Nick Cannon reveals he has a $10,000,000 insurance policy on his testicles Pivot: “Did you really go and get your nuts insured?” Nick: “Yes. It sounds like it's a joke, but it’s a real insurance policy on my family jewels. $10 million. It should have been $12 million, $1 million for each kid” Pivot: “Your balls are worth $5 million apiece? What do they do though? Do you have to go and donate sperm and they hold it? How did you even figure that out?” Nick: “Part of it is like when other entertainers get their legs insured. It’s really that idea of, ‘Alright, we’re going to make a statement,’ and it’s really embracing all that I am. Alright man, you’re out here having all of these kids. If anything happens, we know there’s policies in place” Pivot: “With life insurance, we know what forces the policy forward” Nick: “If my balls stop working, the kids are going to be alright. It’s like the opposite of a vasectomy. I got to keep them working”

Back in September, I tweeted out asking if Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson was the most slept on QB in this draft class and with a thinned out crop, he's probably going to be a Top 5 QB in this draft class for me when my big board drops. 6’4, 225 lbs., an arm that oozes talent displaying good touch on deep balls and with the ability to layer the ball over second level defenders. He can drive the ball real well with great velocity, make throws off platform and really, can threaten all three levels. I think he doesn’t get enough credit for his pocket presence and overall feel for it plus he’s mobile enough to create out of structure. Robertson does need to be more consistent with his accuracy and I think that starts with him needing to be coached up mechanically because you see the baseball background impact his lower and upper body mechanics at times on tape. But if you’re talking about taking a Day 3 flier on a QB who you can develop and isn’t expected to start immediately, Robertson fits the bill as one of a few intriguing options in this draft. #PhinsUp

My experience as a Defenders fan going to STL America's Center & The Dome for an away game. This was a solo trip, did not bring my family on this one. The St. Louis Battlehawks home games truly are one of the special environments for United Football League. I’ve been to 4 AWAY games for DC Defenders over the last 12 months and the environment for this one was fired up! They definitely should NOT move STL to a soccer stadium if they keep showing out like they did yesterday. I got to my hotel at 1AM on game day after a late flight from the west coast. I woke up 6 hours later, walked towards the stadium and randomly caught the STL player walk-ins. Then, I walked over to the tailgate and met up with The Bottom Line and enjoyed some mimosas and breakfast burritos with Ed Ploeger and his gang. Thanks for the hospitality! I was able to get him a signed Sam Kidd jersey as a thanks for all he does for the UFL community! After the tailgate, got in for gate drop at 0930, and went straight down to the field. I was able to say hi to a few players and talk with Steven McCrane as his son was nailing 50+ yard field goals with ease. Chatted up and made peace with a few STL fans around me. Once the game started, they had the place LOUD, and my watch kept alerting me that my hearing was getting damaged 🤣 . Being there for the first ever 4 point field goal by Matt McCrane made the travel worth it. After the home fans had a few rounds of beers, the heckling began (which was expected), but I had to pop about 6 beach balls/🎈 as I became the 🎯 for drunk fans as the only DC fan in the section. I tossed the balls back a few times until I immediately got hit with about 3 balls in a row. So that part was a bit of a let down, as I was just trying to enjoy a game. The halftime show was great. Overall, the game experience itself left something to be desired with the penalties and getting harassed by fans who were clearly recording trying to get rage bait engagement on 🎥. Probably won’t be going back to a STL game again, but I’m glad got to check it out! Pregame/Tailgate: 5/5 Halftime: 5/5 Game experience: 3/5 Getting to/from stadium: 5/5

Stephen A. Smith unleashes a raw, emotional rant on cancer research and the medical industry: "Too much money, too much time, too much research... and still no cure. My mother's gone. My father's gone. My uncle's gone. A couple of my aunts are gone." He channels Chris Rock's old line: "Money's in the medicine." With billions poured into pharma, hospitals, chemo, radiation—yet families face exorbitant bills and devastating losses—skepticism grows. Stephen A. doesn't accuse conspiracy; he voices human doubt: When you pay for a trainer or nutritionist, you expect results (muscle gain, better bloodwork). With cancer, we keep hearing "fight," "treatment," but "millions upon millions of lives lost" with no definitive resolution. His personal pain: Every cancer diagnosis triggers prayers and encouragement, but deep down, fear they'll lose—because too often, they do. He's "sick and tired" of it. After decades of contributions (Jimmy V Foundation, Disney/ESPN support, tributes to Stuart Scott, John Saunders, Dick Vitale), he demands: "What are y'all going to do about this?" Powerful, heartfelt call-out from someone who's lost too many. Does the medical industry owe us faster breakthroughs, or is cancer just that complex? What's your experience with cancer—hope in progress, or frustration like Stephen A.'s?

ＢＬＡＺＥＯＦＦＵＲＹ I slam down on the little shrimp with the full, earth-shaking tonnage of my colossal bulk. His puny frame flattens like a stomped roach beneath me, and a vicious snap cuts the air as his lungs cough up a sad, broken yelp. It’s fuckin’ wild how his skinny, fragile build sets my blood ablaze—like a brittle twig trembling beneath my hulking, boulder-like chest, begging to be crushed. My pecs squash him flat, mashing his mug into the mat with skull-shattering might. I smack my cock against the twin curves of his ass and grind it awake along their sculpted swell. My hips pound his dainty backside, even as he squirms, tensing and trying to buck me off. His pathetic fuckin’ resistance melts like butter under my sheer dominance—nothing but a sorry little twitch-fest. My junk roars to life faster than a souped-up dragster. I’m a goddamn bulldozer rolling over this fuckin’ worthless speck. I jerk up a couple inches and smash back down hard. A nasty crack rips from his guts under my brutal hammering, but all he’s got left is a faint gasp as the air ditches him. I drag myself slow, pulverizing him into the mat with every fiber of my strength, and growl in his ear: “Wrestle, runt!” I hoist my bulk up a hair, and the wimp starts thrashing under me. He knows I get off on his flailing fight—I crave those desperate, doomed swings. His mousy muscles got no shot at budging me, but even half-dead, he’s hell-bent on lighting my fuse. His tiny bum rubs my dick like mad, sparking like a match on rough timber. My member’s pulsing, primed to pay him back. Wielding my titanic bulk like a sledgehammer, I unleash a savage pounding on him. My gut slams him down with crushing weight. Every hit’s meaner than the last, sinking him deeper into the mat. His wriggling quits cold, his body caving to my relentless beatdown. The hardest blows grind his bones to dust, but he’s silent now—just ragged breaths forced out by my strikes. Conscious? Who gives a shit. After a dozen ruthless smacks, I flop onto him. His frail frame is scorching from the thrashing I dished out. My gargantuan mass locks him in place—no squirming, no breathing, nada. He’s mine to break, and my sheer heft could snuff him out for good. But I ain’t done—my cock’s howling for more. I peel off him. The shrimp wheezes, clawing for air, fumbling his wrecked shell. I give him a sec to pull it together—the grand finale’s coming. He knows a stiff corpse won’t rev my engine. I hiss in his ear: “Flip over!” Battered to hell, he still spins onto his back like a whipped little shit. He wouldn’t dream of crossing me—fear and heat tangle in his eyes as my monstrous shadow looms. I reward his obedience by slamming down full-force. His chest plate cracks, ribs splinter. My meat smacks his steel-hard cock with a loud thwack. The twisted little freak loves it. I’ve flattened him helpless again, and my shaft drinks in his agony. I grind it against his dick, mashing his lean torso with my thick, beefy bulk. His ribcage buckles as I lean in hard. His feebleness and frailty stoke my sadistic blaze. “Wrestle!” I snarl, easing up an inch to let him fan my flames. He tries to fight back—he knows every twitch stokes my fire. He’s desperate to keep me happy; he’s seen what happens to uppity punks who don’t. He don’t want that smoke. His beat-up, aching husk battles to please me. He’s so goddamn insignificant—my junk’s a live grenade. The big finish is close. I start ramming him for real with my cock, fuckin’ banging him into oblivion. My loins grind into his core with full throttle. Our tools collide, sizzling like live wires. My titan’s bulk pounds and smashes the runt under my brutal girth, raging harder each blow. His flopping fades fast, my crushing hits paralyzing him. He’s got no choice but to bow to my beastly fury. His shell cracks under my onslaught—too flimsy to take it. Bones groan and give, sinking with my blows. He’s gotta be out cold, but his stiffy’s trembling, ready to blow. I dive at him with unhinged rage, ready to tear him apart. His delicate rig shatters for good, bones snapping like brittle straw. My cock erupts like a damn volcano, and his tags along. Our gear’s drenched, dripping with heat. I unload again with feral power, roaring deep from my gut, and collapse, winded, on his smashed-up wreck. Our juices meld through the fabric like molten lava rivers. I sprawl over him, catching my breath. He’s pitifully small and breakable, the little shit. The shrimp’s out, his pretty face calm—miles from the fuckin’ hell he just ate. He nailed his role and served me right. I growl low, a sated beast’s rumble: “Good boy, you little fuck.”

Ana Kasparian unveils that she did not vote for Kamala Harris: Brandi Kruse: "You mentioned on election night, you know, people were saying you almost looked happy. You did not vote for Kamala Harris. Correct?" Ana Kasparian: "Correct." Brandi Kruse: "So why didn't you vote for Harris?" Ana Kasparian "My main issue was that she really failed to be authentic and share a vision for the future of this country. She, to me, appeared to be an empty vessel. She didn't stand for anything. I despise neo conservatives, neoconservatism. And so the fact that she was like parading around town with like Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney and talking about how honored she was to be endorsed by Dick Cheney, I was like, this is not someone who shares my values, so why would I vote for her? I'm not supposed to vote for the Democrat. I'm not going to cast my ballot for someone who has failed to make a case for herself. It really bothered me that she was anointed, that she was running a campaign, especially in the second half of her campaign, focusing on Donald Trump's alleged fascism and how he doesn't value democracy. And it's like, do you think Democrats value democracy? Because in 2016, during the primaries, we all saw what the DNC did to Bernie Sanders, preventing him from even having a shot, a real chance at beating Hillary, That's not very Democratic, if you ask me. And anointing the Democratic nominee after Biden dropped out, also not very Democratic." No intelligent woman was okay with the prospect of inept, mediocre, weak Kamala Harris becoming the first woman president.

BEWARE OF @_Gracious11 !!! The handle @_Gracious11 is behind the account Silent Observer Gracious reached out to me on Instagram because she never had access to my DMs on X. My DMs are locked, and I only chat with a few people. You can read more in the tweet I quoted. I don't post DM, and I have never done so; however, this will be the first time I will do so to clear myself. The handle Silent Observer has sent messages to people I know on this app, while spreading misinformation. The same handle apologised, and @_Gracious11 also apologised in the DM. Gracious stated that the handle Silent Observer will delete all the misinformation. Immediately, she asked me to send her money to buy medicine. When I didn't send the money, Silent Observer deleted the apology and started making empty threats that he would expose me. For this reason, I'm going to expose myself by posting everything from the beginning to the end between me and @_Gracious11 Shishi, una nor go see. I'm not going to send you 1 Naira. This post aims to create awareness for those who will encounter @_Gracious11 and Silent Observer You'd better run before they frame you up with their nonsense. They both operate from the same room, and I believe one person is running the account. @_Gracious11 once called out Alabi and many others, including myself, for ignoring her DM when she needed help. Na God save them say dem ignore her. However, she forgot all the times I granted her requests and assisted her. Top-left: Complete Instagram chat I had with Gracious when she reached out. Her story sounded like a scam, so I sent her a little money. She deactivated instead of answering the questions I asked her on Instagram. Top-right: Complete chat since I met Gracious on X. Nothing deleted. Bottom-left: Image posted by Silent Observer through @_Gracious11 Bottom-right: The real image. Apparently, they edited it to suit their narrative. The full conversation is in the video screen recording.

I spent the last week in Benin Republic practicing my Duolingo French and only just made it out before the borders were closed. In all my travels across the continent, I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a people this openly positive about their government and the reforms underway. What really struck me was how consistent the message was. I spent time in diplomatic circles and on the streets. With tech ecosystem leaders and with public-sector folks. Interestingly, many of the public-sector leaders I met were young — people in their 30s and 40s — but they worked with very clear private-sector speed and urgency. From policymakers to founders to everyday people, everyone seemed to be saying the same thing: deep gratitude for the reforms of the last decade and real optimism about what the next 14 years could mean, especially with the private sector playing a stronger role. On a personal level, this trip also changed some long-held perceptions for me. Growing up just across the Sèmè border from Cotonou, Benin always felt like a quiet village next door. That picture stayed with me for years. This time, it was unrecognizable. I travelled well beyond Cotonou into other towns and rural parts of the country, and it was clear that something deeper is going on. There was a sense of coherence — policies actually translating into infrastructure and execution. One moment that really stayed with me was visiting the GDIZ (Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone). For the first time in my life, I saw an end-to-end cotton-to-textile factory on African soil — from raw cotton all the way to finished textile, in one integrated chain. For a continent that has spent decades stuck at the bottom of global value chains, that experience hit differently. No country is perfect — Benin included — but I left feeling genuinely hopeful. My simple prayer is that NOTHING disrupts this momentum, because what’s being built here matters deeply for the future of the people of Benin.

In May 2013, a Cleveland neighbor named Charles Ramsey became an overnight sensation after helping rescue Amanda Berry, a young woman who had been missing for nearly a decade. His live interview right after the rescue became one of the most unforgettable moments in television history. Charles starts by setting the scene in the most Charles Ramsey way possible: "Heard screaming. I was eating my McDonald's, I come outside, I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house." He thought it was a regular domestic dispute. So he walked up to help. "I open the door and we can't get in that way because of how the door is, it's so much that a body can't fit through, only your hand. So we kick the bottom and she comes out with a little girl and she says, 'Call 911, my name is Amanda Berry'." That name didn't hit him right away. "When she told me, it didn't register until I got to call the 911 and I'm like, 'I'm calling the 911 for Amanda Berry?' I thought this girl was dead, you know what I mean?" Then the detective on the scene asked him a question that made the whole thing sink in: "Charles, do you know who you rescued?" What makes the interview unforgettable is that Charles had been living next door to the kidnapper the entire time. He had no idea. "I've been here a year. I barbecue with this dude, we eat ribs and whatnot and listen to salsa music." He describes the neighbor as someone completely unremarkable: "He just comes out to his backyard, plays with the dogs, tinkers with his cars and motorcycles, and goes back in the house. So he's somebody that you look and you look away because he's not doing nothing but the average stuff. Nothing exciting about him... well, until today." When more officers went into the house and rescued two other women, Charles couldn't believe what he was seeing: "They went up there, you know, 30 or 40 deep, and when they came out it was just astonishing because I thought they were going to come up with nothing." And then he delivered the line that the entire internet would quote for years: "I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wrong here, dead giveaway. Either she's homeless or she's got problems, that's the only reason why she runs to a black man."

found this funny story in 2023🤣🤣 he's so cute and is a very collage final student like us🥹 "there’s this other story. that day, I went to get a haircut just like usual. while I was getting my hair cut, the barber start a conversation and said, 👤: have you been really busy lately, kiddo? it seems like you've been styling your hair a lot 🐰: ohh, yes, I have (been busy) then he told me that my scalp is really starting to need some serious care. so, I thought to myself, "wow, does my scalp really need urgent care like that?" a moment later, he said again, 👤: Namping, you should do a scalp detox with me right now so I agreed and went to get the detox. the detox he meant was washing my hair with a detoxifying shampoo, so I was like "okay, okay, let's do it!" while he was washing my hair, he asked what kind of shampoo do I normally use at home and I told him, "I use Argan oil shampoo", while my hair was being washed, I asked him, 🐰: sir, what kind of shampoo should I actually be using? 👤: this exact one I'm using on you right now as he washed it, it felt really cool and refreshing on my scalp. it felt so good. at that moment, I thought maybe I should start using this one at home. so I said "could you show it to me later? which one is it?" then, when it came time to blow-dry my hair after the haircut was finished, he brought over the shampoo and said, 👤: Namping, it's this one suddenly another stylist shouted from another haircutting station, 👤👤: hey, another artist from your agency (DMD) uses this same shampoo too. they buy it two bottles at a time hearing that, I thought, "if another artist from my company is using it, their hair must look amazing. I definitely have to buy it too" at that moment, I felt like I just had to get it. I didn’t even ask for the price because I figured.....it’s just shampoo, right? it couldn't possibly be more than 700 baht, right? it's just shampoo, how expensive could it be? everyone must be understand, right? so I said "sir, I'll take one bottle" I didn't ask the price because I was sure it wouldn't be that expensive. the moment when I come to pay, it popped into my head that maybe I should ask the price just to be polite. so I asked, 🐰: sir, how much is the shampoo? 👤: 1,200 (baht) at that moment, I just took a deep breath and went, "ooh....okay". the thing is, in my entire life, the most expensive shampoo I've ever used was no more than 200 baht. you know what I mean? so when I heard 1,200 in my head I was like, "so what now? am I going to have to go home and eat rice with salt for the rest of the month?" and that 1,200 baht didn't even include the price of the haircut yet! I wanted to scream out loud! *screaming* but in my heart, I told myself, "it's fine. think of it as an investment, Namping. it's an investment. we are investing in our hair. it's the most worthwhile investment" the end." HE'S SO CUTE HEELPPP😭😭 and in the end, I love how positive he is #nampingster

LEARN SPANISH QUICK huevones I think I have some credibility here, here’s some vids from my IG narrating at one of my jobsites; I run my company comms entirely in Spanish and probably speak an equal amount of English/Spanish in my day to day. I’m terrible compared to a native speaker but better than most gringos Here are some things that helped/help me, YMMV 1. Get your head right: -you have to adopt an extreme beginner’s mindset and be okay feeling and sounding like an idiot. You can’t learn without putting yourself out there, you won’t be able to rewire your brain otherwise 2. Related to point 1 - humor helps A TON. If you’re going to sound like an idiot, lean into it - you want people to bust your balls. Learn to joke and make people laugh (learning swear words and local idioms is a great way to do this) 3. Make it clear you want and welcome correction. Make it safe for people to make fun of you, repeatedly ask for feedback (“soy gringo menso, ayúdame por favor 🙏🏻”) 4. Once you lay that groundwork, here’s your first cheat code: pick a book like Harry Potter (something with a lot of dialogue) and get the physical book and audiobook. Carve out 15-30 mins/day to do the following: listen to 2-3 sentences, and then read the same segment OUT LOUD (en voz alta) and repeat. You’ll get a sense for where your accent needs tweaking. Pay attention to how your mouth feels: what shape does it take, what physical space do the words occupy etc, Do this every day, no excuses, no off days. Repetition breeds familiarity. 5. Find a practice buddy - if you’re single, dating apps are great for this (don’t cancel me for this, there’s no greater forcing function to modify behavior than romance) or if that’s not for you, use an online service to find a convo buddy (via WhatsApp/facetime). Again, you gotta put yourself out there and be ok sounding/feeling dumb. 6. Do an English “fast” and put yourself in an environment with lots of speaking opportunities (eg take a 1 week vacation to CDMX and sign up for a bunch of tours and events away from English speakers). 1 week minimum, ideally 2. No English means no English. No calling or texting back home and breaking your fast. That’ll get you started. You can’t learn to speak without speaking. Reading and listening, IMO, sit in a far distant second place in the learning hierarchy Other stuff that wasn’t around when I started learning but that seems promising to me: 1. Duolingo - just kidding, this doesn’t seem to help anyone 2. Instagram accounts - like Maddie’s Mundo - for me the key here would be verbally repeating the stuff you see in the videos, NOT passively consuming them. Just like the audiobook hack: watch a video, verbally mimic it, watch again, copy it again, repeat repeat repeat 3. AI - I’m seeing some AI products that seem to allow you to have interactive verbal conversations. Seems very promising I’ll post some links and stuff below. Any other tips? (Duolingo owl, please don’t come for me,” or my family, I harbor no ill feelings toward you)

Let's break down what happens in this clip donated to us by saintontas First, you call me Cap's favorite chatter. This is impossible, I've been gone from her community for over a year up until you started flinging shit at people, I had not spoken to her until the drama started. Second, you Ad Hominem attack me SEVEN times in 60 seconds, that's almost a record. Not a good look for the self-proclaimed "voice of reason". Third, you don't address even a singular one of the points I have made over the last couple weeks, nearly every single one of which has ratio'd you even in your own comments and has dozens of people agreeing with me that you're incorrect or disingenuous in your points. And as for your ad hominems: - Full Time Employed. - Numerous award-winning hobbies. - You call my existence pathetic but I dont remember crashing out on stream on valentines day about other people having fun and making content. - I also don't remember insinuating that people were cheating on their SO's on valentines day because they did a podcast, that's pretty pathetic. - Unlike you I don't have to lie and spread misinformation to keep my community sated, and I dont have to beg my community to clip farm like you do, nor do I have to constantly think about my friends values in numbers like you do, all signs of someone with little man syndrome. - Unlike you I don't hide behind larger creators and go running to daddy when I run out of lies to tell. I have talked my shit to you myself from day one and we both know that a year ago you were STILL too much of a bitch to talk to me yourself (screenshot included). You can enjoy spinning my tweets to your community however you want and attacking me however you want, but the fact that you had to spend over a minute finding as many things to ad hominem at me with as you could tells me that I live rent free in your head, and I relish in the fact that you will never be as big of a man as you think you are. So put your booster seat back on your chair, fix that hat that's too big for your head, and until you grow the balls to actually address me, I'm going to enjoy every moment of you talking yourself in circles.

The crew of 'Mr. Majestyk' (1973) nearly left on the first day of filming because of Charles Bronson. Richard Fleisher begged & convinced them to stay. Throughout the filming, Bronson was given the silent treatment by the crew. Richard Fleischer explaining the whole situation in detail: "The only way to describe Charles Bronson is "Mr. Charm." The United Nations could use his suave diplomacy. He demonstrated this considerable talent for making friends and influencing people on the first day of shooting on 'Mr. Majestyk' (1973) The entire company was parked along one side of a lonely back road several miles outside of La Junta, Colorado, early one September morning. The strung-out trucks, buses, and cars covered about a quarter of a mile. This was the spot where we were supposed to make the first shot of the movie, but we were stymied. The transporter carrying the cars that worked in the shot hadn't arrived. Without those cars there was nothing we could do. Either the transporter had broken down or there was a dreadful foul-up in the transportation department. Whatever it was, there was nothing to do but wait and pace. Bronson started complaining to me about the inefficiency of the whole company, even though we had yet to find out what had happened. After about an hour everyone was out on the road, chatting, playing cards, lounging. I found myself at one end of the line of parked vehicles with my first assistant, Buck Hall. Charlie Bronson was at the other end. The entire cast and crew stood between us Suddenly Charlie called out, "Hey, Dick!" I turned and shouted back, "Yeah, Charlie?" "You know what this company needs?" "No, I don't. What does it need?" "It needs a European first assistant and a European crew!" he shouted back. The entire company froze. This was an insult beyond compare or repair. The redneck coefficient of American movie crews is notorious. Compared to them the Ku Klux Klan and the Skinheads are the radical left. To be contemptuously compared to Europeans was a stunning slap in the face. Luckily, the transporter with the cars showed up at that moment and we went to work. As soon as we got back to the motel that evening, Buck Hall came to my room. Buck had been my assistant on many pictures over the years, and we were close and devoted friends. There were tears in his eyes. "The crew is leaving the picture tonight. They're going back to the studio and I'm going with them." Thank you, Charlie Bronson. We talked for a long time. I pleaded with him and begged him not to go. Out of loyalty and friendship he finally agreed to stay and to try to keep the crew from leaving. Buck came through for me. He and the crew remained on the picture, but they did something I'd never seen before, nor have I seen it since. They gave Bronson the silent treatment. Unless it was absolutely necessary, like calling him to the set, no one ever spoke to him again for the entire picture. Not a word. Not a "good morning" or a "good night." Charlie must have been aware of what was happening, but he never mentioned it to me. The only reference he ever made that something peculiar was going on was one day when he said, "I just don't understand it. Nobody calls me 'Charlie' on this picture. They only call me 'Mr. Bronson.'" ('Just Tell me When to cry', Richard Fleischer, 1993)

Bitch, I do not play about eighth grade star aka opinions based girl….. yeah everybody’s laughing now, but it literally does not take away the fact that you are so fucking ugly like I had his ass blocked on my old account before I even saw this because every time he pops up on my for you page I just have to scroll because he’s so fucking ugly that it pisses me off he looks like he could be casted on Netflix and not in a good way. He seriously needs to find a new haircut because what the fuck is that middle part? and of course he’s a Nepo baby, and the best part is I just found out that he used to be fat, I bet he’s an anorexic asf lowkey all shade and that’s the only way his pathetic ass could lose weight and I know he didn’t use laxatives cause he’s definitely a bottom, the type that one bitch from White Lotus would say as a fem and NOT a butch. You can tell he wants to be Matthew from big mouth but he’s more of a Charlie from heartstopper, you can also tell that he’s never got his ass beat, well maybe once in middle school and then his white ass republican parents freaked the fuck out and got the kid suspended or some shit. Of course he’s obsessed with Diet Coke, he’s so obviously wants to be a white woman that it is embarrassing. Middle schoolers definitely go up to him and be like “oh my God you’re famous on TikTok” and he thinks he’s the shit but the rest of the population don’t give a fuck and the way his mom is a teacher…… I know that she probably yells at the fucking class for everything but really she’s just taking it out on these kids because she knows deep down that she wishes her son was like them instead of a fucking loser who makes strawberry bagels on TikTok not to mention everybody praised him for doing angel tree, bitch that’s nothing he probably just used some of his allowance money to look like a good person so y’all bitches would suck his dick. Omg in all of his fucking videos he tries to sound cute with that feminine ass voice and it gives me a secondhand embarrassment down. he thinks he’s Troye Sivan, but he will never admit that he probably listens to fucking country music and Taylor Swift so he can fit in with all of his Christian girl friends and that’s it. You can tell he peaked in high school. He was definitely the “token gay” and the homophobic straight boys loved him because he was “funny“ but it was all surface level, TikTok humor that seems funny to them. of course he reposted something about drinking on antidepressants. Just because you had a white claw and some lexapro(which explains why he used to be fat as fuck) doesn’t make you whatever a fucking vibe you’re trying to go for. He looks like he jerks off to the Lululemon maternity catalog while pretending he’s Harry Styles. I saw on TikTok that he has a girlfriend and I can’t tell if it’s just for attention or if he’s actually still dl so that his parents don’t freak the fuck out on him and he has to get a real job. This one girl posted him on TikTok, shaking his hips and drinking wine…… like who do you think you fucking are bro? like genuinely who the fuck do you think you are?🔑 he also reposted a TikTok about Lorde “looking a mess” I really don’t give a fuck if it was a joke. You have no place to be talking about somebody’s looks when he looks like that……. and y’all know what I mean, the type of guy who fucks all the dl in the room because he has zero confidence. The type of guy who has all the latest Apple products for no reason. I mean seriously he looks like he eats fucking rocks. Apparently he caused a lot of drama on TikTok (of course) and blamed his OCD like what kind of dumb ass excuse is that but then again he probably asked his mom what to say and then she sent him a script and he went with it. Somebody keeps on copying his videos and it’s pissing him off. I think it’s so hilarious…… you realize you’re just another copy and paste of every other wanna be “ influencer”. Don’t ever try coming for eighth grade start again.🔑🔑

Middle schoolers definitely go up to him and be like “oh my God you’re famous on TikTok” and he thinks he’s the shit but the rest of the population don’t give a fuck and the way his mom is a teacher…… I know that she probably yells at the fucking class for everything but really she’s just taking it out on these kids because she knows deep down that she wishes her son was like them instead of a fucking loser who makes strawberry bagels on TikTok not to mention everybody praised him for doing angel tree, bitch that’s nothing he probably just used some of his allowance money to look like a good person so y’all bitches would suck his dick. Omg in all of his fucking videos he tries to sound cute with that feminine ass voice and it gives me a secondhand embarrassment down. he thinks he’s Troye Sivan, but he will never admit that he probably listens to fucking country music and Taylor Swift so he can fit in with all of his Christian girl friends and that’s it. You can tell he peaked in high school. He was definitely the “token gay” and the homophobic straight boys loved him because he was “funny“ but it was all surface level, TikTok humor that seems funny to them. of course he reposted something about drinking on antidepressants. Just because you had a white claw and some lexapro(which explains why he used to be fat as fuck) doesn’t make you whatever a fucking vibe you’re trying to go for. He looks like he jerks off to the Lululemon maternity catalog while pretending he’s Harry Styles. I saw on TikTok that he has a girlfriend and I can’t tell if it’s just for attention or if he’s actually still dl so that his parents don’t freak the fuck out on him and he has to get a real job. This one girl posted him on TikTok, shaking his hips and drinking wine…… like who do you think you fucking are bro? like genuinely who the fuck do you think you are?🔑 he also reposted a TikTok about Lorde “looking a mess” I really don’t give a fuck if it was a joke. You have no place to be talking about somebody’s looks when he looks like that……. and y’all know what I mean, the type of guy who fucks all the dl in the room because he has zero confidence. The type of guy who has all the latest Apple products for no reason. I mean seriously he looks like he eats fucking rocks. Apparently he caused a lot of drama on TikTok (of course) and blamed his OCD like what kind of dumb ass excuse is that but then again he probably asked his mom what to say and then she sent him a script and he went with it. Somebody keeps on copying his videos and it’s pissing him off. I think it’s so hilarious…… you realize you’re just another copy and paste of every other wanna be “ influencer”. Don’t ever try coming for eighth grade start again.🔑🔑

$Megyn Kelly Attacks Dave Rubin! "I hate to disappoint Tucker's critics. Mark my words, JD Vance will never condemn him because he's not a dick." ~ Megyn Kelly On today's episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, host Megyn Kelly, joined by guest Emily Jashinsky, addressed the escalating attacks on Vice President JD Vance, drawing parallels to the criticisms once leveled at former President Donald Trump. Kelly highlighted the shifting narrative from media and political opponents, noting how Vance is now being painted as "even worse than Trump." She elaborated, "Trump, you know, was he really a racist? But JD Vance is definitely a racist. He's an anti-Semite. He's associated with Tucker Carlson, who everybody knows is an anti-Semite and a Nazi. Mark Levin told me so." Kelly pointed out the efforts to tie Vance to Carlson through their friendship, emphasizing that Vance has not condemned him despite pressure. "You're a long time waiting. He's never going to condemn Tucker. I hate to disappoint Tucker's critics. Mark my words, JD Vance will never condemn him because he's not a dick. He is going to stick by his friend. And I don't think JD Vance thinks that Tucker is an anti-Semite or believes any of the things that people are saying about him. And he's not going to say something he doesn't believe." The discussion then turned to a pointed social media response from commentator Dave Rubin, who urged Vance to distance himself from Carlson's family amid broader concerns about rising antisemitism. Kelly read Rubin's post aloud: "Mr. VP, I submit this respectfully. You're totally right. Nobody should be judged for their parents' words or actions. But, and I think you know this, the very people relentlessly attacking Jews now have Indians next up on the docket. And that includes your wife, even if she eventually converts to Christianity." Rubin continued, "So yes, Tucker can interview whoever he wants. His brother can post garbage memes all day, and his son who may be just fine, can work for the vice president, but I think people are asking you to stand up when you see something evil. While I know you are trying to hold an increasingly fractured coalition together, you were elected to be a leader, not follow the whims of the trolls. And since they eventually will turn on your own family, at some point you might want to get ahead of it. Those are my two cents, and I'll continue to defend all the good things you and President Trump are doing. Something that this crew of people never do." Kelly sought Jashinsky's take, asking, "What do you make of that one?"Jashinsky called the post "unfortunate," describing it as "a kind of verging on public virtue signal" that risks "needlessly tear[ing] people apart." Kelly agreed, observing a growing divide within conservative circles. She remarked, "There's definitely a faction of the conservative right that's the more neoconi[sh] fashion, the more pro-Israel faction that is turning into BLM 2020. I mean that it's very alienating and it's very not conservative and it's not going to serve anybody well. Not the right, not them." Jashinsky echoed the sentiment, adding, "It's a pointless exercise because most conservatives will recoil when faced with the choices of like say it say it my way rather than get on board. That is just not for us. That just like it's not how we've operated. It's not like in our DNA. So yeah, I agree with you on that wholeheartedly." The conversation built on a discussion from the previous day's show with guest Glenn Greenwald, underscoring the pattern of personal attacks on Vance as a tactic to undermine the administration's coalition.$

A 2500 years old Mummy of high priest was found inside an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, during live broadcast of series Expedition Unknown ... In April 7, 2019 Discovery viewers from 95 countries around the world witnessed history in the making in Expedition Unknown: Egypt Live as a team of Egyptian archaeologists and explorers uncovered a 2,500-year-old mummy of a high priest for the first time ever on live television. But that was not the only stunning find. In addition to the high priest mummy, two other mummies were revealed along with a treasure trove of antiquities, including a mysterious wax head. Adventurer and avid explorer Josh Gates and world-renowned Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass, whose legendary career spans nearly 50 years, explored the deep tunnels underground; while TV personality Chris Jacobs and Dr. Mostafa Waziri, the secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt, provided on-the-ground commentary. Among the other discoveries found inside the “Family Tomb,” included unique objects such as an ancient Egyptian board game, the remains of a family dog and four intact canopic jars used to store a mummy’s organs. While the second mummy was not a high priest or fully preserved, the objects inside the tomb and inscriptions on his sarcophagus reveal that he was a singer in the temple of an Egyptian god known as Thoth. Besides finding the mummies at the site, Dr. Hawass revealed to Josh Gates for the very first time a mysterious wax head that they believe is the mold of “Irt Hrw,” one of the high priests. This extraordinary wax head is the exact cast of a 2,500-year-old high priest mummy – with such detailed features that he could have easily been picked out on the street from it. This moment lead to the stunning finale of the broadcast with the opening of a sealed sarcophagus, which contained an exquisitely preserved 2,500-year-old high priest, a “Great of the Five Priest of Thoth,” covered from top to bottom with gold banding and other artifacts. “Never in my 50 years in archaeology have I experienced something on such a grand scale as this,” Dr. Hawass said. “The findings here are completely special and totally unique. This is what keeps me going. It is what keeps me feeling young and alive!” © Discovery #archaeohistories

My takeaways from Day 1 of Trump-Xi summit Beijing knows President Trump likes the red carpet rolled out for him -- and they certainly delivered. Trump was greeted with all the pomp and circumstance: an elaborate military ceremony, friendly rhetoric, and both leaders speaking about shared cooperation and the long history of U.S.-China ties. Trump even called it an "honor" to be Xi Jinping's friend, calling him a "great leader". TAIWAN Beneath all the platitudes, simmering tensions. Xi delivered a stark warning on Taiwan -- that if the issue is handled "improperly", it could lead to "conflict". The real question hanging over this summit: will China use what Trump wants on Iran and other issues to extract concessions? The concern among some in natsec world is that Xi will press for reduced U.S. arms sales to Taiwan — or seek language from Washington outright opposing Taiwan independence. IRAN The Trump administration came here wanting China to use its influence over Tehran to help end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The White House readout mentioned the two sides agreed the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. But the Chinese readout of the meeting didn't mention Iran's nuclear program or the Strait, saying only that the Middle East was discussed. That tracks with what experts have been telling me: Beijing doesn't want to get pulled in too deep - they see this war as America's problem to solve. WHITE HOUSE READOUT The White House readout was largely what was expected — economic cooperation, expanding access for American businesses in China, increased Chinese purchases of U.S. agricultural products, and continued pressure on fentanyl flows. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the two sides will discuss forming a board of trade and board of investment to manage bilateral trade/investment in non-sensitive areas. Bessent also said the two leaders will talk AI: “The two AI superpowers are going to start talking, we’re going to set up a protocol in terms of how do we go forward with best practices for AI to make sure non-state actors don’t get ahold of these models," Bessent said. BOTTOM LINE So far, it looks like China is getting what it wants. Beijing gets to showcase itself as an equal power standing alongside the United States on the world stage. State media is already portraying this visit as a major diplomatic victory for China. Some commentary in China is framing this trip as proof that Trump needs China more than China needs Trump, pointing out how Trump has been weakened by the war in Iran amid low polling numbers.

Donald Trump Is Not Your Friend Virulent Iran hawk Brian Hook has reportedly been chosen by Donald Trump to help staff the State Department of the incoming administration, just in case you were still holding out hope that this time might be different and Trump really would end the wars and fight the deep state. Readers might remember Hook as the swamp creature who in 2017 was seen in a leaked State Department memo lecturing Rex Tillerson on the US government’s policy of using human rights as a cynical tool to undermine enemies and reinforce alliances. This is done, Hook explained, by ignoring human rights abuses when they are perpetrated by US allies while emphasizing them at every opportunity in the nations of enemy governments in order to “impose costs, apply counter-pressure, and regain the initiative from them strategically.” “The ‘realist’ view is that America’s allies should be supported rather than badgered, for both practical and principled reasons, and that while the United States should certainly stand as moral example, our diplomacy with other countries should focus primarily on their foreign policy behavior rather than on their domestic practices as such,” Hook wrote in the memo, saying that “In the case of US allies such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines, the Administration is fully justified in emphasizing good relations for a variety of important reasons, including counter-terrorism, and in honestly facing up to the difficult tradeoffs with regard to human rights.” “One useful guideline for a realistic and successful foreign policy is that allies should be treated differently — and better — than adversaries,” Hook wrote. “We do not look to bolster America’s adversaries overseas; we look to pressure, compete with, and outmaneuver them. For this reason, we should consider human rights as an important issue in regard to US relations with China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. And this is not only because of moral concern for practices inside those countries. It is also because pressing those regimes on human rights is one way to impose costs, apply counter-pressure, and regain the initiative from them strategically.” Hook’s words, shared in confidentiality with the political neophyte Tillerson, were an excellent window into what western empire managers are doing when they feign outrage at alleged human rights abuses in nations they’ve targeted for destruction. The fact that his would be one of the first names chosen by Trump suggests we can expect more despicable foreign policy recklessness from the returning president. I’m already getting people telling me to “give Trump a chance” and stop criticizing him before he’s in office when I point out developments like this. Give Trump a chance? He had four years. He was the president for four fucking years. Trump showed us who he is: a murderous warmongering empire lackey just like his predecessors. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. There’s no reason to think this time will be different. Trump criticizes foreign interventionism because that kind of rhetoric is popular, not because he actually means it. In order to get to where he’s at Trump cut deals with Zionist oligarchs, powerful lobby groups, and more or less the exact same Republican voting base and donor class that’s given rise to every other disgusting Republican president in recent years. Even if he wanted to end wars and fight the establishment (and there is no evidence that he does), he’s already tied his own hands with the deals he’s made with the powerful establishment factions he’s promised his service to. Trump supporters are George W Bush supporters LARPing as Ron Paul supporters. They act like they’re backing some anti-war figure who’s taking a meaningful stand against the machine, when they’re really backing a guy who spent four years rolling out longstanding neocon agendas. That’s what makes them so annoying. At least liberals are more or less honest about wanting to preserve the status quo; Trumpers want you to take seriously their belief that they participated in some huge revolutionary act by ticking a box for the Republican on election day. They correctly believe that their country is controlled by an unelected deep state (though they are very confused about who that actually is), but they incorrectly believe this unelected power structure can be defeated by voting for one of the two mainstream candidates presented to them at the ballot box. Like that would ever be an option. I am really not looking forward to another four years of that shit, I’ll be honest. For four fucking years these morons were in my mentions telling me every action of Trump’s that I criticized was actually a brilliant 47-dimensional chess maneuver against the deep state, even when he was openly advancing some longstanding agenda of the CIA and neoconservative swamp monsters like ramping up aggressions against Iran or staging a coup in Venezuela. They warm up to me because they see me criticizing the media and talking about corrupt power structures and go “Ooh, she’s like me!”, but then they cannot understand why I keep criticizing their shitty Republican daddy figure. And then I have to spend my time explaining to them that their hero is a murderous imperialist shitstain. And at the same time I’m going to have to be criticizing the Democrats because they’ll be attacking Trump for being insufficiently hawkish on foreign policy, because that’s the only foreign policy criticism you’re allowed to level at a US president in mainstream politics and media — which will only contribute to the problem of Trump supporters thinking I’m on their side. It’s a much less efficient and straightforward way for me to do my thing than when there’s a Democrat in charge of the war machine. It’s not my preferred way to operate. Let me make things simple: if you are cheering for the US president, you are not fighting the power. You are a power-worshipping bootlicker, and you should feel embarrassed. Your president is not your friend. The US president will always, always serve the warmongering power structure you correctly feel needs to be opposed. The plutocrats and empire managers who rule your country are never, ever going to let you vote them out of power. Hope that helps. Reading by Tim Foley.
