Cape Verde had me on my feet, screaming for a pen.

*pokes head out from dark hole of not posting on social media* Virgil. Epic. *Returns to hole.*

Attack of the Clones isn't a good movie, but it's watchable. My wife still complains that we didn't walk out of Rise of Skywalker.

Trent looks so happy. Surely he can't go.

Trent thoughts: He did everything a player could to help win trophies, actually won trophies and fulfilled his contract. He's earned the right to go and do as he pleases. Wishing him success in the future, just not against Liverpool.

If you take everything Musk says with the context he grew up in apartheid South Africa, his words usually aren't surprising.

Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you: the dumbest match of FM I have ever played in almost a decade and a half playing this series. (Yes, I am South Shields, thankfully)

8 goals on 4.26 xG vs. 6 goals on.... 1.20 xG.

Seeing the Liverpool reactions in my timeline warms the heart. The old gang, finally reuniting on Bluesky.

If the Jets wanted to fire their GM, they should have just cut Aaron Rodgers.

I have ascended to the highest honor any person can hope for: "cat bed."

You know who is to "blame" for Haiti's independence? Napoleon. Had he not attempted to reinstate slavery, Haiti would have remained part of France. They were free. And then they were supposed to allow themselves to be stripped of rights and sent back to irons?

This woman was my doctor and it sickens me to see this story. Dr. T was a great physician. I sang her praises to anyone who'd ask. She deserved better than to lose her life due to negligence and her family deserves better than this.

I know what Rex Ryan's favorite ad is so far.

I'm like a half hour into it, but Super Bowls on the west coast are the superior experience. Been missing out all these years!

This is why "states right" is BS. Because the state governments don't want policy enforcement to stop at their borders. Anyone who knows about the fights over the Fugitive Slave Law in the 1850s understands that.

But what if all of our best athletes played Mozart?

Wait, someone would say Batman Forever over Tombstone?

This was always the likeliest outcome no matter what Jets fans hoped. There was no viable option on the roster. They managed to do worse without Wilson. Hope the wishcasting was worth it! www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Basically how I felt. To have any idea what was going on, you had to know the history. And if you know the history, how it's portrayed will just anger you. If you don't know the history, then nothing has weight, because nothing is explained well. So you just end up confused.

Just saw Napoleon. So bad. Sooo bad.

Some people just really want to say the N-word.

Think it's finally time to delete the app formerly known as Twitter.
