- [Phil Rowe] @KChimaev is a great fighter. But there’s nothing scary about his game. He’s very efficient at winning MMA bouts. BUT he’s immediately shooting on me off the bell. He won’t pass my guard. Eventually I’ll get to my feet …then 💤😴. https://twitter.com/phillyfreshmma/status/1607838670152929281?s=46&t=52nqI-5kSZrYPIsD5FTJdA 227 comments mma

If he miss, I'mma start shooting https://streamable.com/5s45kk 91 comments nba
- Ohio 2004, first-person account from Mormon volunteer flown in to help get Bush re-elected: "In the end, 50% of the poll observers were LDS [Mormon]." Bush won Ohio and Prop 8 passed in California in large part due to Mormon organizational zeal. There's a reason Romney still thinks he can win. http://www.ldsmag.com/article/1/4284 43 comments politics
