That's been the case for a while. I'm pretty sure that's the No Fun League's fault

Radio sportscasts are always the best. Nothing wrong with Jim Palmer and the MASN fellas, but I've been taught from an early age to mute the TV and turn on the radio while watching sports

Nic Kristof was taken for a ride by anti-porn crusaders in his Pornhub investigation. Pretty much all of his sources ended up being right-wing groups trying to ban internet boobs

Just like how the admins refused to remove the "jailbait" and other pedophilia-adjacent subs until Anderson Cooper and other big-name media started reporting about it.

In most of the city, you have a choice between Xfinity, Xfinity, and Xfinity. They're all equally great, by which I mean they suck donkey balls.

Reply to comment by dickalopejr in TIL the US federal government captures and sells excess wild horses to the public by MoistCoyote
Przewalski's horse, a close relative of the domestic horses, is still around
Because horses originally evolved in North America, there has been the argument that the arrival of feral horses after 1492 was a reintroduction of a native species rather than an invasive feral population. This is why the US government is in the unique position of protecting a feral population

He's sometimes called Africa's Pol Pot. Almost a quarter of Equatorial Guinea's population was killed during his rule.

Funnily enough, that in reverse is basically how my family ended up in the Baltimore area after emigrating from Ireland in the 1840s. They landed in NY, and planned to go to Texas, but ran out of money in Cockysville, which is how the area near the quarries there got its name

I mean, the only reason he settled there was because his migrant group ran out of money while travelling to Texas (which is why the area is called Texas, Maryland. FWIW, pretty much all of the original village had been built over by the quarries decades ago.

Yeah, that area is pretty oversaturated with chain restaurants and retail. Turning it into storage pays the property taxes until that shopping center can get completely redeveloped

Fun fact: that site is where Richard Padian, namesake of Padonia Rd (also my ancestor), lived back in the 1800s after emigrating from Ireland

Reply to comment by ArmsForPeace84 in Virgin Orbit fails to secure funding, will cease operations and lay off nearly entire workforce by getBusyChild
The problem with virgin orbital is that they did exclusively air-launched rockets, which have a hard limit on the payload size that makes manned flight pretty much impossible (i.e. if it won't fit under a 747 wing, it won't fly). Moreover, air-launched rockets have been all but obsolete ever since Space-X and Rocket Lab have proved first-stage recovery to be reliable and extremely economical.
