I just checked the UNC game. I'd say Belichick's day is worse!
This seems to be a nice gathering place for authors. If you see me on here a lot, please tell me to get back to work on my WIP - a medical suspense novel about measles! Seattle Storm, Reign, Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Seawolves, and Sounders fan.

Welp, that was not much fun. Now it's time to root for Tyler Locklear and the Diamondbacks, who are leading the Rangers 5 to 3 in the top of the 7th. #GoMs 🔱

Ok, the Ms still have two outs to salvage this thing, but in case that doesn't happen, at least it's fun seeing how happy it makes other teams when they beat the Ms.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

If I still spoke to any trump supporters, I'd ask them how it makes their lives better to round up and ship 600 children out of the country unaccompanied. That's not national security, it's just cruelty.

He went with one of their farm teams for a minute and within a couple of days was with the Rangers. I want him to do well and be happy, but I'm still sad he struggled so much with the Ms. Also, I saw earlier that he was actually drafted by them originally so it makes sense he'd go there.

I am gobsmacked, Matt. And I agree with you. When I first heard about it, I thought it was just a rumor. But when one of the sources is a US congressman, that bumps up the credibility by a lot. I really preferred last night's fantasy over this development.

Americans are begging for Democratic leadership to get off the mat and back into the fight. If you’re a political leader in this country and are not prepared to fight with both hands, not prepared to make “good trouble”, then perhaps you should step aside and make space for those who will. #Velshi.

Following Trump's deployment of the National Guard and a surge of federal law enforcement to D.C., it's critical that people can identify with whom they are interacting and that they document those interactions. Our guide helps distinguish between federal law enforcement and U.S. armed forces.🧵

I want to believe, but that intersection is the Dulles access road, about 20 miles away from Walter Reed Army Hospital. And I don't think there are any particularly distinguished hospitals in that area.
