Author @gilduran.com was just banned from “free speech absolutist” twitter for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
This is AMAZING! Disney has reanimated some of its songs in collaboration with Deaf West Theater into ASL. This is so beautifully done. The signs are clear. I'm crying for what this will mean to deaf kids seeing these beloved characters using their language. THIS is DEI.

Extending this line: 1. ... Nc3+ 2. BxN Qxb3+ 3. Bb2 (Kc1 loses to Ba3#) QxR+ then 4. Bc1 loses bishop to Rc8 because Black can reply Bh3 if white tries to protect with Qe3 or Qf4. 4. Kh2 minimizes material loss to R+p for N but 4. ... Qh5 forces queen exchange then Black can unleash its rook!
Then moved to Europe, racing mainly in UK, becoming the only jockey to win both the Kentucky Derby, and the Espom Derby. 3-time British Jockey Champion, his last major wins were in 1991, and accumulated 2,794 wins. He's now a horse breeder back home in Kentucky. 2/2
Speaking of hyped teens that delivered, I thought of that jockey, Steve Cauthen. Started pro career at 16, became the first jockey to win 6 million in a season at age of 17, won the Triple Crown the following year on Affirmed and became the only jockey to be named SI's sportsman of the year. 1/2
I remember when Sen. Orrin Hatch made noises about amending the Constitution so Ah-nuld Schwarzenegger could run for president!
I hate Illinois Nazis!

OMG haven't seen that Tico logo since 1981! Brings back memories of the Valley during my childhood! The Madhouse on McDowell, Kush, Wallace and Ladmo!
Missed that threat, and assumed a sacrifice was required on first move. Ok, it's not 1. Qe+ either, so 1. Qd8+ Bg8 (if BxQ then RxB#) 2. QxRh5 winning a rook and defusing the immediate threat. Dunno why your comment got tagged as being in French! Ça ne fait rien, les échecs, c'est les échecs!
1. QxB RxQ 2. Re8+ Rf8 3. RxR# (or 1. ... Qd8 2. Re8+ QxR 3. QxQ+ Rf8 4. QxR#)
Why not go the full distance and use a tongue extension to roll out a la Gregory Hines's character in History of the World Part I? You're a mother right?

can be discerned by applying stochastic integration. At least, that's how I feel about the past decade!
If J.D. Vance is Catholic, then I'm the Sultan of Swat!
Apparently, if you and Wolf Blitzer team up, you could take on Larry Bird?
A British history show on ballooning helped me with all those Louises!
Yeah! At least this bishop is TRYING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqga...

If the king captures, then promote. If the king flees, then yes, fxN to avert mate: 1. Rh8+ Kg6 2. fxN QxQ 3. a8=Q QxQ 4. RxQ then white has 2 rooks to Black's single knight and an extra pawn which is passed but should lose to accurate endplay.

Love that that guy's positioned just so the guy on left is giving him the disappointed cricket guy look!
My guess: 1. Rh8+ Kxh8 2. a8=Q+ Kh7 3. fxN to win the black queen.
Okay but I'll stick with the leather aviator helmet, thanks!
you could always photoshop a rosary on that raccoon.
I was going to get around to doing this even before my 14 year son excitedly told me about it and insisted that we get tickets. I checked to see if there were any, and holy shit! No less than 12 theaters within 15 miles radius showing it, including the Universal Studios one!
I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

ICE is alive and well in Los Angeles, aided and abetted by the County, and the City.
They're trafficking people, who increasingly have nothing left to lose.
