These tornadoes from 20 years ago today mean a lot to me because they were amazing, and because it was a brief window of pure freedom: Eric Nguyen, Scott Blair, and me had all graduated various degree programs and, with no jobs lined up yet, we chased until the money ran out. youtu.be/RspFa7VFfjk

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

That is so awful.

I thought they’d pinch hit for him a minute ago and we wouldn’t see him again. It’s not like they don’t have viable options. But he’s eating pain like nails—(and like whatever OxyContin derivative he’s on). I agree it’s hard to see him tomorrow. The soreness will be insane.

Can he reacquire the Thirteen Colonies?

If Charles “initiated a formal process” that deprives Andrew of the Duke of York title, and it doesn’t go through Parliament, then it’s the first time that the monarchy’s prerogative powers have grown instead of shrunk in centuries.

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

Smoltz says it's just a "pulse check." Snell's going to need a defibrillator soon.

Amos Magliocco @amosmagliocco.bsky.social · 2d

This reminds me--and I don't think I have ever in my life brought up this game unsolicited--Smoltz has never said if he should have been removed from Game 7.

I don't think. I guess I haven't heard all ten million words from him on TV.

No, political fundraising text messenger, there is nothing you can say to "change my mind."

Someone in downtown Denton (TX) carried this sign around the courthouse today.

Protester carries sign reading "Mike Johnson blocked me on Grindr. "

If you can donate, the North Texas Food Bank accepts donations via Amazon wishlist. Probably the fastest and most convenient way to get them supplied with exactly what the people they serve need directly to their doorstep, and you don't even need to leave your desk. ntfb.org/get-involved...

You VERY rarely ever see a satellite presentation like this anywhere in the world. And you certainly don't expect to see it this close to a mountainous island.
As of 5am EDT on Tuesday, #Melissa is the 8th strongest Atlantic hurricane on record by central pressure (901 mb).

DFW Metroplexers, here's how to help when SNAP benefits stop on Nov 1: www.dmagazine.com/micropost/sn...
