Have concluded that Sophie Cunningham is the WNBA version of "what if Sam Hauser was a Greek statue Twitter avi guy"
the wnba alienating their core audience for the sake of people who wouldn’t watch a wnba game to save their child’s life is a bold gambit, to be sure

“He grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought” is an astonishing phrase that would stand out in any novel as a lacerating satire. And here it’s employed as an *excuse* for our shit smear mad king.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
“We should return to an older and more accurate name for the Civil War: the Slaveholders’ Rebellion.
