(YouTube)Any child of the 1980s knows that Toys R Us could be scary at the best of times. Row upon row of squished-up Cabbage Patch Kids faces. Talking Teddy Ruxpins with their backs made of machinery. The looming figure of creepy store mascot, Geoffrey the Giraffe. But one Toys R Us in Northern California had an extra-sinister reputation.

Morgan Engel/NCAA Photos via Getty Images)As a human who doesn’t know how to get out of an armchair without grunting, I, for one, would love to see gymnasts utilizing their awe-inspiring skills in everyday life. Handspringing onto BART? Here for it. Cartwheeling through Trader Joe’s on a Wednesday afternoon? Would love to see it.

The happy couple are Lenora and John — let’s call them Jonora! — and they opted to board at MacArthur Station in Oakland. The bride wore a backless purple gown and black sneakers. The groom did an Irish jig. The wedding party sang Too Short’s “Blow the Whistle” while boarding the train. The car’s handrails were decked out with green and purple garlands. Then the couple tied the knot in front of anyone who happened to be there. Why BART, you ask? Because it’s where the couple first met.

For years, Twitter was useful for news, trends & connecting to other journalists. Since becoming X, it has ceased to be helpful on any level. More importantly, the motivations of its owner make it impossible to stay without feeling complicit. I'm out.👋 Sorry it took me so long.
It's almost Valentine's Day, everyone! Because this holiday is designed to make single people feed bad about their lives, I'm trying to restore the balance with this: the stories of some San Francisco couples who caused each other's deaths. Yay! 💘 https://t.co/t5bmPiP7qf
I am finally watching 'The Substance' and, holy shit, it's TERRIBLE. The woman that made this movie hates women and she wants you to hate women too. Fuck off with your awards.
