Comms and campaigns guy. Worked with a whole bunch of orgs and campaigns--some more fun than others. Don't know what I'm doing, but maybe I'll figure it out one day. (he/him)

The starting guards are awful. I don’t know what the fix is, but watching Boogie and Lee out there is painful.
FINAL: No. 10 Florida #Gators fall 84-80 to TCU as guard play, miscues again doom UF. Real bad loss.
Todd Golden has a lot of work to do, decisions to make.
▪️ TCU: 16-6 to end
▪️ UF: 18 TO
▪️ Boogie Fland: Fouled out
▪️ Xaivian Lee: 1/6, 1a, fouled out
▪️ Alex Condon: 2/5 FG, 0/3 3PT, 4/7 FT

There are some shots which are so good, so utterly arresting, that even when you’ve seen the movie many times before, you remain in awe of it. This is one of those.
Also, I completely forgot how devastating a line “Noodles, I slipped” was. Oof.

No idea if they’d call off the briefing because of this, but I’m seeing reports of a possible national guard involved shooting in Farragut Square.
is there a WH press briefing today?

Horrifying read. We absolutely need to get this shit under control before someone makes good on their threats. You want to bet on sports? Fine. Go to a sportsbook, casino, or track. The apps and advertising have to go before someone gets hurt.
