Bear Down!!! From the Midwest, love the Bears, Dodgers, Iowa Hawkeyes, my family, friends and my dog. Being Good beats acting ‘great’ every time.

unfortunate that in this moment our Defense Secretary is a fanatically-angry juvenile delinquent

no maturity, no self-control, no judgment

This is literally a line the bad guys say from Tupac's "Changes" (which is a riff off a line the bad guys say from Bruce Hornsby's "The Way it is")

Great move! I’m sure Norwalk residents who have power outages will appreciate it, along with whatever happens to their water supply!

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

HALF | Iowa 33, Wisconsin 29

Heiden leads Iowa with 12 points and 8 rebounds.

Destiney Howell leads Wisconsin and all players with 17.

The Hawkeyes have allowed 9 offensive rebounds and 7 second chance points. The Badgers have 6 more FG attempts. That's why its close.

On the ledge of a palm tree sits a red-tailed hawk hunched over.  He pulls at a rodent he caught. Behind the hawks tail, a gray and white mockingbird hovers in mid-flight with feet pointing at the hawk.

A red-tailed hawk eats a rodent while a Northern mockingbird gets territorial. Happy 💙 #SkySunday! There is a #BlueSky in the background. 😉

First half could have been worse. Have a sense Hawks will pull away in second half, maybe?

I read this when I was a teenager right after it was published and it radicalized me in a good way. Also helped me later on when I umpired Babe Ruth baseball and officiate AAU basketball, to recognize the role of toxic masculinity in the biggest asshole coaches and Dads i dealt with

No Hannah Stuelke for Iowa today in the finale against Wisconsin. She was injured early in Thursday’s win over Illinois but returned to the game.

She is considered day-to-day.

Just a little reminder that post policing sucks. No one is the arbiter of what is and is not okay to post or discuss, no matter what is happening in the world.

People are allowed deal with the horrors in their own way, in their own time, without being shamed.

Another important point: This is a war crime regardless of who did the development of this as a target &/or carried out the strike. They're non-combatants, they're also prisoners albeit under house arrest. They're opposition leaders, not leaders w/in the government. 1/

Interestingly, in antebellum Georgia, pro-slavery hardliners were getting upset at how many enslaved people were getting manumitted in people’s wills, so they changed the law to make every individual manumission require a separate act of the state legislature.

Fairly certain all of the ‘THIS IS WHAT DEMS NEED TO DO’ strategists are just screaming into space if they don’t confront this Goebbels dynamic of the broligarchs and their algorithmic firehoses of propaganda empowering fascism

Honestly your unhinged psychopathy is why I don’t ever have to go to X again for sports ball. I get just enough of it here with you to get by (and also from me during Bears games).

Who knows. During the opening first day and then week of OIF in March 2003, there were multiple reports of Saddam Hussein being killed in the first US air strikes (‘target of opportunity’). He wouldn’t be captured until Dec ‘03 (‘spider hole’), in Tikrit.

It's been suggested to me that a lot of lives could be saved if he just bombed the servers on which the Epstein files are stored.
