Second only to watching my daughter hitting a walk off triple to win the Maryland state championship

This was the second greatest sporting event I’ve ever witnessed in person. So cool. Chills @UConnHuskies #MarchMadness #UConn

Interesting conversation here with @tobiaspeterAEI highlighting the risks of moving away from tri-merge

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

granted I’m on a LOT of morphine….but is nobody else connecting the dots here? ALL the green teams have lost — late — this weekend (Packers, Panthers, Jaguars, Eagles)? you’re all a bunch o sheep

And we’re still hungry for more 😤

BANG BANG #49ers

While everyone is praising the @Seahawks and talking about how still great the @RamsNFL are - can we PLEASE recognize that if the @49ers win out - they are not only NFCWest Champs - but also the #1 seed in the NFC? #BangBangNinerGang @katienolan

@GattlingJr What I find truly tragic is to think about the alternative timeline had he not been assassinated. His policies and plans for reconstruction would have put the entire nation on such a different course. I believe we’re still paying the price for his death.

@bwcorb That's the thing. For a long time, I didn't fully appreciate the tightness of the timeline: South Carolina seceded one month after he was elected; he was assassinated one week after Lee surrendered at Appomattox.

I'm currently "reading" Ron Chernow's biography of Ulysses S. Grant (on audiobook). One thing I've come to appreciate is just how difficult Abraham Lincoln's life was, and not just his early years. Both publicly and personally. Just makes me very sad.

Forget messaging. And your political views. This speech delivery is … jarring. Did they forget to use commas? Periods? It’s just yelling at a camera.

In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture. On the back of the photograph she wrote: “‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says. ‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.” The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

@SlingshotDC @kelmej It’s the nerdy question of the week! What will happen to (is it Palmer?) of the Connecticut 1st

@kelmej forerunner of the substack...

Got up early so I can watch more kb american rev 😂🤠

How can you not love baseball man

It's a beautiful game

this game is unreal. I’m gonna miss baseball so much.

If Game 7 hits 2 a.m. Eastern we will trigger a rare clause in the MLB collective bargaining agreement known as The Purge where nothing that happens in the World Series counts for one hour
