@puttnfool @Cooper17575469 @TigerWoods @BLACK__DIAAMOND Right - it’s more of a remembrance and honoring of service members who lost their lives on duty. But this holiday has evolved to be an appreciation of living in the greatest country in the world thanks in part to the people who have served in the military to defend our freedom.

@HillaryH1966 @Cooper17575469 @TigerWoods @BLACK__DIAAMOND I agree with your first point, but Memorial Day is not meant to be a happy day or a celebration.

My father was a Special Forces operator with two tours in Vietnam and 20 years of service. To all those like my father, we all say thank you for your sacrifices. Without them we wouldn’t have the greatest country on Earth.

@Cooper17575469 @TigerWoods @BLACK__DIAAMOND Tiger can make a post about his wonderful father any day he chooses. Happy Memorial Day!

@TigerWoods @BLACK__DIAAMOND Sadly you don’t know what Memorial Day is. It’s for those who put on the uniform and never came back. Your father did.

@DannyDeraney My Mom and Dad would let me and my sister watch this show with them growing up! This is still cracking me up just as it did when I was a teenager.

46 years ago tonight, the last episode to feature members of the original cast of SNL aired. And it ended with a banger. Lord and Lady Douchebag. 😂😂

Pete Buttigieg moved like a sloth. I’m moving at the speed of Trump! After four years of a do-nothing DOT Secretary, America is back 🇺🇸 Look what @USDOT has done in just ONE year!👇🏼

@elonmusk Best movie scene ever!

@TVSportsUpdates Cherie said it was an honor for her (Cherie) that she was interviewed by Donna during Donna’s last coverage of the Derby.

Today was Donna Brothers' final time covering the Kentucky Derby for NBC. Before the race, Cherie DeVaux said "it is an honor that you get to do your last walkover with me." Brothers told DeVaux, "I'm hoping you become the first female trainer to win the Kentucky Derby."

No female trainer has ever won the Kentucky Derby. In Derby 152, Cherie DeVaux will saddle her first starter, Golden Tempo, giving her an opportunity to challenge that history. @reredevaux @LEX18News @KentuckyDerby

@Adrianne_DeVaux You go girl!!! 🌹🐎

Hey we won the Kentucky Derby! #devauxsonthegeaux

🚨 BREAKING: Golden Tempo has WON the Kentucky Derby Literally came up from close to LAST PLACE to eke out the win. Watch number 19 ROCKET to the front of the pack 7+ lengths back even on the final stretch, with 23-1 odds LOVE to see an underdog win 🔥

“I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World. This will be a wonderful addition to the Washington D.C. area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

@elonmusk So if I write in English, my words will be translated to any language that other users read? i.e. Japanese, Spanish, Korean, French …

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

@plramirez Love the hats! 🧢

Happy Easter. Remember to wear bright colors today!

@sarahadams @BernieSanders @three_cube I’m just gonna be hearting @sarahadams posts all day long 🩷😁

@BernieSanders @three_cube Clearly you had never negotiated with terrorists

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday. These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

At the @TWAhotel for one night only!

Boston, 1712. The midwife hands a baby girl to her mother. Fifteenth child in the Franklin household. They name her Jane... Seven years later, another baby arrives. A boy. Benjamin. Number seventeen. Same parents. Same cramped house. Same poverty. Two children who will share almost identical genetic potential. But their lives will split so completely that 250 years later, one name will be on currency and in every history textbook, while the other will be barely a whisper in footnotes. Jane Franklin married at fifteen. Not for love. For subtraction. One less mouth for her parents to feed. Her husband Edward made saddles, which meant irregular income and a future of counting pennies until her fingers ached. Her brother Benjamin left home around the same time. Learned printing. Moved to Philadelphia. Started climbing. Jane started something else. Pregnancy. Twelve times in twenty-two years. Her body became a factory of life that kept delivering heartbreak. The babies came, and then they left. Josiah at five years old. Sarah as a toddler. Benjamin at three. Another Jane at seven. The names blur together in colonial death records, assuming there were records at all. Eleven of her twelve children died before she did. While Benjamin Franklin sat in London drawing rooms discussing natural philosophy, Jane sat in Boston doing arithmetic that meant survival. Three shillings for rent. Can we afford candles this week? How much soap can I make before my hands crack open? She wasn't less intelligent than her famous brother. Her letters prove a mind just as sharp, just as curious. She read everything she could find. She understood politics deeply. She thought in complex, elegant sentences. But intelligence without access is just potential that evaporates. Benjamin got apprenticeship and patronage. Jane got a husband whose mind deteriorated, leaving her as sole provider for a household that kept expanding and collapsing in cycles of birth and death. She made soap. Took in boarders. Sewed by candlelight until her vision blurred. Became the communication center for the entire Franklin family network, coordinating help and resources, invisible infrastructure that held everything together. When Benjamin died in 1790, twenty thousand people attended his funeral. France mourned. He'd secured his legacy as a founder, inventor, diplomat. He left Jane a house and income. She was seventy-eight. For the first time in sixty-three years of marriage, she had financial security. She lived four more years before dying quietly in Boston. Same family. Same intelligence. Wildly different outcomes based entirely on which body they were born into. 📷© Bodoklecksel (Wikimedia Commons) / Die grossen Polarexpeditionen London 1978 (Restored & Colorized) © Daughters of Time #archaeohistories
