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.

Exciting new London bike theft technique just experienced! My 200kg family ebike was securely locked to a tall metal pole which had a big parking restriction sign at the top. Three thieves turned up on Lime bikes with chairs, removed parking sign, then lifted bike 2.5metres over top of pole. Genius.

(This might make some sort of sense only if you know nothing about Little League and how far in advance everyone knows who will be on the team, and what a huge deal it is when a new person is added. Let's hear from the family of the kid who was kicked off to make room for the 14th kid.)







(It's interesting hearing ESPN personalities talk about how brilliant this guy is, especially on slow news days, at crafting takes or revealing previously withheld newsy info they can then debate all morning.)
