Ohio, against the GOP establishment Indian Vivek Ramaswamy , who had the PUBLIC backing of Trump, and Vance, and multiple billionaires funding him. Could his campaign have been run tighter? Had more “viral” moments a lá James Fishback ? Raised more money? Better execution? Sure. But it also could have used a LOT more help. From what I can tell, Casey reached out to Alex Jones to be on the show. No response. He reached out to James Fishback for a shoutout of any kind. No response. No idea on if he reached out to Nicholas J. Fuentes (perhaps that’s the source of Nick’s initial bad blood?) but that surely would’ve helped. “I only want to support a virulent WINNER 🔥” yea I get that mentality and that posturing, Fuentes wants to save his political capital, and saw Putsch as losing no matter what. But did conserving “your power” really work? We already have Jews like Laura Loomer declaring that “the groypers are politically meaningless internet noise!” from this result. I see Red Jews saying “Nick Fuentes is a Dem plant whose influence died off the moment his SPLC funding was cut. 😌”, and that sentiment making the rounds from those angry at Fuentes’s silence, followed by “Rest in Piss! 😜” Oh but don’t worry, there’s a magical discussion that makes all of this make sense, locked behind his $100 a month groupchat paywall. As far as I can tell, Casey Putsch defended Nicholas J. Fuentes and his fans from direct media attacks and barbed questions, and only ever shared Fuentes’s posts giving up on him pre-emptively to say “What the Hell man?” The greatest “mistake” I’d cite Casey for is starting this thing 4 and a half MONTHS before the election. But hey, SOMEONE finally stood up and ran, and he did a damned good job of it with so little time and what, $128,000 raised? He took 17.5% off of an establishment GOP Chosen One with the backing of the ZioBoomer President, the Indian-Elect Vice, and multiple deep pocket billionaires. He proved that an America First Nationalist can put up numbers and he did it with ZERO help. I’m proud to have supported Casey Putsch and his campaign. I hope more America First Nationalists like him stand up (albeit earlier in their races), and I hope we as Nationalists do a better job of supporting them. I think his campaign was a good prototype that we can build from and learn from. Thank you Casey. 🫵🏼👑💪🏻show more

Just a reminder: while in office, Mendel physically confronted... and harassed journalists (video attached). She did not hold the position for long, but during that time she was involved in multiple cringe-worthy scandals and controversial statements. Some of my colleagues in D.C. have been texting me for a while asking what happened to her. The answer is simple: nothing happened to her — she was always like this. Inside Ukraine, she was never taken very seriously. Somehow, though, she managed to build credibility abroad, especially in the U.S., and gained a large following on Twitter. Zelenskyy’s team was very different when he first took office compared to what it is today. But even back then, they quickly realized hiring her was a mistake, and she was let go. The only real difference now may be that she is acting openly as a Russian asset. Or perhaps she is simply trying to use this scandal to gain legal status in the U.S. as someone claiming political persecution.show more

Christina Chang talked to Glamour about how Connor really... ate the pasta during the dinner table scene on episode 6 of Heated Rivalry. "Sitting across from him…it was outrageous. It was Connor’s idea to eat like that, and he made a great choice. And you’re right, it does showcase his comedic abilities because he’s not winking at it in any way. He’s literally shoveling food into his mouth, but he understood it’s nuanced, and that in this totally serious scene while his boyfriend’s about to break down, he’s just like, Oh God, look at the family drama; it’s amazing. He did say to Jacob, 'You never see anybody eat in a scene. I’m going to eat in the scene.' Meanwhile, I always put something in my mouth and then it’s time for me to speak. So I’m always like, Ugh. But in that scene, when the cameras were on them, we couldn’t get through several takes. You can hear everybody laughing because Connor would have noodles hanging out of his mouth. So at some point, Jacob was like, 'Okay, we need to cut. This is outrageous. We can’t even understand what you’re saying between the spaghetti and your accent. Let’s start over.'" 🔗 Read the full interview here:show more

"We lost our dog, Sam, during a camping trip... in the mountains. One moment he was with us, and the next he had taken off after a deer and disappeared. We searched everywhere. For weeks we walked the trails, calling his name. We hung posters. We even stayed at the campsite for nearly a month hoping he would come back. But he never did. Eventually we had to drive home, and that trip down the mountain was the hardest drive I’ve ever made. Still, we couldn’t let go. For an entire year, every weekend we returned to that same campsite. We left food. We placed his blanket there, hoping somehow he would find it. Yesterday—exactly 365 days later—we drove back up that mountain road again. And there, sitting beside the same mile marker where we last saw him… was a dog so thin he barely looked real. It was Sam. He was frail, covered with ticks, and terribly weak. But he was sitting in the exact spot where our car had been parked a year earlier. He hadn’t wandered into a town. He hadn’t found another family. He stayed there. Through winter. Through storms. Through hunger. He waited because he believed we would return. When I picked him up and carried him to the car, I couldn’t stop crying. Sam licked my face once, curled up on the seat, and fell asleep almost instantly. The waiting was finally over, buddy. You’re coming home. If you want to see Sam now. The way he smiles, the way his tail wags, comment “Sam.” I would love to show you his update.show more

Jay Z was lyrically ass for years at first,... and that's okay because he improved tremendously. Everyone works at their own pace; he ended up becoming a hall of fame lyricist, and that's what matters most. By the time Jay Z hit 70 years old in 95, he was above average lyrically. His improvement should be studied. The most improved award should go to him. However, during the years Jay Z was lyrically ass, 2Pac was already well above average lyrically, and that includes teenage Pac. As Jay Z improved, 2Pac was ascending to levels even higher than the levels he had reached before. 2Pac hasn't physically been on this Earth since 96, and Jay Z still hasn't surpassed him lyrically. All of this is why I said that 2Pac has always been a better lyricist than Jay Z, and I believe he always will be. I view 2Pac as the greatest lyricist of all time; that's what the stan bases of these rappers don't understand. I have made posts about multiple other rappers being inferior lyricists to Pac; Jay Z isn't the first or the last rapper that I've said Pac is a better lyricist than. The definition of lyricism fits this man's work more than anyone else's.show more

Married influencers Toby and Mikey Perryman-Payne, known together as... Toby’s Home, have shared a harrowing story that saw them drugged and sexually assaulted. The couple share home renovation and organisation ideas on social media. Their Instagram account has more than 616,000 followers. However they recently shared some different content, opening up to their followers about a horrific ordeal they’d been through during a past trip to Los Angeles. Toby said in the video: “When we were in LA in September 2024, we went for dinner in West Hollywood and then went to a bar afterwards. We ordered one drink and then completely blacked out.” He went on: “I then woke up in a completely strange place, with a person I didn’t recognise and I had been completely stripped of all my clothes.” Toby went on to explain that he soon realised he was “surrounded” by weapons, but did not elaborate on exactly what he saw.show more

Ready for #SONA2024! Although I keep myself updated with... the accomplishments and challenges of the Marcos Administration, I am still excited to hear what President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has to say. The State of the Nation Address of the President is a highly anticipated event especially for political junkies like myself. President Marcos has my support because I know that his administration made a substantial difference in all fronts even just halfway through his presidency. Achievements that not even his long standing critics can deny. I believe in diversity of opinions -you may or may not support the President and that would have been fine. But I think before we say anything, we should listen first. I was and still am opposing the Dutertes but during the time of the former President -I listened. I gave him credit for the things he did right and opposed the wrong. I am looking forward to good and meaningful discussion here in X after President Marcos’ speech tomorrow. Let’s normalize issue-based arguments!show more

When Brayden Point came into the league, drafted 79th... overall, people questioned his ability to skate. Jon Cooper said his first impression of Point was that he struggled to skate. So, what did No. 21 do? He worked tirelessly to improve, becoming one of the best skaters in the world. Yes, I know he struggled this year, posting 18 goals & 32 assists through 63 games. It’s not great. But if anyone can work his way out of a slump, it’s Brayden Point. “I learned some things in my game that I gotta get better at. Now it’s about putting in the work, and this Summer is going to be a great opportunity to work on those things I identified.” - Brayden Point (during exit interviews). (🎥) - Here’s a glimpse of the Brayden Point we needed more of this season & what we can expect in 2026-27. I’m predicting 50 goals out of Pointer next year. Am I nuts?! #GoBoltsshow more

Regarding the Eric Trump / Daniel Cormier “text scandal”,... I am open to being convinced otherwise, but I do not believe for one second that Eric Trump would text something so stupid to Daniel Cormier. It’s laughably stupid on its face to think that Eric Trump would ask a UFC commentator if any of the fights are “rigged”. That he would ask it in writing. And that he would not, for example, just pick up the phone and call Dana White or Joe Rogan himself. That said, I just want to understand what happened. Daniel Cormier said he was hacked. Is that to say he was hacked at the text level, or the X post level? Did he in fact make the post, and delete it? If he made the post, did he do it as a joke to illustrate how absurd the text hack was, but realized how the post could be misinterpreted as real? Or did someone make the post from his X account he subsequently deleted it. I know there are some who are going to say he made the post in earnest, thinking the text messages were real, intending to call out the “corruption”, and he has since been threatened, deleted the post, and claimed “hack”, etc. I can tell you exactly why I do not believe, even if he made the post, he did it believing the text message was real, intending to call out the “corruption”. If Cormier seriously thought the text messages were real, he would understand that by posting it publicly, it would literally destroy the UFC, his livelihood and his legacy - in addition to the legacy of everyone who has ever competed in the UFC. There is no realm of the universe in which even if it were in fact a real text that he actually received from Eric Trump, he would post it publicly. Because it would mean the end of the UFC. I just want to know if he actually made the post from his X account, or if the entire post was the result of a hack (hence the subsequent deleting of the post). Serious and sincere questions for clarity that would benefit everyone Eric Trumpshow more

Every time I see Abiy Ahmed, I cannot help... but think of him as someone who repeatedly betrays and double-crosses those around him. He begged and pleaded with Eritrea for support against the TPLF, even serving tea at President Isaias's residence in an effort to secure Eritrea's backing. Yet, while Eritrean forces were still on the battlefield fighting to help his leadership in Ethiopia against the TPLF, he asked Tsadkan and Getachew during the very first negotiations with the TPLF to attack Eritrea. How can anyone place their trust in him? I find it difficult to believe that even those closest to him truly do. He has no integrity and always turn against his allies whenever it serves his political survival. Look at Lemma Megersa, Degu Andargachew, Demeke Mekonen, ..... The annihilation of the Amhara people under his government has been barbaric and painful to witness. Yet now, after years of missery, he appears on television calling on the very same Amhara people to prepare for another war against Tigray. Shameless.. Abiy has neither an iota of moral nor any apparent hesitation in abandoning his allies for today's political expediency.show more

This is sad. Sen. Kennedy: “You understand there’s nothing... you can do that’s gonna make many of my Democratic colleagues happy.” RFK Jr: “I’m coming to understand that.” RFK has made clear he wants to tackle chronic disease in a bipartisan way. But most Democrats keep making health political. Even on easy wins like banning toxic food dyes, they refuse to give him credit. And they were the ones preaching about it for years. Maybe I was naive to think his nomination would make some of them happy because he shares so many of their values. But instead they’ve turned on him. I don’t know if it’s payback for switching sides or just loyalty to lobbyists. These same senators were all in on Michelle Obama’s health push. Now that Trump is in office, their only focus is opposing anything tied to him. Yes, Trump’s endorsement brought RFK Republican support. But that’s not what matters right now because the Republicans aren’t the ones politicizing health. Democrats had a chance to lead here. Instead they flipped on an issue they used to own. And I honestly believe most Democratic voters would support RFK if they weren’t bombarded with nonstop propaganda. Health shouldn’t be political. It’s genuinely sad what our politics have become.show more

I have seen some people circulating a 2017 screenshot,... claiming that I am lying and pretending when I say that Baba was my friend and that I was like his daughter. In 2017, we were on different political sides. Like in any heated political contest, many things were said in the course of political banter, something both Baba and Uhuru openly acknowledged and apologised for, including on behalf of their supporters. From November 2018, I began working closely with Baba, shortly after his appointment as AU’s High Representative for Infrastructure Development. At the time, I was with the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), and our office supported his role. I was also part of his 2022 campaign, and in 2024 he personally appointed me into his AUC campaign team. Over a period of 7 years, I had the privilege of learning directly from him. He gave me numerous opportunities, travelled with me across Africa and beyond, and allowed me to sit in high-level meetings that shaped my perspective and growth. That was Baba! A man who never judged me by my tribe or my previous political positions. He saw my potential and gave me an opportunity. He often expressed how proud he was of my work and my convictions. The last time we spoke was on 8th October 2025, while he was still in India, a week before he passed on. I even made a post about that conversation on the same day. That was Baba…my friend! So, to those trying to twist this story to fit a convenient political narrative I will ask, WHO TOLD YOU? Do you claim to know me better than Baba did? And isn’t the same Ruto you now support the one who once called Baba all manner of names? Did he ever publicly apologise the way Baba and Uhuru did? What exactly explains this selective memory, this hypocrisy and these double standards? All in all, yesterday I was in Kisumu, and was so overwhelmed by the love that was expressed. On the way to the rally, so many young people kept calling me by name and saying how much they love me for supporting Baba. Others were even calling me msichana ya Baba. This is the real ground!show more
