I say this without snark: In times like these, it would be a lot better for society if public figures like Eric Schmitt were willing to just admit they got it wrong instead of doing whatever this is
Who knew Jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Eric Schmitt accused Jack Smith of perjury during his congressional testimony because Eric did not know the difference between the Hawks and Hawkeyes nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

All of Ed Sheeran’s openers have now withdrawn from the Looper Tour. Please realize how big this is. This is what unity looks like. Billionaires are terrified of people realizing how strong they can be when we come together for a cause. Continue speaking out. Support the new artists that are deciding to put their careers at risk to take this stance.

I choose to not give Treasure Planet nor Atlantis: The Lost Empire a sequel.
Given a choice, which one of these two would you pick to get officially greenlit for a sequel?

He’s too fucking good at this. OSSOFF: You said Iran's military had been rendered combat ineffective for years to come & Operation Epic Fury achieved every objective. Were those accurate statements? HEGSETH: Crashing out… OSSOFF: Mr Secretary. You need to answer the question.

My fourth album, The Great Divide, is yours to listen to. It is hard to even begin to describe what these last few years making this album has felt like. The collision of fear and pressure and joy and luck and total love has left me wordless, and if you know me personally, I hardly ever shut my mouth. I spent many months walking forward in complete darkness, hands out in front of me, desperate to touch something familiar that would show me I was near the light switch again. As lonely as it felt, and as unfamiliar as the world seemed in those moments, I was never really alone. I don’t think any of us ever truly are. I was guided through the wilderness by calm voices, by the stillness of my home state, by the total commitment of my band, producers, and team, by the steady and loving touch of my wife and family, and of course, by the constant and enduring encouragement of you all, who I am so lucky to have as fans. I am very proud of what we are doing together and I hope we can live this dream for a long long time noahkahan.lnk.to/thegreatdiv…
