Viva Venezuela, A Champion At Last
For almost my entire life, Venezuela has been a punching bag, a nasty joke couched in fake concern. I used to participate in some of that punching, to be clear. But as I grew into political consciousn...

Friend (gay, single, he wants everyone to know) just told me I’m too straight to love the new Slayyyter album. Which, yeah fair but that’s not gonna stop me.

If this year’s Man City were even 80% of a normal Man City side, I would feel confident in saying Arsenal just blew the title. As it stands, tho, it’s going to be a very very very interesting run-in.

I never see Marlins fans perform mental illness online even in terrible losses, unlike basically every other fanbase in MLB, which leads me to one of two conclusions: either a) we are all normal or b) there are like seven of us and we’re all used to it.
