@ProFootballTalk @KaplanSportsBiz And, "has a tiger by the tail" and "difficult to prove" same article. LOL. Hard to believe Florio actually practiced law like I have because, unless he obtained information to support this claim in discovery, this amendment is likely being made out of weakness and for PR purposes

Via @KaplanSportsBiz, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores will be filing a retaliation claim over his effort to challenge the NFL's in-house arbitration system. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@ProFootballTalk @KaplanSportsBiz And of course Florio believes him totally, forgetting that he was fired by a black GM when Flores lost a power struggle. Flores doesn't have a right to any job

@Covers And Bettman would move them to Atlanta in a second if he could.

More fans watching the Canadiens on the Bell Centre jumbotron than the Chargers have at So-Fi Stadium home games.

@pranmatic @FlorioGina My now-wife wouldn’t go to bed with me for months. That’s why she’s my wife. A girl who’d fuck me on the first date was fun but I was mentally done with pretty quickly.

@FlorioGina You’re truly a fucking moron if you’re trying to push the narrative that men shouldn’t care about a women whoring herself around. The vast majority of high value men don’t want to marry a slut. We’re allowed to have standards and boundaries.

The common response to this news is that Alex Cooper is somehow leading her audience down a path that she herself is not choosing. But what’s happening here is actually the exact feminist dream. A woman participates in hookup culture as much as she wants when she’s in her prime. She sleeps around, has casual sex, gets the ick, dumps men, gets dumped, has summer flings, gets abortions if needed. She’s hot. She has pretty privilege and isn’t afraid to use it. But when she feels like the time is right, she settles down with a high value man — only because it’s her choice, not because she feels pressured by societal standards or a ticking biological clock. This man does not care about her past because he wouldn’t dare judge a woman for expressing herself sexually. They have a beautiful wedding and her dress is stunning. She gets pregnant when she feels like she’s ready to take on motherhood. She trades in her promiscuous days only when she wants to, on her own terms. And the perfect man she finds is more than happy to go along with her timeline because he respects her and her desires. And he doesn’t want to lose her. Alex has quite literally lived out the perfect feminist blueprint thus far. You see, the only problem is, this modern feminist blueprint usually only works for exceptionally successful, gorgeous women with influence (with exception of course, but we’re talking about the rule here). Models, actresses, wealthy bachelorettes and entrepreneurs. It doesn’t quite translate for the everyday mid who works a boring corporate job. By the time she’s well into her 30s, the everyday mid with the promiscuous past generally doesn’t have the same allure and magnetism as a famous rich blonde who regularly rubs shoulders with elite celebrities. The men that she wants to try and settle down with have far less interest in her and would much rather marry a woman much younger, much less seasoned, and much more fertile. This is why we are seeing such high rates of childless unmarried women. They followed the early years of the blueprint, spending their 20s and even most of their 30s dating casually, believing that they too could find a high value man when they’re older and eventually sick of the dating scene—why wouldn’t they be able to? They look at famous, rich celebs and influencers and think, hey I can do that too. If they can postpone marriage and kids until they are “ready,” so can I! But everyday women simply aren’t on the same playing field as women like Alex Cooper. Few will fully understand this. Many will try to make excuses as to why this isn’t true (brace yourself for the outliers’ stories). Even if you don’t see anything morally wrong with the hookup culture that Alex Cooper praises on her show, young women would be smart to understand the real world, and that you have a much greater chance at locking down a high value man when you’re younger and a bit more austere. Sorry I don’t make the rules.

@FlorioGina @ProfMJCleveland Alex Cooper isn’t really hit. Alix Earle is. Alexa Collins is. But not Cooper

@JoeyKnish22 Someone will be stupid and pay him 200 million so we must just as stupid and pay him. Interesting logic. Let him test the market and if its too much, like say $200 million, then adios

Despite the miserable playoff perf, Duren probably still gets ~200M. Can’t let a 22 year old All Star walk, and if you don’t pay him somebody will. Just how the league works, there’s always a team out there willing. Rest of the FA walk. Try and make a deal for secondary creator

@MarkPaoletta Thomas is a damn fine American.

Justice Clarence Thomas: “The Declaration is, in fact, along with the Gospels, one of the greatest antislavery documents in the history of Western civilization . . . The ideas of the Declaration were so powerful that our nation could not coexist with the contradiction created by the great evil of slavery. Those principles were so powerful that hundreds of thousands of Americans fought and died in the Civil War to make men free. Those ideas have been so powerful that they convinced our nation to finally end segregation.” This is from the monumental speech Justice Thomas delivered last month celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence at @UTAustin. Read and watch this speech. civitasoutlook.com/research/justi…

@AttorneyCrump The full extent of the law must be brought down on whoever is behind this fake hate crime

A historic Black cemetery in Palmetto, Florida, was vandalized, with graves damaged and “Trump” and “DeSantis” spray-painted across tombstones. Our ancestors deserve dignity in life and in death. Desecrating sacred burial grounds is hateful, painful, and unacceptable. We must protect Black history and honor the families impacted by this cruelty.

@WNBA @LVAces @AtlantaDream @seattlestorm @IndianaFever Outside of the few diehards and her family, no one has any idea who #3 is on the Fever

Do not disturb, the W is on today 😏 The @LVAces visit the @AtlantaDream for a must-watch matchup at 1:30pm/ET on NBC and Peacock. Then, the @seattlestorm face-off against the @IndianaFever at 6pm/ET on NBCSN and Peacock.

@wojespn @TeamAOC @AOC LOL. Who exactly is following her and what are they following her on?

@TeamAOC @AOC A leader for these times.

Alabama. Georgia. Louisiana. Tennessee. Your fight is our fight. If you're not from these states, it's time to pull up. We are bound together. It was 300 congregants at Ebenezer who changed the world in the 1960s. We can make a new world together today.

@mbroomy1 @krissyb24poker You can't have any fun. There is always this guy out there.

@disblokehere @krissyb24poker I imagine Alex is already signed up in another event

Unfortunately, my partner is no longer able to attend. I know it's late notice, but I figured I'd throw up a hail Mary as I'd love to play in this event, if anyone can help!!! 🙏

@ProfMJCleveland And we can all predict that Cassidy will become the toast of the media when he goes on the whining tour

A thought on Cassidy’s defeat.  Donald Trump’s philosophy of practicing politics is simple: “If you hit me, I’ll hit you back 10 times harder.”  This is his way of imposing discipline so he can get things done.  Many Republicans mistake this for childish petulance.  The ironic thing is that when these oh-so-high-minded Republicans (Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Thom Tillis, etc.) get their comeuppance, they are the ones who react with truly childish petulance.  They are the ones willing to frustrate the advancement of the conservative agenda that they once claimed to support, simply because they didn’t get their way.  For all his supposed faults, Trump constantly tries to advance the agenda he has been pushing since before he was elected.  His Republican detractors, not so much.

@mehdirhasan He's a gutless worm. He should have made sure she was jailed and put in solitary for her crimes against the people of the US. Even just to send a message to Trump, she should have suffered in jail every moment like a war criminal, which she was the equivalent of.

I’m trying to imagine any Republican governor in America doing the equivalent of what Jared Polis just did. This is why Democrats lose.

@mauricehawkins Congratulations! I am so sick of you being treated so awfully because of your race. Meanwhile, the white con artists get away with everything and no one dares to bad mouth them.

WON IT. To all my fans , this one is for you. To everyoneelse , keep motivating me. THANKS#EatingOnAllStages#Hawksview#MauriceHawkinsPoker

@historyinmemes They all look so small next to Trump and Reagan

In January 2009, President George W. Bush invited President-elect Barack Obama and former Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter to the White House for a meeting and lunch.

@WKRN And?

@StanfordSteve82 Great American Pub. Wish I could buy you a lager and a sambuca

Asking for a friend… what’s the best spot around King of Prussia or Wayne to see about some outdoor day beers?

@Outkick I will never understand why women put up with this and parents sit idly by while their daughters are cheated out of opportunities

Trans athlete AB Hernandez beat the field in the girls’ long jump by over a foot. Officials split the first-place podium in half to make the optics look fair. If you have to redesign the ceremony afterward, maybe the competition wasn’t fair to begin with.

@minakimes LOL. That money will never actually go to the homeless and Mina will of course vote for the same politicians that have perpetuated homelessness for decades so their chums could get fat. But hey at least Mina gets to virtue signal, which is what's really important

Beyond grateful to the Jeopardy folks for letting me play, and for the amazing people at SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition. They do essential, life-changing work here in Los Angeles; if you’re interested in learning more: selahnhc.org
