Father of 3 incredible daughters. I have no idea where you go in your head.. to “sympathize” with this. Absolutely disgusting.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

This reminds me of when I went to a pet store with my first Pit. Naively asked the cashier if they had any “indestructible” toys? Her reply.. “Maybe try a muffler next store at the auto shop?” 😂
This is Finn. He may have plenty of toys, but he refuses to play with anything other than a concrete block. 13/10 to each their own (TT: emilyyheide)

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

The bottom of the 9th makes me feel a LITTLE better going forward. Snell is doing things I’ve never seen in this lifetime. Unbelievable.
Final: Dodgers 2, Brewers 1

After Blake Snell delivered one of the most dominant playoff pitching performances you'll see, the Brewers threatened against Roki Sasaki but leave the bases loaded. Turang strikes out after bailing on a slider inside. An agonizing finish.

The series: Dodgers lead, 1-0

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

One thing that really hits you when you're directly affected by gun violence in schools is that there's nowhere to hide. Public, private, religious, whatever - unless you're going to homeschool your kids, we live in a world where they're at risk of something like this happening.

We had a horrific emergency involving our kids today and right now I'm just sitting at my computer in a daze and in shock. Thankfully they are okay but others are less fortunate.

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Arbitrary cutoff, sure. But the Brewers' 44-16 record over their last 60 is their best in any 60-game stretch in a season in franchise history.
