@EthicalSkeptic I sometimes get asked why I consider myself an optimist. It's because of gestures like this, which give me hope for the future.

JUST IN 🔴 NYT: Tehran’s counterproposal for reopening the Strait of Hormuz includes: • Binding guarantees against any future attacks or renewed war • Full lifting of all sanctions • War reparations from the U.S. and Israel • Recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz • A broader regional ceasefire, including halting Israeli strikes on Hezbollah and allied groups

@RonDeSantis Really hard to beat a rotation of Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz and lineup including Chipper Jones, Justice and McGriff. That was a powerhouse team!

@MaxNordau I’m amused by the idea that anti natalist spinsters care about babies.

FYI, for those worried about taxes, the 2 options in this lottery are: A) $1,000 per week for life (the annuity option, paid weekly and described as $1,000 net of taxes, with a 20-year minimum guarantee to heirs if the winner dies early). B) Or a one-time non-taxable lump sum of $1,000,000.

@Jillie_Alexis @ChefGruel Interesting that people claiming Hegseth was always professional are willing to go on the record, while those trashing him are doing it anonymously. 🤔

Former Fox News employee here, Hegseth was nothing but professional and I always enjoyed working with him. I went on the record with this last year and I’d do it again. Ignore the coordinated lies from these “anonymous sources.”
Hannah Cox@HannahDCox

Not naming names obviously, but shortly after Hegseth’s confirmation I was at the Fox News studios and a personality said to me, “It’s all true, every single thing written about him. We’re all shaking our heads but we can’t say anything.”

That thing when your wine deliver is supposed to arrive between 10am and 2pm and then at 2pm @FedEx updates it to day 2:20 to 6:20pm. Totally fucks your day.

@reddit_lies Even when a Redditor's point is essentially valid, they make it in the most obnoxious and condescending way possible. 🙄

@IAPolls2022 For many of these responses (Musk, Taylor Swift, Mr. Beast, LeBron), people don't really want to take on their hard work, they just want the results of that effort.

@IMAO_ I'm old enough to remember when films could be terrible but still have some good scenes, or be good films but have some absolutely awful scenes. But not anymore, now every film has to be complete trash or a masterpiece from the first to last frame.
