@GTGolf @PGATOURU Would love to see some kind of testimonial dinner for Coach. I would definitely want to go!

A special tribute for a legendary coach. Thank you, @PGATOURU! #StingEm 🐝

@SlangsOnSports How long until Will Ferrell shows up at an @astros game? @mjgal

Important stat: first no-hitter in MLB history to include a Santa Claus belt

@thevivafrei That's beyond "rehabilitation". That's platforming an awful, awful person. That prison warden should be replaced.

This is wild. The story of Diego Pillco. He is an illegal alien who murdered actress and writer in 2006. He was convicted of manslaughter (don’t know how only manslaughter), and sentenced to 25 years. He gave something of a “TED talk” from jail, highlighting how he has “changed” and progressed as a person. I appreciate there are those who believe incarceration should be punishment AND rehabilitation. But sometimes, it should just be punishment. Listen to the full speech (link in reply). What struck me is how he effectively glossed over what he did, and instead emphasized how he was a victim throughout. It feels especially enraging for him to talk about having thrown his life away, and how he wants to see his parents, after having murdered a woman who would never be able to see her family again. I know there are people who believe in forgiveness and redemption, for anyone. But I do believe that there are actions so evil and depraved, forgiveness and redemption on this earth is no longer an option.

@680TheFan Quit trying to make UGa an Atlanta team.

@MearnsKris @JohnSwinney I am trying to be more informed.

@JetJacket @JohnSwinney The simple fact that you / WM don’t even have knowledge of, or consider the differences makes Independence even more important.

The Scottish Parliament has spoken. A significant majority of MSPs has voted to affirm the right of people in Scotland to decide their constitutional future. This is democracy and it must be respected. Scotland’s future must be in Scotland’s hands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@RoyCooperNC North Carolina can, and must do better than you.

I know many North Carolinians know me, but to those I haven’t met yet: Hi. I’m Roy Cooper, husband, father and former Governor and Attorney General of North Carolina, and now I’m running for Senate to bring some North Carolina common sense to DC.

@Gabby_Hoffman We used to have a restaurant called the Pleasant Pheasant

Outside the Beltway, with some pleasant pheasant views.

@MearnsKris @JohnSwinney And those can only be handled via independence because Westmister is in the way of the solutions?

@JetJacket @JohnSwinney Immigration, energy, more fiscal levers just for starters.

@Vtnova @ADavidHaleJoint How many of those 136 have a legitimate shot? Half at most I would guess.

@JetJacket @ADavidHaleJoint 24 out of 136, seems like plenty of doubt...

Money + Hope = 24 team playoff At ACC meetings, Phillips said main reason for 24 was “schools continue to invest … it’s really important that they have hope.” Sankey echoed that: “There are a lot more people putting economic heft behind teams expecting an outcome.”

@Vtnova @ADavidHaleJoint Won't be a lot of doubt considering so many teams will make it.

@JetJacket @ADavidHaleJoint To see who makes it to the playoffs. Same as every other sports league with a playoff...

@TaraRoss Also loved him as Ali Hakim in "Oklahoma". He was also in "The Longest Day" about D-Day.

“I don’t really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people,” Albert once said. Many might think the 1965 Green Acres premiere accomplished this feat. But the families of several dozen Marines know that he actually accomplished it decades earlier on a small island in the Pacific. Rest in peace, sir. /14 of X

On this day in 2005, Green Acres star Eddie Albert passes away. You might know him for his success in Hollywood, but do you know about his service during World War II? /1 of X #storytime 🧵👇

@philipaklein "Seems like a dumb guy". That's usually not enough to make people not want to vote for someone. "He's an idiot but he's our idiot", or as @jimgeraghty would say it "He's a nut but he's our nut, see".

@jamesawhiite Do not mess with my Eastern Time Zone. One of the many benefits to living in Georgia.

It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered. You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day. This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm. The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone. A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time. Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans. We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all. Fix the time zones and affix standard time.

The Hoover Dam, which lies on the state line between Nevada and Arizona, is getting a star-spangled upgrade for America 250, complete with lights and a massive American flag. MORE: tinyurl.com/rbu5xk3w

@ChrisMusson @conor_matchett The SNP not putting their best people forward.

Our reporter @conor_matchett has just asked John Swinney if he thinks giving a 'no comment' interview (as Nicola Sturgeon did) is fully cooperating with police (as Sturgeon promised to do). FM's response: "I've got no comment to offer about police investigations."
