I feel the same in that I understood the desire for the outsider, at least in 2016. (Though for me, never ever.) But in 24 we knew who he was … reading an oral history of J6 right now and my empathy for the Trump supporters is definitely down a couple of notches. Horrifying.

It’s the truth of that time of the year for many of us β€” beautiful one day and πŸ’© the next (I’m in Wisconsin). I’m not a big winter DG guy so trying to be patient. Good luck with your recovery!

I get that every time … 24-48 hours of the chills and aches. Then it’s fine. Also, not getting covid ever.

… sidearms just turned over and dove straight into the ground at 100 feet. Understable or overstable discs, made no matter. No idea what I’m doing wrong. Struggled with them last year but these are currently unplayable. Anyone ever run into this?

Just got in my first #discgolf throws of the year at the nearby school, before it snows again tomorrow. BH, focused on just wrist snap from standstill and crushed (for me) my 5 speeds. 210-240 uphill. If I can produce that on the course late I’ll be thrilled. However …

I never renewed the membership after my first year … nothing against it but I need leagues more than tournaments. Most of my play is solo anyway.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Agree. I am guessing that people abroad mostly feel that American citizens are still good people who are strongly against this mess. We do protest and challenge but it can only do so much. But if we don’t criminals accountable in the end, the American Brand is fully, irreparably harmed.

Yes. There is a whole cottage industry in corporate life around β€œwhat do we think the VP’s email meant?”

And they should. A masterclass in turtling up and losing a very winnable game, which has become an alarming pattern.

Top division could have a β€œclosed shop” but is responsible for funding a lot of what is down the line. Do it with money games or increased playoff revenue. This also has potential for pro/rel but I’m not sure if that’s good or necessary.

One reason #CFB is such a mess is the desire to cling to legacy structures while also remaking things. Time to blow up conferences and divisions. Here’s one example, with limited research. It’s geographical and lets each division have a 16- or 24-team playoff. @slmandel.bsky.social

It’s the one disc I’ve found so far that I can crack 300 feet with β€” not any overcooked fade or turn and it will go.

Yes. And Musgrave needs to be at least functional as a threat, even if he doesn’t see the ball a lot. Sunday sure looked promising overall β€” Bears are a huge pain in the butt to play and the Packers managed it well.

He’s gotta get 10 targets + touches (runs) per game. Just a big play waiting to happen and they have to scheme him up even more.

It’s a fake participation trophy for a man who so desperately needs validation just for existing.

Will have to look at a basket in spring … I also need throwing practice to get better but that’s REALLY boring. I think I’ve got only so many throws left in the old body so I just play.

Love this thread … β€œworking on putting” is a grind for those trying to really be good. Throwing is fun! That said, I would like to get a basket in my yard to practice putting as I can. Would help me find a few strokes for sure. Which also is fun (& less taxing on body.)

Almost every hole had 5 or more pin positions, which was wild considering the tight space. But when it’s 72 and sunny pretty much every day, you just roll with it.

I played Riverside in West Bend Saturday and it was bonkers. Managed it fairly well for the most part but man … long throws are fine but putting/approach shots are a dice roll.

Today was insane. Felt like every other play. It still not a team playing anywhere near its potential.

Yup.

I saw the clip of that this morning, with the audio. I called it out too, from my couch, but I don’t study game film all week so was a bit lucky. Also, I’m on my couch. But still, just so obvious.

Amen to this. My only ace is on a straight 180-foot hole, and you can pry that accomplishment out of my cold, dead hands if you dare.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

Disc golf course No. 54: Grove City, PA, Memorial Park. +3/21 holes. Nice stretch of woods holes 10-16, otherwise unremarkable but a nice public park course. Only worth leaving the turnpike to check PA off the list of states. Did pick up 4 🐦 though, so no complaints! States: 16. #discgolf #travel

I saw an interview clip where Calloway said he and gos wife agreed on a 5-year plan and this was year 5. But yes, he cited the desire to be home for family @mpbx3003.bsky.social
