Silly adult who obsesses over sports entirely too much. I teach high school on the side. Trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. Live in Indy, born/raised in IL which means Cubs/Bears/Hawks/Illini. NeverTrumper.
Nuggets just need to accept this as the “Westbrook Game” and not go down that road again lest they see the dark side of Russ (which was teased tonight)…

Not really interested in hearing anyone with the Los Angeles Dodgers talking next week about how important Jackie Robinson was when they all smiled and posed today with a white supremacist trying extra hard to re-segregate society.

There are SO many talented designers who could crush city connect uniforms. Look at what Murakami just did for Japan series. But I’m guessing the cream of the crop is too expensive. So MLB pushes truly ugly gear as awesome!! so you’ll buy another Juan Soto jersey. Missed potential makes me sad.
I feel like I’m losing my mind. Literally everything he’s wearing is clashing. Those pants and that top look like they’re going to two separate events. Fat stripes, thin stripes. Awful purple shade with that wet cement grey. Blue accessory in back pocket distracting from everything. Help me

Bob Asmussen | For Illinois fans, nothing fantastic about these four

If you are under 40, you might not know about Auburn coach Bruce Pearl’s connection to Illinois. While he was on Tom Davis’ staff at Iowa, Pearl tried to implicate Illinois of cheating in the recruitment of Deon Thomas.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

I miss the days when “Christians” cared more about what the Bible says than what Fox News says. Or they cared more about what Christ said and did than what Republicans say/do.

Did I mention I’m a Christian myself? #reconstructing

It's #OpeningDay!!! Yes, my team didn't win but it's still the best day of the year. Listened to Pat and Ron on pregame for the drive in to school. Arrived at 6:00am in order to watch In my classroom with my custom Wrigleyville Jordan's...and my Dad showed up too. :)

Saw a LinkedIn post this morning from a person in law enforcement saying they rewatched the Zelensky/Trump debacle. They went on to say Z came in with “his chest puffed out” and DJT/JD rightfully put him in his place. Are you kidding me with this?
G-T-F-O!

NEW: Indiana already has stringent voter ID rules... & the GOP is advancing a bill right now to strip university IDs from the list of options you can use.

This would make it much harder for students to vote.

At polling site at IU Bloomington, 2/3rds of voters in November used their student IDs.

The new restriction, paired with Indiana’s stringent voter ID rules, would make it much harder for many young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout.

It’s about 160 million in 24 hours at peak. It’s a few dozen in a few minutes at a polling place. This not strenuous for a computer.
Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."

According to the President of the NCAA (see below), there are 510,000 athletes competing in NCAA sports. He knows of LESS THAN TEN. They are purposely distracting the religious right with this minutiae while they’re stabbing EVERYONE in the back. He’s a petulant child. www.kget.com/sports/ncaa-...

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

And yet, SOMEHOW, the GOP in Indiana keeps winning by wanting to “improve schools” when they’ve been in control for quite some time. Remind me the definition of insanity again…? WAKE UP INDIANA!!
