@drantbradley @crwiley1962 @Forbes How many will soon join King’s College? “Walk with the King today” R. Cook

The following colleges are facing a financial crisis. From @Forbes.

@glbaumann Memorial day should probably be a little more tearful than happy and this song encourages that.

We’re probably light on Memorial Day songs as a society, but this one is my favorite. 🇺🇸 music.apple.com/us/album/dress…

We’ve raised a few generations to falsely believe that you can have thriving families and children outside of marriage. Research confirms that this is a myth.

@DavidBCollum Perhaps as a man esteemed for holding to his convictions, Thomas Massie was always better suited as a Senator. Upsetting party leadership is risky in both parties especially in the House.

Now that Massie has lost the Democrats will finish the job by Running Michael Aquino for the Kentucky seat.

@glbaumann Maybe NY would be red if NYC was excluded. Maybe not

Who else? 🙋🏻‍♂️

@GolfonCBS Stupid post.

This putt resulted in a one-stroke penalty for Lee Hodges at the 2023 PGA Championship 🥲

On this day in 1980, Lindy Ruff went after Billy Smith after the goaltender got him in the eye with the butt end of his stick. At the time Smith didn't tape the end of his stick, but following the incident the NHL cracked down on the practice #Hockey365 #LetsGoBuffalo

Some questions I'd like to ask regarding the intellectual attainments of American schoolteachers: How likely is the English teacher to be able to explain Milton's prosody; what Shakespeare is saying 98% of the time (without the odious Spark Notes and such); what a participle is; who Samuel Johnson was and why we should care; what the passive voice is and how to use it well; how to read a dramatic monologue such as "Ulysses" ...? How likely is the "Social Studies" teacher to be able to describe the kinds of inland waterways that characterize each of the continents, and what influence they have had on the development or non-development of civilizations; what makes it so that hundreds of millions of people can live north of the 49th parallel in Europe but not in North America; what you need to develop metallurgy; what you need to pass from tribal culture to cities and their networks; what you need to sow grain on a very large scale; what the battles at Zama, Actium, Adrianople, Tours, Hastings meant for the development of the west; what improvements in technology did to transform armies; what the Tropics are ...? I could go on. My college students (since 1985) have hardly ever been able to answer this question correctly: "It is sunrise in early April, and you are facing east. How does the sun's course through the morning depend on where on the earth's surface you are standing?" Or, to make it simpler, they have not known that up here in the northern hemisphere, the sun will appear in the southern part of the sky at midday; or that the sun in midsummer, below the Arctic Circle, will rise north of east and set north of west, etc. They have known little about geology, little about mechanical advantage, little about any practical use of knowledge of the natural world around them. They know little about anatomy and physiology. "Science" appears to have been reduced to biology, but biology as a way of playing politics. Oh, and math. Hardly any of my students can answer the following question by thinking about it for a moment: 7 is 21% of what? They don't have a sense for number. They can't tell me immediately that 13/17 > 15/20. They don't know that a sphere is a 3-dimensional circle. They MAY have memorized the formula to solve a quadratic equation, but they do not understand what it means, nor could they solve a quadratic without looking it up. They know of no series or sequences that converge to pi... And to think -- English schoolboys once learned studied Latin and Greek literature, then went on to be scientists, explorers, archaeologists, ethnographers, linguists, mathematicians, statesmen ... Gladstone could more than hold his own in an impromptu discussion of Greek drama ...

@Erik_Erlendsson A gritty goal. I’m sorry Phil wasn’t in the radio booth for it because it was an Esposito-like goal.

Gage Goncalves put his name in #TBLightning lore by capping off an epic game in overtime to help #GoBolts avoid elimination in the most wide-open game of a tightly played series and force a Game 7 on Sunday bit.ly/4n7OHoG

@nypost Did SPLC help fund the Charlottesville protest in 2017?

8 hate group leaders — including KKK Imperial Wizard and neo-Nazi — got millions from SPLC as part of ‘informant’ scheme, DOJ says. Read today's cover here: trib.al/gl06n1w

@BarstoolGruden Thanks for using the Bulls facility.

You might be quick… but you can always be quicker!! We want to get 1% quicker every single day!

@glbaumann Fly rods in Colorado for trout are short and don't require double haul casting but you may want to buy a longer one (9 ft.) for open water casting. It would still suffice in small streams.

@glbaumann my fly rod came with a lifetime guarantee. I have had it fixed or repaired many times for free. I think it's worth the investment to get a good rod with that guarantee. I suggest you buy it before the lessons so they can go over all the setup and cleaning as part of the class.

Fly fishing twitter™️ What are some good fly fishing things for a guy who won fly fishing accoutrements and beginner lessons at an auction this week?

Or you can buy one of these and drive it long enough to pass down to your children.

@Gerry500679502 @BillMelugin_ Democrats

@BillMelugin_ Democrats have offered to pay TSA and DHS. Republicans refuse to separate this from ICE funding. You tell me who is holding back on their paychecks.

NEW: Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) & Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) get into face to face confrontation about TSA being unfunded while in front of the airport in Austin. It appears Cornyn was delivering burgers/lunch to TSA workers. Rep. Casar said “he should bring them their paychecks”.
