As a centrist, I merely believe that pretty much everybody in the Trump administration should serve a very long prison sentence

Is it because half the plays are trying to be 2-line passes... like we're over kicking our coverage. It's not a structured unit right now. #stlblues

The same thing happened last year with passes. Somehow the #stlblues are a terrible passing team right now.

Ugh. Mailloux has been in between on two goals as well, ugh. Decisions with confidence are missing.

I have a pretty low opinion of Democrats’ political abilities but if they literally just air this as an ad for thirteen months they’re gonna crush Republicans like a grape in the midterms

At the pharmacy to get my COVID vaccine. Get called in & the P3 Pharm student administering my shot says, "Hi Dan. Remember me?" She was one of my online students at Drake Univ. in the fall of '20 during the pandemic, and now here she was giving me the vaccine. We had a great chat. What a world.

A woman in what looks like business attire with a black handbag over her shoulder stands in front of an armed vehicle flipping the bird with both hands. Unfortunately a friend sent this to me, I don’t know who the hero woman is or the photographer

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I don’t know whether Brewers fans or Mariners fans had less fun with the LCS, but that sure was the two ends of the baseball pain spectrum.

"No Kings" illustrates the uncomfortable truth about US politics: That the > 50% of white US people that want to turn the US into a white ethnostate (their words) is a lot of people.

Amazon's big server might be down but that doesn't mean I can't post my charts showing how fundamentally bonkers their energy consumption and associated emissions are :)

Fun fact: 2 years ago they stopped sharing their total electrical energy consumption, cool!!!
