The Long Game

To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything. Ten years. That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family…from the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what […]…

#foxesInLove #comic

Source: foxes-in-love.tumblr.com/post/…
Copyright: foxesinlove.net

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are pressed together, cuddled up and simply enjoying each others' company, eyes peacefully closed. Green: You know what's the best part of the holidays? Blue: What is it? Green: All our problems are next year's problems. All can wait until January. While Blue's expression remains peaceful, Green opens his eyes in realisation to his words. Blue: Except for that thing in the sink. Both of the foxes turn to look at something coming in from outside of the comic panel, with slimy tentacle-like tendrils reaching towards them. Green: Oh right. We should probably do something about that.

The wellness wild west is back on its bullshit with unapproved weight loss drugs

It’s far too easy to buy so-called GLP-3s through gray-market websites.


The wellness wild west is back on its bullshit with unapproved weight loss drugs

On social media, it’s easy to find gray market sellers of retatrutide, the so-called GLP-3 drug. The only problem is it’s still undergoing FDA approval.

“Alright coach, you just got handed the trophy of the inaugural Xbox bowl by Master Chief, how does it feel?”

Last night was the first Xbox Bowl, with Arkansas State taking the trophy, presented by Halo’s Master Chief, over Missouri State. Every player received a free ROG Xbox Ally handheld ahead of the game, but the winning team also received a playable trophy to, presumably, lock away in their case.

I did three incredibly neat, large poos today, they slipped out so easily and nestled in the pan in such an attractive manner I wanted to take a picture but then realised I'd never be able to show it to anyone.

104 murders in 107 days -- One of the more surreal phenomena of the last year ... (Radley Balko/The Watch)

104 murders in 107 days

The Trump administration's drug boat campaign has assassinated about one person each day since early September. These are murders, and our basic humanity demands that we not get complacent about them.
