I guess so, or atleast that fight he did. The two are one and the same for me so I thought it was the other, and inly remember because there was a video clip floating around that looks like floyd held him up after rocking him with a punch to the face. Pretty sure wwe has or will soon put a championship belt on I think Logan.

It was actually Logan Paul, not Jake Paul, but yeah they fought in 2021 to a draw.

Like when Mayweather literally held him upright so it could go to a draw.

I wonder if we’ll get another month long shutdown with a pinky promise to vote on it that’ll be ignored again.

Crazy that we went from 10 year terms as director to 10 months.

‘The texas case was a week ago, plenty of time for changes to election structure. The California case was this week and is far too close to an election for changes.’

His terrible track record aside, it’s kind of crazy just how many different pies he’s had his fingers in over the years. The guy is like the Forrest Gump of shady business dealings.

He owned a USFL team, the New Jersey Generals. Shockingly, he bankrupted the team and is widely viewed as the catalyst for the league folding.

Dems once again worried that the tide is swinging in their favor before the midterms.

And lest anyone think there was a happy time in between civil rights and the Reagan gutting of services, the Greensboro massacre took place in 1979.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day since someone else posted a cover of it earlier. This is the second version released by original artist Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Will Oldham), and was released after Johnny Cash covered it as part of his ‘I’m dying so here’s a billion covers to make you bawl’ phase, giving it a more uplifting feel with the thumping drum and backup vocals. One of my favorite post-depression jams for coming back to the world.

 

The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.

The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.

Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.

Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.

 

Saw two shooting stars pop up while watching the comet last night, one of them showed up in the exposure I was taking at the time.

Was surprised to be able to see it this far south, in canyon of the ancients so super remote.

Taken on a Canon R8 24mm wide lens, iso 1600, 15 second exposure, f5.0; no post processing.
