The U.S. and the Holocaust - A new documentary by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein and why pretzel sticks matter. It was the early 60s and I'm a kid from a working class neighborhood just outside of Boston. There was the Polish family across the street heading of to

@San_Panteleone @Rainmaker1973 A cold beer at the Snake Pit was my go to after work. Thoroughly enjoyedmy time on the island!

@Rainmaker1973 Been here. I'm a tech diver. My dive crew flew to Kwajalien, then steamed to Bikini, 36 hours away. We spent 2 weeks diving the testing areas. Spent some time on land partying with the Marshall caretaker crew. Had a bbq with them. We brought the beer, they brought the lobsters.

A massive nuclear waste tomb in the Pacific is beginning to crack and leak. The Runit Dome, constructed in the late 1970s on a remote island in the Marshall Islands, was built to contain over 120,000 tons of radioactive debris left behind by U.S. nuclear testing. Among the waste is plutonium-239, a highly dangerous isotope that remains radioactive for more than 24,000 years. The dome stretches roughly 377 feet (115 meters) across and was never properly sealed at the base. Instead, it rests directly on porous coral, allowing groundwater to flow freely beneath it. Now, rising sea levels and increasingly powerful storms are stressing the structure. Cracks have formed in the concrete, and scientists have already detected elevated radiation levels in the surrounding soil and water. While the current leaks are still considered relatively minor, experts warn that as oceans continue to rise, the risk of a much larger release will grow. Built as a temporary fix decades ago, the Runit Dome now stands as a stark reminder: the radioactive waste sealed inside it will remain hazardous long after our civilizations are gone.

@itsalawyerslife The problem with being placed on a pedestal is that it hurts when you fall off.

Every year, Heidi Klum is at every film awards, film festival, big film event going. Why? She isn’t in the industry. And what in the ill fitting, couldn’t you afford enough fabric, ugly, mish mash mess is this outfit?

@Acyn The next time a reporter gets insulted by Donnie Bone Spurs the response should be, "yes, and you're a fat slob, a pervert, and a convict but how about we leave the insults for another time and focus on the good of the country". MSM, call out the bs and stop getting played by him

Reporter: Your PAC sent out a fundraising email using you at the dignified transfer. Do you think this is appropriate? Trump: I do. I didn’t see it. Who are you with? Reporter: ABC Trump: I think it's maybe the most corrupt news organizations on the planet. I think they're terrible. I don't want any more from ABC.

@MLFootball Rod Carew fouls that ball off. Tony Gwynn and Wade Boggs foul that ball off. Under those circumstances you can't let the ump decide the game. Foul the ball off and wait for a better pitch or a ball that is more clearly out of the strike zone.

🚨🚨THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST CALLS IN BASEBALL HISTORY🚨🚨 THE UMP IN THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC JUST SCREWED OVER THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC TEAM. This was clearly a ball — Way below the strike zone. Oh my goodness. The DR got robbed. 😳😳😳

@20th_Centurygal Kind of Blue Davis, Coltrane, Adderley, Chambers, Evans, Cobb, and Kelly. Only the 1927 Yankees had a better lineup than this.

Name one album that’s perfect from start to finish. No skips. No filler. Just pure greatness...🎶🎸

@TheExtremeMusi1 I was lucky enough to see the great @NikkiLamborn perform Kashmir with Peter Frampton, Roger Daltrey, and Simon Townsend along with so many other great musicians on stage with them. I love Led Zeppelin, she was better.

Led Zeppelin unleashing “Kashmir” on more than 100,000 fans at Knebworth in 1979 — one of their most legendary live moments. Born in 1974 at Headley Grange and later immortalised on Physical Graffiti (1975), the song became a band favourite, with all four members calling it one of their greatest achievements. Jimmy Page created the iconic, hypnotic riff while experimenting with DADGAD tuning, inspired by the sound of a sitar. The idea grew from an unfinished track called “Swan Song,” where a descending guitar line was flipped and transformed into the towering riff that drives “Kashmir.” The result is a vast, otherworldly soundscape that still sends chills down the spine decades later. In this performance, Page’s intense, almost trance-like gaze only adds to the mystique. Here’s a video capturing the magic:

@DrAlmarielao Airlines should sell the overhead compartment space. Reserve space when you purchase your ticket, assigned spaces only, and you get to board first. When all the spaces are purchased, too bad for you, pack accordingly. One bag only, under your seat. Stop the nonsense.

A traveler is boarding a flight and places her carry-on bag inside the airline’s size tester at the gate. The bag fits, but she slightly adjusts the handles so they don’t stick out. An airline employee watching tells her that because she “pushed the handles in,” the bag doesn’t count as fitting properly and says she must pay an extra $100 carry-on fee. Situations like this happen more often as airlines enforce stricter baggage policies. While some staff are following rules, travelers also deserve fair treatment. If the bag truly fits in the tester, many people would argue the fee shouldn’t apply. Staying calm, documenting the situation, and requesting a supervisor may help resolve it without escalating the conflict. What should the traveler do in this situation? Pay the fee to avoid missing the flight, ask for a supervisor, or calmly insist that the bag clearly fits the tester?

@b9bozzi A friend / client had a 2 buddies coming to town. Wanted to play at my very good private if possible. I pick up the green fees for all, drinks on the course, burgers & beers in the pub. One of the buddies complains as he hands over the $20 bet, not fair because I knew the course.

I invited someone to my club with 2 of their friends, which I thought was a nice offer to give them access to a solid private track. None of them are members anywhere so they normally wouldn’t have that access. Guest fee is right on par with the other courses in the area if not less. Person hits me back and asks if my club has reciprocals with a couple of the more high end clubs nearby because their friends want to play the nicer courses instead and supposedly because our greens are never fast enough (rolling at an 11 or so on average). Please don’t do this kind of stuff if you have friends at private clubs. If someone is willing to host you, plus 2 others they don’t know, don’t get greedy and ask them to go above and beyond so you can play exactly where you want. It’s like someone offering to lend you their Mercedes for the day and you ask them to ask their buddy if you can drive their Rolls Royce instead.

@LouStagner Accuracy is overrated. Course management is for suckers. Challenges suck. Bomb and gouge baby! Wide open fairways and wedges into the green. Screw the rollback, let the big dog bark and give me my birdies!

Hey Siri, show me the dumbest hole in golf. 😁

@BigBlueDrew33 I raised 3 boys, all athletes. Lots of anecdotes, my favorite is when the coach tried to talk the soccer parents into sending the team to a 7 day camp in Germany. He wasn't happy when I suggested it would be cheaper to fly the German coach to the U S. 😀 Parents beware!

Now that I’m a Little League Dad an immediate observation is the psychotic new-age expectation of EVERY kid on the team having their own bat. 14 bats?! None of these kids can even hit. 🤦‍♂️

@TourSwingsTommy I'm not a fan of waiting, I prefer a faster round. I really dislike sandbaggers & I know playing deliberately (and slower) will lower your score. A bit of a conundrum. So if the group in front is trying to play their best golf and I have to wait in the fairway do I get annoyed ?

Question: What do you consider “slow play”? I see no reason why a casual round of golf should ever take more than 4 hours. 3:30 is ideal. Unfortunately it rarely happens due to “external factors”.

@td_nash Most underrated for sure. Bill Russell is the greatest.

Yes or No. With 3 straight NCAA championships and 6 NBA championships, is Kareem Abdul Jabbar the greatest basketball player of all time?🧐

@Nerdery_Richard @richiebratton On the practice green with a putt putt course putter should set the right tone.

@richiebratton You should throw a beat up wood driver in your bag and show up on the first tee with it sticking out.

Headed on a golf trip with a few buddies and some of their buddies for a few days. They got the intro group text going and only about half the dudes know who I am so I hit em with the "Are you guys renting clubs or bringing your own?" to break the ice. Buddy already got the "Is this guy serious?" text.

@richiebratton @rickdicksonreal Hopefully a short drive to Wolf Creek as well. It's been a while but what I remember is all good!

@rickdicksonreal St. George, UT! High Desert kinda stuff

@richiebratton Your next text should ask for opinions, which is better, Pinnacles or Top Flites. 😄

@TheSportsSignal Holmes vs Ali

What is the saddest moment you’ve ever seen live watching sports?

@AngelMD1103 I'm assuming this is clickbait because I find it hard to believe anyone could be that stupid but if not, caveat emptor. I believe that's Latin for a fool and their money will soon part. Or let the buyer beware, one or the other.

She bought the riverfront property for over a million dollars, imagining quiet mornings and total privacy. The backyard backed up to a beautiful river, the main selling point. But after moving in, she realized strangers were constantly walking along the bank, fishing, setting up chairs, and even crossing parts of her land like it was a public park. Digging deeper, she claims the previous homeowner knew this had been happening for years, and never disclosed it. Now she’s suing in five different ways: 1. Fraudulent concealment (failure to disclose), 2. Fraudulent inducement, 3. Breach of the purchase agreement, 4. Breach of the special warranty deed. 5. Breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. Waterfront property sounds like a dream until access rights, public use, and hidden realities surface. When seven figures are involved, transparency isn’t optional… it’s everything. If privacy was part of what she paid for, isn’t that a material fact that should’ve been disclosed?

@Stewey444 @AugieNash My thought as well. Great writing and delivery. I still have nightmares of Gibson beating my 67 Red Sox. I won't argue if someone's claims he the greatest ever.

@AugieNash "the lazy power of an uncoiling dragon" - such a great description.

This may be the most incredible Cardinals video you watch today - or ever. Incredible CBS report on Bob Gibson's seventeen strikeout masterpiece, in game one of the 1968 World Series. Heywood Hale Broun's reporting is also a masterpiece! #STLCards

@rossmacleodputt Seems the only way to put longer irons in the players hands is to take driver out of their hands. It won't happen but grow the grass and make it penal to the point of laying up or risk a big number. Fairway widths that are miniscule, rough that you need to hack out sideways.

The “worst” winning score on PGAT this year is -16 (average is better than -20) I know tons of people will say “par doesn’t matter” Imo it does. It sets a benchmark. If it didn’t matter then why does it get talked about and shown on the course and on tv? It’s always been a good gauge of how well people are playing. Hit good shots you’ll break par. Hit bad shots you’ll struggle. Tour events just seem like a race to make most birdies now. Its great players are so good and so athletic but that could still be the case using equipment that takes off some distance couldn’t it? 500+ par 4s, 270 par 3s and still -16 is the worst score to win this year. For anyone who doesn’t think this matters. When would it matter? When -25 is the average winning score? Do we just eliminate par 5s and play par 68s? I’m not saying the rollback is the answer but I don’t think the authorities can do nothing. Where could we even play The Open in 20 years time? Imagine the world’s oldest major on courses where the game was first played being obsolete? 😢 Call me an old-fashioned 46 year old but I’d like to see more longer clubs needed to hit greens. FWIW I don’t think we need to touch the amateur game. So it’s a difficult one 🤔

@YIN_and_YANG_oo Kids today, they don't know what they don't know.😄 As an old Celtics fan Moses was one of those guys we loved to hate simply because of his greatness. Andrew Toney as well. Both great, neither get the recognition they earned.

How come Moses Malone isn't considered a top 5 center all time??? He won 3 MVP's in Kareem's prime and DESTROYED Kareem in the playoffs!
