This goes to show how some dehumanize professional athletes, especially Black athletes.
These athletes are people with families. They are people, not bodies meant for entertainment.
Sending love to Damar Hamlin and his family.

No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome ... which suddenly seems so irrelevant.

I’ve played football all my life and in the NFL for 10 years and I’ve never seen a player receive CPR on the field — game or practice. Praying for Damar! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Damar Hamlin's toy drive fundraiser had a goal of $2,500.
In the last hour, it’s risen to over $300,000 in donations.

A certain house cat has had his patio privileges permanently revoked. I had to pull said house cat from trying to climb the railing.

Last powerlifting PR of 2022!
Squatted 175lb for 3 sets of five reps 
This time last year, I could barely do 115 on squat, so I’m proud of myself.
Hope to be squatting 200 in 2023!

Always nice to wake up to some big sexy meaty slabs in my A section. Ink levels stayed under control and it appears to have run more or less in register. Always a nice bonus

Romanian authorities needed proof that Andrew Tate was in the country so they reportedly used his social media posts. His ridiculous video yesterday featured a pizza from a Romanian pizza chain, Jerry's Pizza, confirming he was in the country.
This is absolutely epic.
