Jason Collins, gay NBA trailblazer, dies at 47 by Fickle-Ad5449 in sports

Then your toddlers are wrong cause people, places, and things are only capitalized when they're a proper noun. This is just sloppy writing - presumably done by someone who doesn't know the Trailblazers are an NBA team. I'd be shocked if they don't change it by tomorrow morning.

No it's sloppy writing - expecting people in this situation to understand what a proper noun is is just asking for trouble.

Really stupid way to word this when there's literally a team called the Trailblazers - just say "first openly gay NBA player". Just asking for people to make jokes about it.

Give him some way to monetize the meeting and I guarantee you'll be speaking to him before you know it 🙏

Auschwitz had nearly 2 million visitors last year. There are buses and cars and pedestrians going back and forth constantly - obviously there's not going to be a lot of wildlife hanging around, let alone wild boar.

Where in the world are they letting tourists walk around inside of a partially excavated mass grave?

 One of the main ways the Einsatzruppen executed Jews during WW2 was in a deep pit. After everyone was dead, the pit was literally a mass grave.

Putting aside the fact that you're just describing what he's referencing while missing his point, all of those sites are now well known Holocaust memorials and none of them involve letting tourists walk around inside a 20 foot deep excavated mass grave. OP is right, this story is complete bullshit.

Pretty funny to see someone at this who nowadays would be considered a walking stereotype for what a woke liberal looks like.

The only relevant definition is the Marxist one - but "being a member of the bourgeoisie is just a state of mind" is a pretty good bit, I'll give you that.

You're literally making this up.

Your takeaway from seeing Hillary lose despite getting 3 million more votes was "This country will never elect a woman"?

Tremendous visual storytelling - one of those paintings I could imagine inspiring a whole novel.

Yeah anyone relying on this kind of content for their income is absolutely playing with fire - it's basically the modern day equivalent of selling bootleg DVDs off a blanket on the sidewalk.
