Marlins Man or Kevin McCallister’s Dad?

people in a lot of states are about to lose their SNAP benefits. If you are in a position to help with food aid, please do. Donate to a local food pantry, reach out to people you know who are food insecure and share meals, whatever you can do!

Autism parent here.

Nothing like your health savings account running out after 5 months and 2,500 in therapy sessions deductibles remaining anyway

Conservative, Trump supporting Christians trying to reconcile cutting SNAP to poor children with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

1. Autism isn’t a tragedy

2. Autism being largely genetic isn’t a sign of β€œde-evolution” and it’s dehumanizing to autistic people to suggest it is.

It’s insane. It was Miami’s worst OL grade in 14 games, tooβ€” and they were still 55 points ahead of Florida

Good morning to everyone except the people who think Tylenol or vaccines cause autism.

So I guess it’s back to when Grealish was at Aston Villa. The opponent can do anything to him outside of actually murdering him in a football match and not get a player sent off…

Looks like Kash Patel paid off the refs in Liverpool-Everton.

Multiple tackles on Grealish violated the Geneva Convention.

Same old nonsense.

Empaths who are too overwhelmed and burnt out from the constant onslaught of horribleness to speak, and feel so guilty bc the societal mandate to β€œspeak up” about every single horror is constant & nothing you say or do will ever feel like enough: I am with you. I love you. You are doing enough.

Same! They had a military flag ceremony here too (Raleigh)

Flying on 9/11 today for the first time since 9/11.

Hard to believe it’s been 24 years.

Naturally Everton will be docked 7 points for this

Again, a reminder that the law of the United States creates and names executive departments, not the president at any given time.

"The Department of Defense is an executive department of the United States." 10 U.S.C Β§ 111

Disgusting. But from a group that adores a president who insulted Gold Star families, what else is new?

Truly one of the best and most impactful pieces of journalism I’ve ever read.

Has stuck with me for years.

Great day to start this Civil War podcast series on the Atlanta campaign.

Manchester City the club I’ve spent most of my life supporting is becoming increasingly unlikable. Trafford is one our own. Signing Donnarumma is a betrayal. Full stop.
maybe this is why when MCFC was training down the street from me this summer I didn’t even bother to show up. I’m so over them.

01.09.2025 17:48 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 2

for those who don’t know, I wrote an e-book in 2014 about my long-term fandom of the club. But as the club became bigger and quite frankly more foreign, (I know I’m not English, but I am an anglophile). It became much more difficult to relate to them. Now it’s impossible..

The other point on this would be I’ve felt closer and closer to Everton the last few years. It’s the Howard Kendall/Peter Reid Legacy. There was so much shared history between City and Everton. So I naturally had a rooting interest in Everton also. And so that happened to me also.

Everton making me feel Hope.

Not something I’m used to.

Urban giving me Tom Hagen vibes in that burgundy suit.

Except Hagen was the conscious of the Corleone family

Boosting this to get it to my followers.

You need to do this now, before these boosters and vaccines are unavailable.

We live in a country where many conservatives are more triggered by rainbows on sidewalks than our children being repeatedly slaughtered in schools.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a strong believer in southern cuisine as a 6th generation North Carolinian and 5th generation Floridian. But goodness that’s a salty ham πŸ˜‚

The real Cracker Barrel crisis is the amount of salt they put in their ham.
