TMZ stays evil and unethical. The article says AOC and her ex split up YEARS ago, but they’re framing it as something that just happened to capitalize on the sexist outrage over her freezing her eggs. They know the vast majority of people won’t read the article.

The best update I've seen on the Little League scandal

is at Sports Illustrated. 

Sounds like Little League told Tulsa and the Texas judge to pound sand, there will be no game.  

And sounds like the Texas judge made his finding solely on the basis that Tulsa would be harmed if they didn't get to play--meanwhile, the other team burned all its pitching on the basis of Little League's ruling and belief no game against Tulsa would be played:

Here are four of the five pages from the court document detailing the Temporary Restraining Order granted to Tulsa National in its dispute with Little League.

"one of the worst designs in hotel history. The elevators rattle uncontrollably, shaking the occupants like a martini all the way up"

"A stay at the decrepit tomb of what was once the Vegas Strip's coolest hotel"

Good logo for "Books are weapons"

I’m reading a book published in 1944 and this logo is so unbelievably tough. I’d absolutely wear a shirt with this exact design.

I made a clear backed copy of the image for you. Should go straight onto a custom printed shirt.
