Not sure if this graphic of @mcuban.bsky.social interaction with a former employee is true or not - but rarely in life do we get the chance to confirm a life changing decision quite as thoroughly as this. #lifechangingdecision #Mavericks

The "and find out" part of this cycle is still only about 2 months old. There's at least another 21-22 months to go. We're all F'd - but they're going to feel it worst/first.

I think the best we can say about this situation is that it's going to get much worse before there's any chance of it getting better

So sharing the story of a person who's right to play had to be agreed upon, who died b/c the players on the opposite team LITERALLY trampled him - that story is absolutely worth telling. It's not a DEI story, it's a story of inspiration we can all learn from.

If you don't think life in Ames is different for black people, then you're not black. Or like me, gone to the bar with your black roommate and noticed that people stare at you/us differently than they do when you're out with your white friends. Life isn't easier when you're a black in a white world

I think you're missing the point. If they won't pay for preventive care, what makes you think they'll pay for any of the other things (like ER visits)?

Canada, we are so sorry. This is completely our fault. Maybe we can patch things up some day. We still love your moose and thanks for hockey. You have our number. Call sometime when things settle down.

So many people are now in the "find out" phase of their life.

Would anyone be surprised if the DJT team forwarded on their personal information to clandestine characters - home address, cell numbers, family member's info. I know I wouldn't be.

The playoffs are table stakes. Playoff wins are what determines "a good season".

Was the economy really good in Trump's first term? If you watched/listened to the mainstream media, you would think it was a great economy & Trump media surrogates went out of their way to promote even mediocre economic news as amazing & were rarely challenged by the media.

Facts say otherwise 1/9

So drill baby drill will... lower the cost of oil & gas and further reduce the number of rigs?
