My school emails were FOIAed because books in my libraries had LGBTQ characters. Now I hang out all day with my wife and dogs. 1990 MSU grad.

Even though Warner Bros is terrified to release any cartoons with Speedy Gonzales, we have never met anyone, including Latino, Mexican, Brazilian or anyone, that has found him offensive. In fact they say how much they loved him.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

Nick’s assertion that the Republican party that freed the slaves is the same Republican party of today is foolish. Let Uncle Luke speak.
Luther Luke Campbell@unclelukereal1

Let the adult in the room speak. To Nick Cannon and Chilli — I say this with love, but also with truth. What y’all are saying right now… in my opinion… is dead wrong. Now let me be clear — I’m the one who fought all the way to the Supreme Court for free speech. So I respect your right to say whatever you want. That’s a fact. But this hits different. Because the same Black people you’re turning your backs on… The same Black women you’re dismissing… Those are the same people who built you. They buy your tickets. They watch your shows. They support your careers. And now you’re aligning with a man — Donald Trump — who has openly disrespected Black women, including Michelle Obama, and countless other accomplished Black women. Let’s talk facts: Our people depend on the Department of Education. Our people depend on HUD. Our people depend on opportunity — not having their achievements dismissed as “DEI.” This same man has: •Tried to erase Black history •Limited what our children can learn •Praised and pardoned officers involved in killing unarmed Black men So don’t act like this is just politics. This is personal. Nick, you were right about one thing — yes, a Republican president signed the law freeing enslaved Africans. That’s history. But you left out everything that happened AFTER that. You left out where today’s MAGA movement stands. You left out who has consistently fought for civil rights, voting rights, and opportunity. If it was left up to them right now, they’d take us backwards — not forward. And let’s be real… If they truly cared about Black people — about Foundational Black Americans, descendants of slaves — we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. We’d be talking about reparations. So I’m not coming at y’all with hate… I’m coming at you with responsibility. Because influence comes with accountability. And right now… y’all on the wrong side of this one. And people keep asking me why I’m running for Congress — this is exactly why. To stand up. To speak out. To fight for our people when others won’t. Go to my website, support the fight, and join the team: luthercampbellforcongress.com Make sure you’re on the right side of history.

@ACumbow Finding a guy with B1G size, who can come in , RB, rim protect and play ball screens is crucial. Still like Jesse but he needs more leg strength to raise his game and can't count on it to come this year, although it was year 3 when Jax got there enough to contribute big.

Roster season is here. Worst time of the year. Eligible players to return: Fears Carr Glenn Teng McCulloch Divine Scott Ward Incoming players: Medlock Jervis Taylor Avent Thoughts: 1. Have to find a way to retain Fears and Carr which I think happens but that’s a must. 2. Probably will be a transfer or two out. I hate speculating on transfers but I’d be pretty surprised to see all the guards back. 3. HAVE to land a center. I love Taylor coming in but it’s gonna take some time. Can’t put too much pressure on him in year one. 4. I think fans myself included are going to absolutely love Medlock and Jervis from day one. These two kids are truly offensively gifted hoopers that will be fun to watch. Add it all up and there’s no reason MSU shouldn’t be in the hunt next year. I hate “all or nothing” in College Basketball but next year is truly an all in type of year. Izz will be 72 and the Final Four is in Detroit. Thoughts?

Anybody who has been around for a while knows I like to make these puzzles. Popular 90s band. First one who gets the answer gets a gold star.

It’s the best picture I could take of the first ring-necked pheasants I have seen in 30 years living in Grand Haven.

On my 30th birthday, my friends surprised me by taking me roller skating. I was skating FAST to some 80s song and having the time of my life...and was suddenly SHOVED in the back and crashed out, slamming into the wall. I couldn't even stand up. My friends came to help me. 1/2

Story 6: Mechanopolis by Miguel de Unamuno (1913)🇪🇸 A pretty bare bones story when it comes to plot and character but fascinatingly prophetic when it comes to the main idea. A story written before WWI warning about automation is just wild to me. C
