If you follow football at all the FIFA peace prize thing is hilarious and absolutely typical of them.

It was nice when Sesame Street added Julia, but it's nonsense to claim she was their first autistic character. You've got a guy who collects paperclips and another who has to count everything

Mike Johnson has to be in the files too. No other excuse for what he is doing to the Congress right now. Release the Epstein Files.

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina.

This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

Hey #NFL, I’m not watching Dallas. They are not America’s team. So my TV is off for a few hours. Give people a choice of What game they want if you want ad money.

No kings protestors.

Let’s not forget to release the Epstein Files.

The #NHL refs did the #sabres dirty on that second β€œgoal”. Ottawa did not score and if they did how come we now have a goaltender interference penalty. The job of the goalie is to interfere with people scoring. If they actually got the goal then he didn’t interfere. Total BS.

The Bills made me sad this week. I hope the bye weeks helps right the ship.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving and Indigenous People Day in the US. If you call it the evil explorers day I’m gonna look at you sideways.

It’s exhausting scrolling social these days. Hang tough everyone. It is good to see I’m not alone.

He wanted this more than we did. But more importantly, next week everyone needs to be back in normal lucky shirts. Blizzard white was a bad idea.

I’ve actually had a great weekend. Spent time with people I love. Focused on the future. Everyone stressed but we are holding one another up. And the Bills won. Tomorrow back to work.

Just a reminder before the β€œbig announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Got my Covid shot today. Made the appointment last night. Wasn’t sure what insanity 45 would roll out today. If it’s really against Tylenol, as FB seems to think, I hope it’s manufacturer sues him for libel.

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the nation’s first bill banning officers from wearing masks. Now let’s work to bring this change nationwide, reach out to your governors and help unmask ICE!

I feel like every Bills fan watching yelled they’re in New Jersey, when Al Michaels said β€œwelcome to New York”.

Good options:

*BBC News / BBC World Service
*Deutsche Welle (DW News)
*France 24
*Al Jazeera
*The Associated Press (although U.S.-based...it operates globally and is widely regarded as a fact/reporting wire service more than opinion.)
*Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty
*CBC News (Canada)

Ugly wins still count. But #BuffaloBills need to do better. Looking for the defense. The fish defeated themselves.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

When a 57-year old lady watching football in her living rooms knows it’s gonna be a run play, how can the people actually paid to plan these games not know how obvious they are being?

This is a major theme in revolutionary texts, but it’s also literally right in front of our faces

standards of decorum are only applied to the people who are harmed by the status quo and want to change it

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeβ€˜s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Millions of people have been convicted and found guilty by a jury of their peers on far less evidence.

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

Rooting for the #BuffaloBills is a cardiac workout. but I am proud that they never give up.
