this shit look like a hiv prescription medicine commercial

@catturd2 The only thing that's "nuts" is that the US military shoots down Walmart party balloons with $500,000 missiles and then Congress thinks it's aliens

not sure if anyone is at Bluesky. when I visit the site all is calm, unchanging; I have not had a single new follower in many months; exchanges are always interesting & intelligent but relatively few. Bluesky exudes the air of an upscale mall, beautifully maintained, hushed. one will likely not be mobbed or mugged here but one will likely not feel a quickening of the heart, a jab of adrenaline.

He goes into these fights with a lot of pride, so hats off to him. Nothing but respect before the fight, during the fight, and after the fight. That’s a real man right there. At the end of the day, you gotta sell fights. I’ve got a lot of good Muslim guys in my camp too. Sometimes when I’m talking about him, part of me is like, man… I love those guys.” via @UFConParamount
