@ashleyschendel North Carolina has you beat. All that, plus beaches!!!

@EricEdmeades @simonmaechling The difference being that the data are there to be reviewed, and there is an established methodology to refute conclusions drawn from it. No such mechanism for science skeptics.

@HasanIQtest @simonmaechling Is this meant to be humorous? You're literally illustrating his point. Instead of attacking his argument, you seek to undermine his credibility.

@Liz41525875 @geniebouchard Evidence, or just bloviation?

[Alex George @AlexGeorge27]

@geniebouchard Most GI viruses are passed on by direct contact with contaminated surfaces or fluids (the oh-so-lovely "fecal-oral transmission"). Some can be spread by droplets over a few feet. Hand hygiene and spacing pretty much negate the risk.

@wagsischasing This is an extraordinary and extremely defamatory claim. Do you have a shred of evidence to back up your "100%" assertion? If not, please refrain from casting aspersions on athletes who give their all to their sport.

@Jovan333 @Martina @greta @ChrissieEvert Speak for yourself! Two pioneers and trailblazers, and not just in women’s tennis. Still highly influential and relevant. I for one am keen to watch this program.

@Papa_Heme That was a little reckless, don’t you think? Not to mention unethical.

@realCarola2Hope With respect, I have a hard time believing that God cares how we position our hands during prayer. I think He cares much more that we are at Mass and that our hearts are turned to Him.

@GeoRebekah I don’t know anything about how qualified this physician is, but as an M.D., I will speak up and say that D.O.s are fully qualified physicians and that some of the colleagues I respect the most are D.O.s. “Osteopath” should not be an aspersion.

@TheTennisLetter Class response!!

a friend called me today. his wife has cancer.

5 months. that’s all it took to erase 20 years of savings. two degrees, zero credit card debt, a paid down mortgage, a retirement account they were proud of.

they did everything Dave Ramsey, their parents, and every financial advisor told them to do.

5 months of treatment wiped all of it out. with insurance. he refinanced the house just to keep her alive. 15 years of equity.

gone.

he told me it turned him into a bitter, hateful person. but he’s not bitter. he’s just a man who played by every rule and still lost everything.

and somewhere in America right now there are thousands of families in the exact same position. doing everything right. losing everything anyway.

this is not a healthcare system. it’s a hostage situation.

and we’re supposed to be proud of it.

My unpopular opinion is that Biden’s econ team achieved their stated goal of world class Covid recovery, avoided recession (once thought inevitable), prioritized employment, navigated global inflation, and delivered benefits to the working class. it’s just that voters hated it.

@Chesschick01 My favorite is: "When you go home/tell them of us, and say/that for their tomorrow/we gave our today."

[Alex George @AlexGeorge27]

@Chesschick01 Think also, but perhaps less charitably, about the duplicitous politician who sent that boy to his death. "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori," after all!

@jenteach13 Teachers definitely deserve better pay and working conditions, but the fundamental problem with American education is students who come to school unprepared to learn because their parents cannot or will not prepare them.

@rolandgarros Sad! Such beautiful technique, and so quick on his feet!

@AlexTran677026 Amazing film. Bleeding-edge cynical, but also with heart to spare! The entire cast were spectacular!
