@RyStar7_ Almost-universally, both fans and (apparently) coaches at Iowa (both MBB and WBB) are gracious to players who left. Exception possibly being football's Proctor, who yanked IA's chain pretty hard.

I got the best advice from a dad of a prominent player who entered the portal. It was essentially, pay attention to how the program treats the players that leave. Ask around, are they still nice to them, or essentially dead to them?

@0hour1 Won't happen. This is a genuinely-simple matter of supply-and-demand. You're not going to devalue a cow just because the person selling the cow has something currently considered very valuable.

Watch how fast beef prices plummet in the next month now that the DOJ is going after the price gouging idiots.

@JustTheTweets17 Looked it up, clear as cloudy milk: Yes Biden pardoned him. Blanket pardon. APPARENTLY Fauci accepted it, certainly expressed gratitude for same. But Rand Paul says it was granted via auto-pen, which invalidates it. I doubt they'll fight it out in court.

@NotTodayJoe Good point, I am not sure.

I am ALL FOR IT, but aren't we forgetting he was given a PARDON? Unless they attack the pardon, nothing will be done and the clock as run on that.

@RiseOfAlberta With a population of +/- 5 million, how many have to vote for independence in order for it to happen? And does Canada proper have any recourse in case of a pro-secession vote?

🚨 BREAKING: 301,620 signatures have officially been announced for the Alberta independence petition. That is far beyond the required threshold to trigger the Alberta independence vote on October 19th. A massive day for the Alberta Independence movement.

@cNFTfART @lukerosiak Thanks be to God it only took about 4 replies for the whataboutism to hit. I was worried we wouldn't see any.

@lukerosiak by these metrics, each company “stole” less than three quarters of a million dollars each. kristi noem stole $220 million for a 30 second commercial. she also bought a luxury jet with taxpayer dollars that has since been given to the first lady. where’s your exposé on her?

94 Medicaid "home health" companies purport to occupy this office building, taking more than $66 million of your money. They provide free butlers to immigrants. "No windows on the outside hides the fact that there's no one on the inside." There's an entire street of these.

@0hour1 The cow numbers in America are the lowest they've been since the 1950's. Maybe further back. The packers aren't the problem. It's simply supply-and-demand. Older ranchers are retiring, and the younger ones are row-cropping what used to be pasture. 2-week-old calves bring $1-$2K.

The beef industry is now under investigation for collusion in meat price gouging.

@RAWigger This was a long time ago. Any updates?

@Milajoy If she does the same for the next million or so days in a row, she will have exposed the entirety of the 18 million dollars in settlements paid.

BREAKING NEWS: Congresswoman Nancy Mace has RELEASED THE NAMES of nine people in Congress that have used the congressional slush fund to pay off sexual harassment claims. They are: 2007: Rodney Alexander ($15,000) 2009: Office of Carolyn McCarthy (2 cases resulting in 1 settlement) ($8,000) 2010: Eric Massa I ($85,000) 2010: Eric Massa II ($20,000) 2010: Eric Massa III ($10,000) 2010: John Conyers I ($50,000) 2014: Blake Farenthold ($84,000) 2014: John Conyers (Severance pay $27,111.75) 2017: Patrick Meehan (2 cases resulting in 1 settlement) (Severance pay $39,250)

@NevinLawrence Only if it is your #4 child.

My wife's due date is today. This weekend she seemed scared and asked to have a serious conversation with me. Wife - "If the baby is born on my due date will you make a Star Wars joke?" Me - "Of course not. I would never dream of it." Wife - "I just needed to check."

@Notwokenow But but but it's 0.02% of the claims we're aware of; it we get this much exposure every day, it'll only take another million days!

This is less than $500,000 and all FORMER members of Congress. No way is this the full accounting of sexual harassment payouts since 2004. They think we’re stupid. They lie right to our faces without fear of repercussions, and expect us to just buy their bullshit.

@sweatystartup I played the OF by preference; I was really fast and covered a LOT of ground. Big frog in a small pond and never played in a big pond; one of those things where I went with work opportunities and will always wonder, a little bit, "what if?"

Good rule of being a dad: Don’t let your sons waste hours and days of their lives sitting out in the outfield. If they aren’t a stud, find something else to do.

@HiddenYorkshire Well yes, but nobody has a big problem with Geoge putting Lenny down, either.

I've just read Of Mice and Men for the first time since high school and I'm going to be very woke for a moment because my reading of it has changed quite significantly since then. Yes, Lennie is just big and friendly and doesn't know his own strength and wouldn't hurt a fly etc etc but the whole plot - and audience sympathy - hinges on a physically intimidating, mentally disabled man repeatedly grabbing and holding onto women's clothes. Yes, we know he doesn't mean anything by it, he just wants to touch the purty clothing; but the women don't know that, and the audience is conditioned to sympathise with Lennie and not the women who are terrified by him. Curley's Wife doesn't even get a name, and she's a whore with red lipstick anyway. And it's not an isolated incident. Lennie did it at Weeds, which is what got him and George kicked out of there, and he did again to Curley's Wife. Now imagine that you're one of the women suddenly cornered by a hulking creature of a man who grabs you and doesn't let go and tells you how he loves your red dress, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. That's terrifying. That is where my locus of sympathy sits. Of Mice and Men is a complex book, but I find myself increasingly uncomfortable with the way the audience is conditioned to sympathise and associate with Lennie.

@NancyMace So 0.02% of the claims the past 20 years. Nice start, I guess.

The files are out. Our subpoena has uncovered settlements totaling $338,000 from Congress's sexual harassment slush fund. Nine members named. Records before 2004 - destroyed. 357 members of Congress voted to keep it hidden. We’re leading the charge to release them despite their opposition. 2007: Rodney Alexander ($15,000) 2009: Office of Carolyn McCarthy (2 cases resulting in 1 settlement) ($8,000) 2010: Eric Massa I ($85,000) 2010: Eric Massa II ($20,000) 2010: Eric Massa III ($10,000) 2010: John Conyers I ($50,000) 2014: Blake Farenthold ($84,000) 2014: John Conyers (Severance pay $27,111.75) 2017: Patrick Meehan (2 cases resulting in 1 settlement) (Severance pay $39,250)

@RandyGoat Ask around for your closest Mennonite or Amish supplier. They accept cash, and also don't mess with crooked lumber. There's almost-certainly one within an hour's drive of you.

Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, and all the other building supply stores have absolutely trash lumber. All I needed was 3-8 foot long 1x12s to build some shelves. Where do we find decent lumber?

@artless_space Because anchor babies are considered citizens, and we don't let citizens starve to death so SNAP is given irrespective of parental citizenship. Ditto for housing, medical, education and every other aspect of welfare.

If they’re illegal, how do they register for food stamps??? 🤔

@NeonHooligan @Gwenneths7 Actually, could be. Online messaging boards were a thing well-before texting was. And texting was prohibitively-expensive into the 2000's. youtube.com/watch?v=9JxhTn…

@Gwenneths7 You met online but it was pre-texting? 🤨

I met a guy online. We emailed and messaged (this was before texting was a thing) and went out a few times. I liked him, but I wasn’t sure about it. He called me pretty regularly (again, this was pre-texting). Then one day, the calls stopped. That night, I called and left him a

@BarstoolBig12 ISU could do it easily; they have a bunch of freed-up gymnasts and so while they might lose a lot of games, they'd be fun to watch wouldn't they?

Colorado and Iowa State are the only two Big 12 teams without baseball. Need these two programs to add a team asap 👀

@crampell I got a scheduled x-ray at the local hospital this Spring; had to present a picture ID to do that. Had a surgery as a result of the info gained via x-ray; SAME hospital and had to present a picture ID to do that. 2 weeks later had surgery on the other eye, same place YUP Pic ID.

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”
