Najar was born on a dirt floor in Honduras; a flood wiped out his village, a fire killed his cousins, he began working in sixth grade, and he arrived in the U.S. at 13, undocumented and alone to join family in D.C., where he was discovered playing after school. www.washingtonian.com/2011/04/04/d...

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

It was really cool to see all the fireworks around us for like five minutes until the jackasses down the street from us decided to start firing their guns in the air nonstop for no reason. Guns are not fireworks. Those bullets do go somewhere.

I've never acted like I'm some high-class individual, and it's because of this that I don't feel any shame in having beer brats and a Mountain Dew for breakfast at 9 a.m. on a Tuesday.

I wish department stores would pay more than a modicum of lip service to overweight men. Every fat guy I know shops at the same chain, and even places that claim decent Big and Tall sections still drop the ball on something as simple as belts, rendering them kinda worthless.

It’s SO diminished, man.

It was finally chilly enough to break out my Chilean Everton beanie. Vamos Los Ruleteros!

Today is the anniversary of the best photo I ever took when I worked for Lamar. I got to see a kid find out about Santa in real time in Beaumont, Texas.

We just shared an elevator with Noah Kahan after the Kacey Musgraves show. My wife is vey excited about this development.

Massive away win for the little fella.

Snow place like home.

Julie Andrews had Poppins - her FIRST movie role, drop in 64, and came right back with Sound of Music in 65. That's a helluva 1-2 punch.

We don't need more remakes of old movies. We need more MUPPETS remakes of old movies.

I’m once again being asked to care about Hunter Biden against my will.

Honestly, the most galling part of this is that let's take the IDF's assertion that the staff member is a terrorist at face value, which is being awfully generous to them; how does that justify intentionally killing four other charity workers?

I know it's too much to ask conservatives to understand stats. Still, it's astounding to me that they've made a story out of someone with fewer than a thousand kills and a .233 career hitting percentage having some massive advantage for an otherwise unremarkable mid-major volleyball team.

I think Sean Dyche has done a commendable and laudatory job in guiding Everton through an impossible situation. He deserves to be remembered for the work he did. Honestly. It’s time to move on.

Indiana: 66 points Purdue: 67 yards

It is now the fourth quarter in Bloomington. Indiana has 45 points. Purdue has 48 yards. #NeverDaunted

When are we getting a full Marvel sellout for Jardiance of the Galaxy?

Hey, it is what it is, Ohio State went for a touchdown instead of a kneel down in the win over Indiana last week. QB Will Howard mimed stomping out a cigarette. It borders on absurd to turn around and pearl clutch about Michigan talking shit exactly one week later. Kopite behavior, that.

Everyone has been joking about “quality losses” this football season, but how many in that top 25 have actually made it this far without losing to a team they’re “supposed” to beat? Four or five, maybe? And one of those teams is Indiana. *knock on wood*

We’re at a coffee shop in Brentwood and some dude just sent back his breakfast sandwich because the cheese wasn’t melted enough.

Paddington 2 seems like an appropriate night-before-Thanksgiving watch. I don’t know that I’ve adored many movie characters more than Hugh Grant’s Phoenix Buchanan.

I find it a little surprising that Nashville isn't on this list.

Just got Tyler Childers tickets for GEODIS next fall. I might be more than a little annoyed that ADA tickets were twice the cost of some other seats, but next year we already have Gary Clark Jr., Z.Z. Ward and Childers on the docket. Not too bad, that.

Always fun to get scheduled in Evansville. Even broke out a throwback hoodie for this round.

I was gonna say right wingers should be charged money to be on here as a deterrent but then i remembered they enjoy paying for websites that normal people use for free

Christian Pulisic was eligible for the EU passport that kick-started his career through his immigrant grandfather. Both Ricardo Pepi and Timothy Weah are sons of immigrants, and we’re really watching one of them hit a dance to celebrate a guy who’d like to deport their families?

UNIVERSITY OF EVANSVILLE PURPLE ACES.

Netflix needs to stop asking if I’m still watching and start asking if I moved the laundry to the dryer

Live shot of Jeff Mitchell outside Bryant Haines’ house in Bloomington. #ChirpChirp

This is part of the reason why I don't really care anymore. The 17-year-olds who didn't experience it telling me how great Klinsmann was is one of my favorite genres.

There is zero USMNT juice anymore. I’ve got theories as to why — players on the team being somewhat inaccessible, discourse around the team being awful & toxic, etc. — but I’m curious what everyone else thinks.

Random Boy in Gold No. 1

I don’t know how this whole Bluesky thing is going to shake out yet, so while I try to figure that out, here’s your boy getting absolutely soaked by a sprinkler at a U.S. national team match in Nashville.
