Catherina Gioino@catgioino.bsky.social · 2mo agoI wrote about how much Americans wagered on sports betting in 2025 and how it’s more than they spent on movies, art, museums and music combined. Read my article @fortunemagazine.bsky.social fortune.com/2026/07/26/g...

One wonders if Brett Kavanaugh was protecting Debbie Ramirez’ right to access education free from sex discrimination when he allegedly took his dick out and shoved it in her face at a party at Yale.

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

This is going to be the fate of every stupid woman who supported and worked for this admin and movement. You're all going to be replaced with men who slap each other around with fake cocks and brag about fucking "the young" before having your rights obliterated. Hope it was worth it, ladies!
