Me watching Millennials erroneously believe for the 173rd time that there is anything remotely peculiar about their experiences, and persisting in the myth that they are the main characters in unique era.
@DaddyWarpig
The irony is that Tolkien experienced the hell of WWI and came through it optimistic, hopeful, and believer in the heroism and nobility of the human spirit. Martin has lived a life of comfort and privilege and is a cynical nihilist. Polynikes monologue in Gates of Fire nailed it.

He wouldn’t offer and she wouldn’t accept.
I’d give my left arm for Condi to run for POTUS, but she isn’t interested. Paradoxically the first qualification of being fit for office is not wanting it. As the saying goes from Catch-22: “Only a madman would want to be president.”
@ChrisDJackson
He repeatedly used less than a minute of his two minute opportunities. How many times tonight did you hear, “Uh, President Biden you still have 82 seconds, would you expound on…”
The moderators were literally having to prompt him to do his job. 🤷🏼♂️

That’s on McVay. In order to prevent someone from reading his lips, he instead holds his clearly legible play sheet in front of his face? Peculiar risk mitigation strategy there.

In 2018 when UT upset OU, QB Sam Ehlinger approached KM to tell him “good game” and wish him well. KM refused to speak to Sam and walked away without a word, so Sam told him “Take the loss, p*$$y.” It appears he’s still struggling to show resilience in the face of adversity.
@Super70sSports
Under those, far superior rules. Possession with two feet down, or a knee, or in this case a back, it’s a catch. Dude was across the plane with possession of the ball in his hands. Easy call. Catch.
@monsterhunter45
This is my single greatest problem. The polls were faked to manipulate the public back in 2016 when they said Trump was losing, but now we can totally trust them now that they Trump has huge leads and a shot in the general. I smell a trap.

All travel ball does is maximize kids who are never gonna make it. Kids with the requisite athleticism to play high level college and pro sports will do so because of athletic traits that WILL reveal themselves with routine high school coaching. Travel ball doesn’t matter.

Bo Katan being moved by Din’s statement “This is the way” about her dad, and by his earnest recitation of the creed, and her seeing a Mythosaur from the fairy tales, was simply awesome. She’s been exposed to the Mandalorian Way long enough she takes it for granted. Din doesn’t.

Mistakes all around, but I find this teenage tendency fascinating: They want to be treated like adults, and carry themselves like adults, until their adult choices bring adult consequences and suddenly it’s, “We’re CHILDREN!!!” Almost seems disingenuous, doesn’t it?
@On3sports
The red flags with Deion started with his first meeting with the players being filmed and posted to social media that day. Deion the coach would’ve hated Deion the player. He’s perhaps more talented than any play I’ve ever seen, but his work ethic and locker character? 😬

Yep. If someone is approaching behind you, get over to the right. I don’t care if you’re going 90 mph in the left lane in a 75 mph zone, if someone comes up behind you going 100 mph, yo should be getting over before they have to touch their brakes. This is the way.

Iron Will resonates with people because he is the best in all of us. Joy, kindness, curiosity, toughness, resolve, wonder and most importantly, love. He’s a living, breathing reminder of what our best possible selves could be.

Based on what I’ve seen on Twitter, that’s not an unpopular opinion at all. Just like the John Wick series, a romance would be a weird fit. I think Din and Bo Katan will become close comrades, with her teaching him about Mandalore, and him inspiring a renewal of her faith.

There’s an easy way. RUS can remove its forces from UKR, a sovereign nation it invaded unprovoked. If they refuse, Plan B is to defeat RUS forces and drive them out of UKR. Asking Ukraine to negotiate any settlement that cedes a single inch of their territory is unjust.

So one SEAL stood accused of war crimes. His accusers *were* his SEAL teammates. The accused SEAL is upset that Dan Crenshaw didn’t take his side. What if Crenshaw found the allegations of the other SEALs to be more credible? This isn’t the black and white issue people make it.

I was a teen in the ‘90s and I was watching plenty of movies from the ‘70s, which was the same time interval: Jaws, Star Wars, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, etc.
I think the biggest difference is most parents no longer take the time to watch great movies with their kids.

Because he was the best player in baseball in 1998 but nobody cared, and all the attention and accolades were going to PED users like Sosa and McGwire. So he said, “Oh ok. That’s how it is? Then watch this.” You or anybody else would’ve made the same decision in his shoes. 🤷🏼♂️

After a 20 yr career in Special Forces, people are surprised that, in addition to my “real” work, I fill my free time substitute teaching. These kids have enormous potential, but need mentorship and to have expectations for them raised. It pays the least and I enjoy it the most.

I’ve got 4 kids, ages 4 to 19, and parent more intentionally than most. I can tell most of the folks commenting either don’t have kids or have some soft, coddled kids that are gonna be riddled with allergies and anxiety. Precisely what are people terrified of happening here?

That Josh Hamilton stat is wild. The most naturally talented baseball player I’ve ever seen. Would’ve been something to see him play 20 years focused and healthy.
@barstoolsports
That’s a 360° dunk. Still super impressive, but math is thankfully one of the few things still universally undebatable in our society. He begins facing away from the backboard, rotates one complete turn, and reverse dunks it. Great dunk, but still a 360°.
There are 365 other days this year that aren’t the day of the holiest celebration of Christianity where President Biden could recognize trans visibility. That he chose tomorrow of all days feels… peculiar.
Everyone: Biden should really reach out to disaffected Republicans and center right conservatives who are uncomfortable with Trump.
Biden: Easter is now Transgender Day of Visibility. Best I can do.

@monsterhunter45
Yeah, people struggle with nuance, but two things can be true: 1.) There are better options than Trump to become president, and… 2.) The unprecedented measures opponents have used to thwart Trump come with potentially catastrophic 2nd and 3rd order effects.
@SimcoxStephen
If that’s not a typo, this dude isn’t gonna live to see 30 years old. Surely a real S&C program slimmed him down to 355 from 385 in high school. If he’s actually gone from 385-455 in the last year, that is awful for his health and football prospects.

It’s unfathomable to many people that at the end of our lives, having acted rightly and sided with right and truth will prove to have been more important than short-term victories. As a bonus, siding with right and truth will also typically lead to more sustainable success, too.

That’s an answer that will endear him to many. He’s right. Dirk was never given many minutes in ASGs in his prime, and was never fed the ball until his swan-song ASG during his 21st season. Outside Duncan and Kobe, Dirk didn’t get enough respect from his fellow all-stars.

@Super70sSports
@WWMcClyde
Yep. “Possession” meant you control the ball with your hands. Once you had possession and two feet down, one knee, or you broke the plane of the goal line, it was instantly a catch, and that “survive the ground” and “football move” crap didn’t exist.
@NILisTrash
Funny enough, the OL coach that produced those A&M draft picks, and the UT OL coaches that failed to recruit and develop draft picks are also gone. Jersey colors don’t develop NFL draft picks. Coaches do. Sounds like this prospect is betting on Kyle Flood over whomever is at A&M.
This is a case study in identifying problems before they manifest and having predetermined a course of action in the event “X” happens. By paying attention we can drastically close the gap between action and reaction.

Barry Bonds, no question. Sure he was on PEDs, but so were the pitchers he was facing, and the hitters he was competing against. LOTs of dudes used PEDs, almost certainly including your favorite player of the ‘90s/‘00s, but none of them did what Bonds did.
@ahsokasgoggles

People act like dropping bombs is cowardly or something, when in reality this is the alternative. It’s easy to say “Stop the bombing!” when you’re not the one who has to do this on a Tuesday morning. The less bombs dropped, the more that dudes have to do this, and vice versa.

Tell me you didn’t watch ‘80s and ‘90s ball without telling me you didn’t watch ‘80s and ‘90s ball. That style was much tougher on a players body. The game required players to be in constant motion to either be setting or running through screens that would be Flagrant 2s today.

LOTS of guys, hitters and pitchers both, did steroids in the ‘90s, but only BB was able to do what he did. The idea that BB isn’t one of the 5 best offensive players of all time with or without PEDs is laughable. Dude was a HoFer before he started juicing.
