Trevor Lawrence just had the most unathletic athletic game-winning play I’ve ever seen. Like a baby horse who fell and couldn’t get up, but then somehow did and galloped in for the apparent game-winning TD.

Incredible play. The receiver looked wide open and then Lloyd came out of nowhere. And then to take it all the way to the house? Man.

Whoa. That was a hell of a play by Devin Lloyd with a 99 yard pick six against Mahomes? Incredible play.

I think it’s a TD. Nose of the ball broke the plane right before they punched it out.

That should be a TD. #mnf

People know I don’t really follow the NFL, so this may already be explicit in the rules, but: if the Eagles and Bills lose on the same day, does Bluesky get shut down?

A government that extrajudicially kills foreigners abroad will also (try to) extrajudicially kill its own citizens at home.

I can’t believe these are words that I’m going to type out… but Kenneth Murray just made a great play there on 4th down. #Cowboys #itsamiracle

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

When a president sends troops into American cities to β€œrestore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

Put it this way - I’m sort of passively listening while doing some work and other stuff because I haven’t started to really absorb the lyrics (which finally just showed up on Spotify) yet, and I find that I’m doing a *lot* of unconscious head-bobbing.

My favorite TS album is 1989, so this is right up my alley. And I’m enjoying the little musical homages/nods to Fleetwood Mac, the Jackson 5, and even what sounds like a little Lenny Kravitz riff. It’s maybe not exactly what I expected, but I’m digging it.

I'm sort of passively listening while doing other work - and since the lyrics aren't up yet, and I really like to absorb her lyrics - but I'm doing a lot of unconscious head-nodding. Very poppy and catchy arrangements.

Uh, Reputation is an incredible album. It just didn't release the best songs as singles.

My college sophomore was upset last night (having to stay up on the east coast to listen), but this morning she's done a complete 180 and loves it. Personally, I thought it was a bop from the beginning. It's just different b/c we're not used to Happy Taylor.

I had some people in my life (actual people I knew from college and were at one point real life friends of mine) who I thought were actually good people who fell for this completely obvious lie. And when I called out what an obvious lie it was, they blocked me. I wonder what they think about it now.

That’s the most disappointing thing; the Dems watched Trump try and destroy the country for 4 years… and had no semblance of a plan for what to do if they regained the WH. It’s such a huge own goal. Whereas the Republicans spent 4 years preparing to become super villains.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it upβ€”because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Maybe my favorite lead single of hers? She’s gotten a lot better over her last few albums at picking the first single

A married couple living in Lincoln, Nebraska, aged 60 and earning $60,000 a year will have their ACA premiums go from $268 a month to $473 a month if the ACA subsidies are allowed to expire. A 76% increase.

All while everything else is getting more expensive too b/c of the tariffs.

It's not just "a lot like" Nazi propaganda. In some instances, it's almost word for word.

Pete Hegseth is so obsessed with war, he ended up bombing his own pep rally speech.
