HBD to one of the goat Americans.

Economically, this moment is like when you reach the top of the rollercoaster. Just enough pause that you can see what’s coming, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Empty shelves, job losses, higher prices, all coming soon bc this admin doesn’t understand the basics of trade.

Bump

Rev Barber is a hero who doesn’t get enough recognition. Very clear in all of his ways that he doesn’t care about race, politics, etc. just that he is fighting for poor and oppressed people. Apparently that is more than enough to trigger this admin.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

Exceptionally glad Alijah Arenas is alert and recovering. The people that rescued him, first responders, doctors all are absolute heroes. But now that they are pretty sure he will be ok I feel a bit better about saying this.. You could not pay me to ever get in a cybertruck.

Happy Perfect Date to all who observe. Grab that light jacket and go have some fun.

*Panthers give up the most points in NFL history* “take a receiver”

This is so crazy, my 6 month old got some vaccines yesterday and today he completed 8 rubiks cubes in less than a minute.

Is Pete Crow-Armstrong the greatest baseball player of all time? Many are beginning to say this.

My 4x great grandparents in the 1840s:

I’m no longer Catholic but genuinely sad to hear of Pope Francis passing. One of few world leaders to preach compassion, resist oppression, and fight for people on the margins. The world needs more people like him in high and visible positions.

Not me sitting here watching OT in a play-in game to decide who gets to lose 4-1 to the Cavs next week.

Currently watching: one of the greatest films ever made

Yeeeeessssss

Among the (many) costs of our entire national news media being populated by the same incestuous group of ivy grads: this whole "Trump is the true voice of the herrenvolk" attitude they take is a direct result of none of them having ever met a real person before.

I’m gonna say something bold here, which is that if you don’t have a criminal record you shouldn’t be imprisonsd and also if you are put in prison without a guilty verdict or any due process it is kidnapping and torture, not imprisonment.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Ah yes another normal day of living in a country where the president is hosting the leader of his concentration camps. And nobody is treating it as such.

every millennial man you know is currently hyperventilating

The commentary on 11 is baffling. “Bryson had to go for it, he had to make a move.” No he did not! He’s been missing left with his mid irons all week! Play conservative make a par and try to make up strokes on the par 5s

The Bryson v Rory narrative is fun but I am putting a few bucks on Conners at +1800. He’s not out of it, is a great golfer, and can fly under the radar long enough if both guys screw up.

BU anytime the puck goes near the WM goalie

I know nothing about college hockey but after watching this first period I’m all in on this Western Michigan team. Fun style. Also BU dudes are taking cheap shots after every whistle and generally look like they are dicks.

I know Andy Fletcher is a known Bad Ump™️ but even for him he’s going to have a wild Ump Scorecard after this Tigers-Twins game.

Every Reddit AITA is like “My 12 year old called me a bitch so I cancelled his birthday party and grounded him for a year” and all the comments are like “NTA, he can’t treat you that way.” Instead of just like, telling the person to be a normal parent.

You: Watching The Masters main broadcast. Me: Watching my boy Bob MacIntyre shot-by-shot in The Masters app to see if he makes the cut. We are not the same.

Post a movie from the year you turned 18.

Big day for the “bond traders are the people that really run financial markets” crowd

I love that we’re just gonna ignore that the president tweeted this morning “now is a good time to buy stocks” and then a couple hours later made an announcement that made stocks go up 7%.

Random observation - the President of the United States *is the exogenous shock.

Baseball has to have the weakest criteria for ejection of any sport. Football, soccer, hockey, basketball you’ve gotta be like actively trying to injure someone. Baseball - arguing with the ump or throwing a bat or helmet. See ya!

Obligatory Fuck Zack Hample

After Todd Golden gave a private message to his team in the locker room Florida came back and won in the second half. Google “Todd Golden private messages college students” for more

The people who are just now flipping on Trump bc of their 401ks are so funny to me. Cant be bothered to care about fair elections, human rights, due process, the rule of law, but my retirement savings going down 20% is where I draw the line!

Measles has the opportunity to do the funniest thing of all time

Not always or even usually the case that one of the best games you watch all year happens in the final four, but this game is delivering.

AUBURN-FLORIDA IS EXTREMELY GOOD IMMEDIATELY

Eric Collins calling a Shohei Ohtani monster HR. Especially a walk-off. I need this.

Kimchi is probably the best hot dog topping out there. It’s sauerkraut but 100x better.

You: sad, despondent, crying that your 401k is down 15%. Think you’re never going to retire. Me: joyous, celebratory, buying more and more stocks at 15% off. Moving my retirement date up years.

Realized today that my family buys more stuff from Amazon than they buy from us, so as of today I will be instituting a 50% tariff on all Amazon products shipped to my house and Amazon will have to pay it without raising prices. See how stupid that sounds?

Take that random PTO day off, friend. 5 days a week CONSISTENTLY is crazy. Sit in your house, walk in the park, take yourself on a date. Prioritize your mental health!

The penguins have learned their lesson. by Susan Collins

Wow stocks are 12% off compared to 6 weeks ago. Gonna go on a shopping spree!
