My dad is very involved with AA- 38 years sober. He started making these for people in his groups- he's made 121 (he mentors and goes to retreats). He's a talented artist. I'm so enormously proud of him and how he is supporting others on their sobriety journeys.

My thoughts on being welcoming to MAGA chodes here is that during the Paleolithic, if people displayed antisocial behavior, raped/ were found to be pedophiles, our ancestors let them test their luck against the saber-tooth tigers one v one mode, and sadly there are no tigers around...

Why is Sophie Cunningham making a stink about how women should be afraid of trans women in sports? She's such a shit player her WNBA opponents aren't even concerned about *her*. Go to the gym and work harder honey, keep your bigoted claptrack closed and sink more open baskets 😘

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
