The phenomenon of internet predators that fabricate online identities and entire social circles to trick people into emotional/romantic relationships (over a long period of time).
Possible motivations: revenge, loneliness, curiosity, boredom
The term catfishing was inspired by the 2010 documentary "Catfish."
God bless America.

I'm not a huge fan of 1990s rock and pop music, but I've always had a soft spot for Oasis; the Gallagher brothers were a hoot and IMO Noel is a talented writer and musician. Here are his thoughts on the music scene and a pop star with twisted ideas on gender.

Hershey's faces backlash over putting trans woman on candy bar wrapper for International Women’s Day
This shit is hilarious to me. Young white girls wanted shit like this, so let them have it.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the latte-suckin' anorexic little Seven Sisters graduate who thought of this stupid shit presented it to the board.

Hahahahahha. They are gonna lose so much money!! Suck it Hershey, go woke go broke.
My great uncle Nate used to give us all a box of Hershey golden bars at Christmas. Since he died I’ve gotten one to remember him by- but no more.

I don't even eat much chocolate but I just ordered a $100.00 worth because that was great.

I enjoyed the Jeremy's ad, but I'm touchy about my chocolate. I only do milk chocolate (which they have) but milk chocolates from different sources are not the same. Hershey's is just on the edge of being too "chocolatety" for me, I actually prefer Nestle's or Cadbury's, but they're not as available where I am. I don't want to order a bunch of chocolate that I wouldn't like.

Speaking of insanity. Powerlifting seems particularly egregious
“ Transgender athlete wins discrimination case against USA Powerlifting”
It’s funny- I don’t know a single woman (real one that is) that agrees with this insanity. Not one. Any woman that did, I would have no compunctions with putting their anti-science, anti-nature asses in their place.
It’s no wonder the aliens don’t want to talk to us.

I hope that women athletes will come together and put an end to men in women's sports. I think they can do this by consistently forfeiting games/matches against men. I think it may be a bit of a slow boil situation where most women in sports let it slide until they are faced with it.
That brings up another topic about women's sports. Generally, women don't support women in sports. My wife has a bit of a liberal streak in her and when we discussed subsidizing women's sports, I asked her why she goes with me to men's sports when I ask but she never asks me to go to women's sporting events. She didn't have an answer why.
