@Fuzzyy_2 @betterwelder12 @timthetatman @CallofDuty An opinion about a video game is invalid if the person hasn’t played it in a while but the game hasn’t changed either? That’s an interesting take.

@betterwelder12 @timthetatman @CallofDuty I’m so glad someone said this. Like low key. His tweet is invalid. lol

@CallofDuty HEY GUYS BIG FAN (PHYSICALLY) BLACKOPS ROYALE WAS FUN AND PEOPLE ENJOYED PLAYING IT PLEASE KEEP IT IN THE GAME

@MattKerney Gonna need more than 1.4% increases to funding to get most school districts on board with adding sports. Some will be able to add it. I’d bet a lot will need to co-op or they can’t fund another sport.

I feel both high school & Legion baseball get equal exposure/recruitment opportunities.. But could South Dakota high school baseball see more exposure/recruitment if it was a SDHSAA-sanctioned sport? 🤔 #SDPreps

@JakeSucky You know: the best way to not play cheaters is to just have games on Xbox and PlayStation. Shut down the PC market :)

"Just gunna die to cheaters and stream snipers, nothings changed... this game's unplayable" Ninja has quit ARC Raiders and streaming once again due to cheaters, lasting just 3 hours upon his return

@angiinjackson @RuthJoy96960173 Just a quick note;where I’m from teachers are contract workers. They get paid from 7:30-3:30. It is not a salary as traditionally thought of. There are literally contracted work hours. So, yes, while some choose to get paid 12 months of the year, they’re just playing a shell game

@RuthJoy96960173 Yes! They are paid salaries which take into account they don’t work in the summer. Most teachers are paid for ten months of work in twelve months. They do however go above and beyond their pay like others as well

Not sure why teachers assume that they are the only ones who work outside contract hours. It's the difference between being a salaried and hourly employee. Everyone who goes into teaching knows - - or should know - - that they will have to take care of things outside school hours. It's a choice freely made.

@HereToday581533 @TolentinoTeach Ah, yes, the Black Lives Matter movement forced you out of teaching. That definitely makes sense and in no way means you got in to teaching for the wrong reasons.

@TolentinoTeach I had to quit (mandates, gender madness, blm, no standards, no grades for 2022) I’m assuming it went downhill since then

If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student. The students have changed. Teaching has changed. You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.

@MLBFanSupport thoughts here??

Hey @MLBTV why can I watch the Yankees royals game on my TV but get this on the app? #mlbtv

…..I don’t even have words anymore for this kind of thing.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Being a Christian and being loyal to this man is incompatible. Being conservative? No problem. Being Republican? No problem. Loyalty to this man? Big problem.

Trumps gone. He’s done. He’s attacking the Pope. The GOP is officially done as we know it.

@LordofAds …..dudes name is AJ…..not Stuart

No, you did not go viral for the "wrong" reason. You went viral because it perfectly represents how employees are forced to reply during PTO or risk getting fired in 2026. And you were a clear Stuart of that culture. Nicely done turning off replies on this post as well...

@FixingEducation Choir here: about 40 at a time is best honestly. I have between 90 and 110 right now.

What is the ideal number of students in your classroom for what you teach?

@GernaderJake Bungo gonna Bungo

I’m a bit confused by this whole cheater situation in Marathon. Apparently, high ranked lobbies are just filled with blatant cheaters. It’s almost a guarantee you’ll match them. How is Bungie so quick with all the nerfs and changes, but they are just silently allowing these cheaters to go crazy week after week? They unfortunately did the same thing with cheaters in Trials, but I thought they would have learned their lesson and been ON IT for Marathon. How hard is it to have one person manually review the accounts in the high ranked lobbies? Why are they silent and why are the cheaters going unpunished? It just feels like such a huge L, and it really should be such an easy W for them

@GuntherEagleman Tell me you’ve never been to the Midwest before, “Gunther”….

2 and it wouldn’t be close.

@itsapsyopbro Still shouldn’t even get that. Everyone benefits from an educated population. I can’t take my money back if I promise not to drive on certain roads

No… you should just be exempt from the portion of your tax that pays for public school. You’re not entitled to anything above and beyond that.

@j_fishback And if I promise not to drive on certain highways and roads I should get that part of my taxes back, right? If I don’t want to use the fire department if my house starts on fire it’s my choice? I can get those taxes back?

If you decide to pull your child from public school and homeschool your child You should get the full $13,000 for your child that would have been spent on your child in public school

It's rare that sports fans agree on anything. But everyone seems to be in agreement today: Duke got robbed this weekend. Dan Hurley and UConn have been flagrantly ignoring the rules for the entirety of the NCAA Tournament. Sunday was no exception. There were still 0.4 seconds on the clock. The game was live. Dan Hurley walked toward a referee on the sideline. He got in the official’s face. Then he pressed his forehead directly into the ref’s forehead. SI called it a “menacing forehead tap.” No technical foul was called. If it had been, Duke shoots two free throws. Down one. With an 86% free throw shooter at the line. Here's what actually happened and why this should be a much bigger story than it is. Braylon Mullins hit a 35-foot three to give UConn a 73-72 lead with 0.4 seconds left. It was the shot of the tournament. Nobody is disputing that. But in the seconds after the shot, Hurley walked toward a referee, got in his face, and pressed his forehead directly into the official's forehead. Sports Illustrated described it as a "menacing forehead tap." The clock still showed 0.4 seconds. The game was not over. A technical foul on a head coach for making contact with an official during a live ball is one of the easiest calls in basketball. There is no gray area. Contact with a game official is a technical. If it's called, Duke's Isaiah Evans steps to the free throw line, trailing 73-72. He shot 86% from the stripe this season. Makes both? Duke wins 74-73. Makes one? Overtime. That wasn't the only violation. When Mullins' shot went in, UConn bench players ran onto the court to celebrate before the game was over. They caught themselves and ran back, but they had already entered the playing area during a live ball. Duke's radio announcers immediately called for a technical. That wasn't called either. Two separate technical foul violations. Zero calls. In the span of 0.4 seconds. And here's what makes the Hurley part impossible to ignore. Three weeks ago, on March 7, Hurley was ejected from UConn's game at Marquette in the final second for getting in a referee's face. He was chest-to-shoulder with the official. Double technical. Ejected. The Big East fined him $25,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct. In the Sweet 16 against Michigan State on March 27, Hurley challenged an out-of-bounds call, got it overturned, and then sarcastically offered his glasses to the ref who got it wrong. Lip readers caught him asking about Lasik. Nothing was called. Two days later against Duke, Hurley was officially "warned" during the game for leaving his coach's box. Told to stay put. Then after the buzzer beater, he went forehead-to-forehead with a ref. Ejected and fined $25,000 at Marquette. Taunted a ref to his face at Michigan State with no consequences. Warned during the Duke game for leaving his coach's box. Then physical contact with a referee in the biggest moment of the tournament. The full breakdown of every missed call and what would have happened if any of them were made is here: itsgame7.com/news/duke-got-… UConn came back from 19 down. Mullins hit one of the greatest shots in tournament history. That part was earned. But two technical foul violations in 0.4 seconds, and neither one called, on a coach who was ejected for the same thing three weeks ago? That's not intensity. That's a pattern. And last night, it changed the outcome of a game.

The @NCAA let’s this dude get away with way too much.

@walkeri141 Coaching issue. Had a timeout to explain that

From a rules perspective you can't even explain how baffling Duke's decision to throw the ball away was... 1.) Shot Clock off 2.) Exactly 10 Seconds left - a 10 second violation is meaningless 3.) 5 Seconds doesn't apply in the BC ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS HOLD THE BALL
