@Julio_Econ @bstokley14 Would Jesus agree?

No doubt it’s a double standard. Some people can say whatever they want but others get fired for saying much less. Steve Kerr,Doc,Popovich have all run their mouths but they get absolutely nothing done to them. I’ve had coworkers that have tried to get me fired for my views. Sad but it’s true. Funny thing is they don’t even know that I know😁

@efisch17 @bstokley14 Yes. Christianity is not a suicide pact. Sins are to be repented.

@Julio_Econ @bstokley14 lol is Steve Kerr not white? If Christians have a problem with "others" are they really christian?

@efisch17 @bstokley14 Inclusive of everyone but whites, men, and Christians you mean?

@bstokley14 It's not like for like. One is inclusive, one is exclusive.

@OSUTriceratops @bstokley14 If you don't think state action is directly responsible for the urban decay, then you're willfully ignorant.

@Julio_Econ @bstokley14 It's wonderfully ironic that a self proclaimed libertarian is mad the government won't do anything about personal responsibility. It's almost like you have no idea what you believe!

My point is Downtown Denver has progressively gotten worse over the years not better. I used to love going downtown. How many businesses have closed downtown recently? Why? What about all the homeless and druggies that are everywhere? I don’t like bringing my kids downtown to see people shooting up drugs and going to the bathroom out in the public. That shouldn’t be acceptable. I’m sorry if you’re okay with that but I’m not

Imagine you are a working father living in the Midwest, you make 75k a year. You can support your family, but you're not rich. You worry about paying for college. Then you read about some Somalian stealing $1m out of federal healthcare programs. $1 million for the normal guy would eliminate an enormous amount of his stress. The college thing would be covered. Retirement wouldn't appear so daunting. It's why guys like this buy lottery tickets. And instead he pays into the system and watches "newcomers" make a complete ass out of him. This fraud is bad financially, but it just makes a mockery of all the hard work of normal people and tears away at the social fabric.

@AuronMacintyre I would probably put the break between 3 and 4 at the Federal Reserve Act, but otherwise fascinating insight

Respectfully, there are five Articles of Confederation:1781-1789 2nd Republic (what conservatives think we have) :1789-1865 3rd Republic of the 14thA:1865-1933 4th Republic the New Deal 1933-1965 5th Republic Civil Rights Regime 1965-present

@RockiesPsychic No great lefty options, so I'll go with Goodman

Game 2. Submit your pick for first Rockies player to hit a HR.

@markkiszla 63 wins and answers on 5-10 prospects/young guys. In a word: direction.

What’s your definition of a “good” season for the Rockies in 2026? Your thoughts? Please. And thanks.

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

When the Rockies won 14 out of 15 games to storm into the postseason and eventually to an NL Pennant.

We can’t leave the war in Iran because they now control shipping in the strait A situation manufactured by our involvement in the war itself This is why you never give an inch to the neocons, this situation was manufactured on purpose to trap us in a war and it’s working

@SleeperRockies The #RoadTo63 resumes!

🟣The Rockies will finish with ___ wins in 2026🟣 I’ll go first… 73 😁

@BobMurphyEcon The amazing part is that Chuck Norris mythology all developed without the internet.

Is it documented anywhere how the mythology developed around Chuck Norris? I mean, once people made a few of the jokes, everybody gets the formula and it is self-perpetuating. But when did that start?

It is long past time to outlaw QR code menus in restaurants

@MostlyPeaceful I went thru an era of buying full-screen DVDs around 2004 to fit my tvs. Internet went out a few weeks ago, so I put on my MIB2 fullscreen DVD. Horrible experience on a widescreen tv

Hit pay dirt at the garage sale this morning boys

@mf_tomb @MurrayHillGuy1 Happiness and fun are not the same thing and it takes having a family for most people to know the difference.

@MurrayHillGuy1 Everyone on X pretends that being in the suburbs with kids is “so much better” than living in the city when really most of them hate their lives but can’t admit it

Day in the life of a mid 30s guy in the suburbs (Saturday edition/no kids): 7:30am — wakes up before his alarm anyway 8:00 — walks the golden retriever 8:30 — chug a black coffee 9:30 — Costco run that somehow turns into $347 12:30 — eats samples like it’s lunch 2:00 — “quick” nap that ruins the rest of the day 4:30 — stands in the backyard staring at nothing 6:00 — gets yelled at by his wife for something he definitely did wrong 7:30 — 1.5 beers = exhausted 9:15 — falls asleep mid-movie he picked 2:30am — wide awake for no reason, contemplating everything Same script every weekend

@REFLOG18 Crowd involvement is key. Daughter went with Seven Nations Army to get the crowd to start a Seminole chant when she bats. "You're Love" by The Outfield, We Will Rock You, Big Poppa (hands in the air), there are a lot of little intricacies that make the crowd love your AB.

My son told me he has to pick his walk up music for this high school baseball season (I didn’t realize they still did this in HS😂) So…. give me your best suggestions for walk up songs. ⚾️

@coachzblair10 Earhole the 10 year old

Let the kids play? 🤷🏼‍♂️ There are people out there that think this behavior is okay. Why isn't it enough to hit a homer, flip the bat a little, and run around the bases?
