I don’t normally watch boxing, but when I do it’s to watch Tate and Paul get knocked the eff out.

We are the best - at losing.

Ahh, Fiorentina. Our defending is abysmal, midfield is a step slow, attack is non-existent, and our goalkeeping is sub-par.

Can we get the fog to roll back in so we don't have to watch this team?
Lausanne (4-3-1-2): Letica; Fofana, Sow, Mouanga, Soppy; Sigua, Roche, Lekoueiry; Kana-Biyik; Bair, Butler-Oyedeji

Fiorentina (3-5-2): Martinelli; Viti, Marí, Pongračić; Kouamé, Sohm, Nicolussi Caviglia, Richardson, Kouadio; Piccoli, Džeko www.violanation.com/conference-l...

The driver was issued a citation, but presumably still has a drivers license - despite hitting and running over a woman twice with their truck.

He says the economy is just fine - but let's take a look.

In February I paid $80 for a 5-pound bag of coffee. Last week, that same bag cost $110.

That's a 37.5% price increase in 10 months.

I always assumed the dotted line was a morse message to wear bright clothing.
Local school kids "super excited" for when the dotted painted bike lane is finished and becomes a solid line.

Because it's the off-season, here are two Formula 1 rule change I would love to see:

1) Unless you're switching between wet and dry compounds, you must keep the same tire compound that you had when the red flag was waved.

2) In order to get points, you must finish on the lead lap.

Good trouble
Hennepin County dispatch got a panicked call from a Department of Homeland Security supervisor in Minneapolis requesting assistance because “we only have a few officers but we have 60-70 agitators fighting them.” Hennepin deputies didn’t witness any attacks on agents.

I was one of the first 5,000 Twitter users. I posted by texting 40404. I was using it before hashtags had been created. I deeply miss OG Twitter.

But as the old adage goes, if you’re in a bar, a Nazi walks and isn’t immediately kicked out, you’re in a Nazi bar - Twitter is a Nazi platform.
Dear Bluesky liberals. Come back to Twitter. Please. PLEASE.

I’m convinced my newborn will begin walking before we get a win.
At least Fiorentina will have a chance to celebrate its centennial with a trophy. Even if it's Serie B. www.violanation.com/serie-a/2073...

This happened in my city last week.

Since it seems like the entire world is obsessing over the potential dangers of teens riding ebikes lately, I feel like a reminder is in order: drivers are far and away the greatest threat to your kid and everyone else on the road, and always will be.
