I can’t believe I have to say this but don’t try to kill a Presidential candidate and also don’t post about how it’s good that someone tried to do it

Still war gaming scenarios to do this without getting divorced

I unfortunately have had to purchase a new console. This is EA CFB fever.

Because hedgehog has to be slowly braised to break it down well

Because an in and out would violate states' prostitution laws

Good morning, this is day 5 of Hurricane Beryl and the fourth largest city in the US still can’t get electricity to its population, but at least deregulation keeps the prices low for that electricity we’re not getting!

Not only does this not offset all the “will Biden be replaced?”, but because it’s editorial, it’s buried on the app under things as important as “Elon Musk’s plans to colonize Mars” (Literally.)

OMG CHECK OUT THESE IBEW JERSEYS INSPIRED BY THE 1970S ASTROS

Beyond not giving a shot, I find it easy to believe they did this to blame the feds

It’s crazy that the Texas Governor and Lieutenant Governor don’t even really pretend to give a shit about responding to disasters anymore. Reading this, they don’t really deny what Biden and the people from FEMA have said.

To be technical, Centerpoint does have an app for this, it just crashes in every storm.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

For a Cat-1, this wind is not fucking around.

Marine Le Pen? More like Marine L Pen!

Marine Le Pen? More like Pepe Le Pew, because she stinks FOLKS!

On this day to celebrate all things American, I am once again begging ESPN and every other outlet to stop treating eating as a sport.

Inside Out 2: Very enjoyable. At least a solid B tier Pixar movie, might be A tier on rewatch. Does not reach S tier highs of the first movie, also did not make me sob uncontrollably.

I have limited knowledge of UK politics but always approve of using the word “defenestrated”

Sunak fears he’s lost his seat. If that happens he’ll make history as the first PM to be defenestrated.

Rishi Sunak fearful of losing his seat, sources saywww.theguardian.com Prime minister would become first sitting British leader to be voted out of his constituency if his fears are realised

YOU DID NOT JUST TALK ABOUT OUR EXPECTED GOALS. FUCK OFF.

Why haven’t they cut his mic yet? Why is he still there?

“I question how comfortable they are in that locker room.” GET THEM, CARLI. GET THEIR ASS.

Just now catching the Panama highlights, and the US could only dream of having scores any of those goals.

What’s the rate for host nations being eliminated in group stage? Because we’re going to raise it.

Lalas is a complete ass, but he’s speaking truth.
