To me it always looked like they put Trump's hair on Roger Ebert.

Is the gaffe that she quit a super lucrative national tv job to make YouTube videos that get 300 views?

When this ICE shit started, a mutual I’d never met asked how to help. I sent him to a friend’s kid’s preschool that was struggling to find patrollers. He’s been there almost daily, even in brutal cold, at a school where he didn’t know anyone, to keep folks safe. We finally met and got beers tonight.

I thought this was a joke about how poorly Brady Tkachuk handled the last few days but no this is actually just a fully accurate description of what he just did in a hockey game that’s happening right now

He seems to make top rope related mistakes a few times a year.

There was a missed opportunity not to have a live mic on Randy Orton watching that Danhausen debut.

You could see what the game was when they offered to pull ICE off the streets in exchange for the voter rolls.

This will go to court immediately and they will lose. This is an exercise in using the optics of power to instill panic.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as β€œpulled a Target.”

Question: But what would you like for us to take away from that? What would you like for the reader to know more intimately about you and how those two separate lives that you had together and the tough decisions you made and the risk that you had to take and even growing up with dyslexia and all that-like what do you want us to take from that and where you are today?
Answer: Well, the way we're doing, some of you may have seen some of my social media. I'm on the other side. I don't want to dream of regretting anymore. No could have, would have, should have. It's all out there. I just wanted to put it all out there. I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better than you. I'm a 960 SAT guy.
And I'm not trying to offend anyone, trying to act all there if you got 940, but literally a 960 SAT guy. I cannot-you've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech. Maybe the wrong business to be in. My dyslexia-l haven't overcome dyslexia. I'm living with it. I was the guy in the back of the classroom and my head down just praying the teacher didn't call on me. I think I lost count of how many schools I had to go to.

And I'll never ever forget my mom's choice was never to label me. She just had to struggle with me. And I walked in-I'll never forget this. It was probably eighth or ninth grade. Walking home, got home early. My mom was always working. So I'm cooking, literally lived on Stuffer's lasagna, macaroni and cheese. I got finished two pots of macaroni and cheese and got bored and I went upstairs and there was a file cabinet open and it said "Gavin." In fact, she had a weird name,
"Gavinsky." That's like my nickname. And I open it up and it was all of these reports from the doctors and I never realized I was going after school three days a week. I didn't know what for.
And it was all around. It was the lisp and the reading-the b's and the r's were backwards, spelling which "w i"β€”the whole-and I'm like,
"What is this?" And that's when I learned I had quote-unquote dyslexia. My mom was furious because she didn't want that to limit me. She didn't want that to be an excuse.
But it was freeing because I never understood why it was so easy for my sister and why I was struggling. But I also neverβ€”and this is a long-winded pointβ€”I also never knew how much she was struggling trying to raise me. And you talk

about that children's book. I wrote a children's book for kids with dyslexia because I was reading every night to my kids picture books and I realized that two of themβ€”I have dyslexia-and I don't know what was worse for them or for me.
And I immediately thought of my mom and I never ever saw her struggles through that lens.
And so I wrote a book and by the way, this book-it's an ode to my mom. It's a composite of my mom. There's a letter on the back of the book to my mom. The school, the number of the school-the door is the day of her death. And it's really a composite love letter for all that she did to get me through this. And so I'm here because of that grit.
I'm here because of that resilience. And I imagine it's a story for many of you that we share. And I'm also here because of dyslexia. What a gift. What a gift it is to not have to read a script, but to be able to read a room.
