I’ve already forgotten Herschel Walker exists.

He probably has too.

What is the purpose of granting anonymity to serial liars?

The Tour de France is a grueling 2,200-mile, 23-day race. Froome has won 4 times.

One of my favorite Twitter accounts was always Matthew Christopher's Abandoned America. Matthew closed up shop on Twitter and moved to Mastodon as @AbandonedAmerica.
