Kelvin Kiptum set a new world record marathon time today at 2:00:35.
That’s a 4:36/mile pace…for 26.2 miles — and he beat Eliud Kipchoge’s previous record by 34 seconds.
He is only 23 years old!
That’s one of the greatest athletic achievements ever.
For five months now, America’s dumbest Senator — Tommy Tuberville of Alabama — has put a blanket hold on ALL military promotions. That’s over 250 officers at this point. It's totally unprecedented and poses a real risk to our national security.
Tuberville spits in the face of our military, and Senate Republicans allow him to get away from it. Disgusting.
I'm pretty sure that if I got fired from my job but refused to leave & then sent a bunch of crazy people to bash in the windows, build a gallows to hang my coworker & smear poop on the walls, and then when I finally did leave, I took a mountain of nuclear secrets with me, refused to give them back, moved them all around my gilded golf motel including into my chandelier shitter & showed them off to my pals all while lying about having them in the first place, I wouldn't be allowed to tour the country saying I was never really fired and that I deserve to get my old job back.
But what do I know.
The art of cooking meat over an open flame speaks to me. In it I hear my ancestors. In it’s practice I see my children, teaching something so basic that it has no native tongue. Sharing food connects us all, this is life.
