I'm surprised Countries are still planning to come over here for World Cup play..

Although I suppose they need to make contingency plans.

It's cold and gray: Kalamazoo College students, experts say you have to find ways to cope



Kalamazoo College has such a cool little campus. When I was at WMU we would ride our bikes 🚳 from our dorm over to Kalamazoo College to play tennis 🎾

Much of the focus has rightfully been on staying safe in the extreme cold and navigating dangerous roads, but medical experts say the long stretch of limited sunlight can take a real toll on mental health...

Young Sheldon 'A Black Hole'

I'll admit that I was never a fan of the Big Bang Theory or the early seasons of Young Sheldon.

Having recently stumbled over reruns of Young Sheldon. The last few seasons were pretty good. Specifically the episodes where he went off to college.

The characters added for the college years were brilliantly played by Wendy Malick (X-Files), Wallace Shawn (My Dinner with Andre), and Ed Begley Jr (Star Trek Voyager).

Anywho the Black Hole 🕳️ episode puts a slight spin on the classic Darkest Timeline episode of Community..

AOC: today DHS assassinated a VA nurse .. the president has movie night at the White House ..

Tim Cook of Apple and Lisa Su of AMD along with the usual billionaire traitors showed up to screen Melania

AOC: Today DHS assassinated a VA nurse in the street, Bondi is attempting to extort voter files, and half the country is bracing on the eve of a potentially crippling ice storm with FEMA gutted.

So what is the President up to? Having a movie night at the White House. He’s unfit.

🔥REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “How rich @KristiNoem says showing up with a legal firearm is grounds for execution when they support Rittenhouse & pardon protestors… we cannot go down this road, countryman against countryman… they’re trying to keep us divided so they can line their own pockets.”

I long for the days that Tom Clancy would screen his crappy cold war propaganda films at the White House

I like when PBS sends me advance viewing opportunities. It's an interesting watch, although my eyelid kinda twitches whenever they say "astrobiologist" - especially NOVA. @archaeopteryx2.bsky.social

Former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya files paperwork for Minnesota Senate race



I'm sure they want more MAGA crap in Minnesota from MAGA Michelle Tafoya

Former NFL journalist Michele Tafoya filed paperwork on Tuesday to run for Minnesota Senate, giving a boost to Republicans as they look to flip retiring Sen. Tina Smith’s (D-Minn.) seat.

Tafoya, who worked as a “Sunday Night Football” sideline reporter for NBC Sports Group until 2022, has been widely speculated to be a potential GOP Senate candidate. She has attacked Rep.
