I stopped watching broadcast and cable news a few yrs ago. Some clips pop up on YouTube. Who is still watching that garbage? More than 30 seconds is too much.

Can we have some real worthwhile college football? Currently 5 blowout games where ranked teams are playing minor schools. The College Football playoff should have a point system for playing ranked opponents. You play a ranked school, you get a point. You win, you get 2. Top points - playoffs #CFP

Now you have to explain Trumpflation and the geopolitics of endless wars affecting gas prices, goods and services cost more, which has affected the Tooth Fairy, who has less to give.

Slapstick comedy has been “thought policed” out of existence. The Three Stooges, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett or the movie Airplane wouldn’t make it. youtu.be/i0GW0Vnr9Yc?...

These are the facts: Ted Cruz appeared on College Game day to a booing crowd and the #CruzCurse for the first half of #OHvsTX . James Talarico arrived by halftime and broke the curse for a #Longhorn win.

You don’t live in Texas. You are just an online troll. She was staying in a shelter and on the street. Brought to us by a community group. I am fighting for real people in real life. Speak to Seattle issues and leave the Texas issues to Texans.

"You want my position on trans people competing in women's sports? Which ones? Name them, specificially. If it's such a sweeping societal problem, you must have a list of trans athletes. Who exactly are we talking about, and what sports do they play?" Reject the framing. It's that easy.

I worry about the homeless 22 yr old trans woman with mental health and SUD issues with an abusive Catholic mother and we can’t find her placement in a treatment center because she is on Medicaid. I don’t give a fuck if you can play soccer. Republicans gutted Medicaid. People are losing healthcare.

Are you a trans athlete? His statement was “I oppose trans athletes playing in girls’ sports if it endangers safety or fairness.” Feel free to include where he stated that he wouldn’t support any trans person.

I would think you would rather live your life and not be a disingenuous political football. You would have more support from a Democratic Senator than you ever will with a Republican.

Name the trans athletes being thrown under the bus. Let’s give them our support.

As a voter in Texas, you would rather I vote for Ken Paxton who would rob, cheat, steal and outlaw women’s and gay rights because Talarico measured his support of less than 20 people in the entire country playing college sports?

Ordered an 8x10 rug. Received a 5x7 on the back of a flatbed. Baffling, the number of people that pulled, loaded and delivered it and couldn’t know the difference. Now they are sending a truck to deliver the correct one on Wednesday & sending a different truck for pickup of the return on Thursday.

Areas of San Antonio got hammered with hail overnight. Watching videos of people standing safely inside their nice, dry, garages, filming their cars getting pummeled in the driveway is a special kind of fascinating.

Have a good idea for the Crossfit people. Want a really good workout? I had a truckload of mulch dropped from Chipdrop. Have spent the last three days wheelbarrowing it around my garden, averaging over 1300 calories burned for 2 hours each day, 7700 steps and 3.5 miles. Time to relax.
