@barryisthedon Upsetting a top ranked team (?Nebraska) in the early 1970s at Camp Randall. It came down to a final drive and I think Alan (A-Train) Thompson had a big catch or run. AMAZING!

What is your happiest memory as a Wisconsin Football fan? 🤔 I'll go first: State Street after clinching the Rose Bowl with a win in Tokyo

@chefsevenn Get up at the same time every day whether you feel like it or not

I’m 28. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@honeymoon250 Bueller, Bueller …

If you know what movie this picture is from I will follow you?

@salonimig If you like memoirs, All the Strange Hours (1975). Loren Eiseley. If you like thrillers, Secret of Secrets (2025). Dan Brown or Conclave (2016). Robert Harris

Please drop your absolute top-tier book recommendations because I am in the slumpiest of reading slumps

Hot take: your story doesn’t need to be perfect… it needs to be finished. You can fix messy prose. You can patch plot holes. You can rewrite entire chapters. But you can’t edit a blank page. Write it messy. Write it tired. Write it anyway. That’s where the real magic starts.

@esglaude Visit small towns not DC. Social Contacts are alive and well in communities that know and trust each other. Most of our lives are not clouded by the obfuscation of Social Media. Some (often the happiest) don’t sign into it at all

I don’t know what the social contract is in this country. I am not even sure we have an idea of the public good (beyond allowing rich people to get richer and waging war). What is our obligation to each other as Americans? What constitutes the basis of our living together?

@MandyLSimard Well, if you had mint last year, you probably won’t have to replant

To plant mint or not to plant mint this season… that is the question 🌿😄

“Why did God create evil?” [This is probably the best answer I’ve ever heard to that question.] A university professor asked his students: “Was everything that exists created by God?” One student bravely replied:

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.” — Søren Kierkegaard

@BuzzPatterson I believe my WII uncle called it Shit on a Shingle

Do you know what this is? I’ll tell you what it is. It’s Heaven at 3 AM in an Air Force dining hall.

Christina Koch was a firefighter at the South Pole at -111°F before she ever applied to be an astronaut. That was maybe the fourth most interesting line on her resume. She grew up in North Carolina, got three degrees from NC State, and her first real job was building deep-space instruments at NASA. Then she left for Antarctica. Spent three and a half years bouncing between the Arctic and Antarctic as a research scientist, including a full winter at the South Pole base. That means going months without sunlight or fresh food, with a crew of about 50 people and no way out until flights resume. While she was down there, she also joined the glacier search-and-rescue team. After coming back, she went to Johns Hopkins and built instruments for two NASA missions (one of them is still orbiting Jupiter right now). She figured out how to start a tiny vacuum pump that NASA designed for a future Mars rover. Johns Hopkins nominated it for their Invention of the Year in 2009. Then she went back to the field. More time in Antarctica and a stretch up in Greenland. A government research station in northern Alaska, near the top of the world. Then she ran another one in American Samoa, near the equator. In 2013, NASA selected her from 6,300 applicants. Eight people got in. Her first space mission was supposed to be a normal rotation on the International Space Station, but NASA extended it. She ended up staying 328 straight days and orbiting Earth 5,248 times, covering about 139 million miles (roughly 291 round trips to the Moon). Up there, she ran over 210 experiments, including tests of cancer drugs in zero gravity and 3D printers that can build structures close to human tissue. Six spacewalks, 42 hours floating outside the station. She learned Russian for the training. She flies supersonic jets. Right now, Koch is on Artemis II, heading for a flyby behind the far side of the Moon. The crew launched on April 1 and is on track to travel about 252,000 miles from Earth, which would break the all-time human distance record of 248,655 miles set by Apollo 13 in 1970. That record has stood for 56 years, and it was set during a disaster that nearly killed the crew. Fred Haise, one of the Apollo 13 astronauts, is 92 now. He told Koch: "I heard you're going to break our record." Nobody had left Earth's neighborhood since December 1972. Koch and her three crewmates are the first in 53 years, and they are coming home at about 25,000 mph. That is faster than any crewed spacecraft has ever come back through the atmosphere.

@theliamnissan Oh yes. He’s wanted to use nukes since his first term. Too many adults then. Now he has a target that is largely defenseless and adults have been cleared from the room

Trump wants to use tactical nukes on Iran, and he just fired EVERY general that's against it. Let that sink in folks

The “La Marseillaise” scene in Casablanca (1942) still lands with staggering power. Many extras were actual refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe, which is why it feels so painfully genuine.

BREAKING: The U.S. government will now insure losses up to $40 billion for oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz. But they can’t insure you if you get cancer or have a heart attack. Big oil is more important than your life in Trump’s America. Did you vote for that?

President Macron scolds the US and Israel for attacking Iran, "The day you say I don't like your regime, I consider you threatening your neighbour so I will intervene and bomb you, you open a Pandora's box" "Iran is a very bad regime, no discussion about that. I disagree with on a lot of topics" "But I don't agree we will fix the situation just by bombings or military operations" "Look at what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya - we never delivered. Never" "You have to respect the sovereignty of people, if people want to change a regime, they can do so" "Having an agenda shared by Korea, France, the other Europeans, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, Australia, you start having a third way" "Those who don't want to be dependent on China, or aligned by definition, on the US"

Trump was warned this would happen. He did it anyway. Now, over 10,000 Veterans lost their homes. 90,000 more are on track for foreclosure. On top of cutting jobs, slashing benefits and throwing our heroes into an unnecessary war. The most anti-Veteran President in history.

@JasonJournoDC @DailyCaller OK, then run

🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith: "Do I believe I would take Gavin Newsom out? Yes, I do. Do I believe I would go against Kamala and beat her? Yes, I do." "I think I’d beat MOST of the Democratic Party. Because there’s too much dancing — and I don’t dance." @DailyCaller

Let's be clear: Red Lobster went bankrupt after private equity bought the chain, loaded it up with debt, and gutted it.

If you think Bruce Springsteen should shut up about politics and just play his songs, you obviously have no idea what Bruce Springsteen has been singing about for the past 50 years loudersound.com/bands-artists/…

Boss: We are not allowed to work-from-home. Employee: Okay. Boss: The client texted you at 9pm yesterday. Why did you not respond? Employee: We are not allowed to work-from-home.
