Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.

Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

Sixers' Star Pursuit at the NBA Trade Deadline Shows They're Still Stuck in the Past The Sixers reportedly wanted to go

Re-Grading Top 2026 NBA Trade Deadline Deals 1 Month Later Believe it or not, an entire month has passed since the 2026 NBA trade deadline. Is that enough to change our initial impressions on the biggest moves?

@danfavale.bsky.social took an absolute blowtorch to the Sixers when re-grading the Jared McCain trade.

Bravo, good sir.

He Was a Critic of the N.B.A. Players’ Union. Now He’s Leading It.
