But the people of Gaza still need a hot meal. Yesterday, we served 80,000+ meals—and we are ready to start cooking again the moment that aid trucks make it safely to our field kitchens. Read more: wck.org/news/gaza-update-7-20 (2/2)

Our teams in Gaza have again run out of food to cook. We have finished all the stock in hand, and our trucks are stuck at the border. We are continuing to bake bread and deliver water. #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

punting on 2nd and 3 at the opponent’s 20 is something we will never ever see in football, because if a coach was trying to throw a game there are many more subtle ways of doing so. this is probably the closest thing to that we’re likely to see

Well, I have successfully made it in (and now, thank god, out) of the United States.
Idk if/when I will be back—which is sad, because I love US folks.
Once again, they did not make it easy. I will explain.

I was supposed to discuss our book *The End of College Football* tonight in Washington, DC.
I won't be there because I was denied entry to the United States.
They refused to say why; my best guess is some combo of the inauguration, politics, Palestine, and maybe, a new normal.

IMLS is the Institute of Museum and Library Services. It's about $200 million per year for libraries and $50 million for museums. Not a lot for the federal budget, but a huge piece of the culture and knowledge system - which is why MAGA is eliminating it.
This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is going to kill many public libraries, especially in rural areas. If you use a public library, you will be impacted. #imls is a dust mote in the federal budget. It also provides things like internet at your local library so people can apply for jobs and kids can do homework.
