Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

My 11 yr old wanted her first official Stars jersey for Christmas and she requested Seguin because he is her favorite player. She is going to be so sad. I want him to make it back, but I am more concerned about quality of life after hockey with all these injuries

That's great. I will have to add that to my class. When I teach about juries in my government class I tell the story of being in the same voir dire jury pool with George W. Bush. Of course, he wasn't selected. πŸ˜‚

My hot take: While Rise of Skywalker was a horrible movie it holds a special place in my heart because it was the only SW movie I was able to enjoy in the theater with both my kids on release day.

I am actually at a local community theater seeing a production of 1776 for the very first time.

glad to see this reaction. I had your list of forwards to cheer for and didn't see him listed and didn't know what to think. πŸ˜‚

As I finally get to read @tiffin.bsky.social piece about Duchene/Tavares the news breaks about Duchene’s extension. Guess Stars are definitely going to have to trade/buy out now.

Loved that movie. Fun story. Took my 10 yr old. It was the first movie from a book that she absolutely loved. She left hating the movie and complained about all the changes they made and how it differed from the book.

And they need Marchment and Benn to not take any stupid penalties

It was epic greatness. I’ve been able to take my kids to some epic Stars playoff games this season and it’s been the best.

It worked for Team USA and the knuckle puck. Let’s give it a try

They really don’t have to. It would be better for my blood pressure if they didn’t. 😁

Someone sent out a TEAMS wide email and now I have 155 emails saying "please remove me" and "why am I on on this list"

People who use reply all should be forced to go through a very tortuous HR training to never use reply all

Not how I wanted that game to go but a first round playoff series is going to be stressful.

Tonight starts our journey of high school soccer. Our freshman is starting her first ever JV game. So proud of her.

It’s probably because I started in high school where you have them everyday and a whole year

How do you get through it all? I always find myself getting stuck in the weeds of the gilded age or progressive era and it throughs me off
