@anonymous20852 @cmclymer Very true. Boston and NY teams are very branded. Even outside their cities

@cmclymer I've learned that people often wear New York sports merchandise because it's New York.. every time I see a Yankees cap outside of the metro area, I'm reminded that the Yankees aren't really even a team. They're just a brand.

I'm at the airport this morning standing in line to buy some snacks. Guy in front of me is wearing a Knicks cap. I tell him: "Great game last night." He says: "What?" "Oh, the game last night. Game 4. It was a classic." He stares at me. "The Knicks." I point to his cap. He rolls his eyes, says "I didn't watch," and then turns to face away. Okay. Cool. Have a good one.

@uricohenisrael Insane clip? Hes always said and thought this (he's right too)

“Hey Seinfeld, can we get a ‘free Palestine’?” Jerry Seinfeld: “It doesn’t exist”🤣 Jerry Seinfeld is the GOAT 🐐

A naturalist's attempt at marveling at the wonders of life and the universe. Great insight but leaves the reader empty apart from God The Ordinary Miracle of Existing - The Atlantic share.google/C4xSAPbq1hWVHI…

🚨Looking for reading suggestions. Coming up with a summer reading list for my 16 yr old son. He’s an athlete and singer who enjoys history. But he isn’t a big reader. I’d like to find a mix of books that are tailored to his interests and teaches him valuable information about human nature.

@the_moral_abc Raw grit and pushing through. Hard at first but then becomes second nature

how do you guys deal with coming home from work and feeling too exhausted to do anything? this happens to me every day and it's ruining my life

@McJuggerNuggets Your a child murderer

A quick aside: Be careful where you source your information online, whether it’s disturbing propaganda accounts, AI, ragebait fear mongerers,…we’re living in a complicated time and authenticity and empathy will be the most important currencies of the future. Anyway, I can’t wait to see all these words get minced and twisted again so people can grow their followings and stir outrage. It’s a natural ecosystem after all, bottom-feeders have to get their meal too! Hopefully, our story has inspired others to open up more and we can all find understanding. At the end of the day, I’m grateful that the discourse about our decision has spread so wide, it’s clearly a very important and sensitive topic, one that we need to pay more attention to. Thank you to everyone who has been supportive during this difficult time and defending our choice as parents. It means more than you’ll ever know. ❤️ Also, my wife is a bad-ass. Not only did she go through this trauma, but she’s dealing with all the freaks on the Internet in stride. Love you babe. Let’s look to the future! 👶🏼

I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision. The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS. Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity. If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in. What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical. So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do. There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post. On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life. What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…? There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…? The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation. That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear. So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed. There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth. To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future. (CONTINUED)

George Will's son Jon has Down syndrome. In 2013, he wrote this celebrating Jon's 40th birthday.

This man was willing to put in all the work and money it takes to keep a dog with no kidneys alive indefinitely, but he murdered his baby for having Downs Syndrome.

Best history book you’ve read this year?

Great read ! #America250

@DanielGullotta @FUSIONaier worth reading??

Review for @FUSIONaier forthcoming!

@json_lopz @SohrabAhmari @james_billot What ? So the radical Abolitionists during slavery who were out of touch with the times were wrong because they were out of touch?

@rybizz10 @SohrabAhmari @james_billot Yes it does lol. By definition, something out of touch is not fit to deal the times

@EchoesofWarYT @FlemFile wrote a good book about it all - amazon.com/dp/0306828774/…

251 years ago today, a group of Scots-Irish frontiersmen in a log courthouse in Charlotte, North Carolina voted to nullify every British law on the continent, raise their own army, and declare anyone who took orders from the King "an enemy to his country." This was 14 months before the Declaration of Independence. The ink on Lexington and Concord was barely dry. Charlotte in 1775 was not a city. It was 20 cabins clustered around an intersection of two dirt roads called Trade and Tryon. The county had been settled mostly by Presbyterian Scots-Irish who had been chased out of Ulster by English landlords a generation earlier and were in no mood to take orders from another one. When word of the fighting in Massachusetts reached the backcountry, Colonel Thomas Polk, the great uncle of a future President, called every militia captain in Mecklenburg to the courthouse. They drafted 20 resolutions. The third one read: "All Laws and Commissions confirmed by, or derived from the Authority of the King or Parliament, are annulled and vacated." They were not asking for representation. They were not petitioning for redress. They were declaring British law dead on the ground in their county. Then they raised a regiment, elected Polk colonel, and started buying gunpowder. This is where it gets strange. For decades, North Carolinians insisted that 11 days earlier, on May 20, 1775, the same men had adopted an even more radical document: a full Declaration of Independence, predating Jefferson by 14 months and using language so similar to the 1776 Declaration that Jefferson must have plagiarized it. Thomas Jefferson, when shown a copy in 1819, called it "spurious." John Adams was less sure. The original was supposedly lost in a house fire in 1800. No contemporary newspaper printed it. But every old man in Mecklenburg County in 1819 remembered hearing it read aloud. The state of North Carolina sided with the old men. The date May 20, 1775 is on the state flag. It is on the state seal. It is stamped on every license plate in the state. Historians have argued for 200 years about whether the May 20 declaration ever existed. The May 31 Resolves are not in dispute. They are real, they survived in print, and they are arguably the most radical statement made anywhere in the colonies before Lexington Green had even stopped smoking. The Revolution was not declared in Philadelphia in July 1776. It was declared in a log courthouse in Charlotte 251 years ago today, by men whose names no one remembers.
