Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell was asked about Harrison Smith's future:
"You know what, I think Harrison Smith is going to want to play football until he's old and gray, which last I checked, has not happened yet."
BREAKINGNEWS: 3.8% inflation, high foreclosures, small business bankruptcies, gas prices through the roof, 1.2 million layoffs in 2025, real wages down, and war in middle-east, and this idiot is proud of a fucking chart. Unbelievable. 🚨
Comparing a pool that is horizontal to skyscrapers that are vertical is peak insanity.
Why are Republicans allowing this demented clown to embarrass your country like this?
I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.

There’s some quirk in physics where, if there’s a small hole in a bag of mulch it will leak all over your vehicle.
But if you rip a giant hole in the bag and try to dump it out into your landscaping, almost none will fall out.
If you can't tax rich people on the unrealized gains from stocks then why do property taxes on middle class folks keep going up based on the unrealized value of a house?
The people of the Twin Cities are being awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award tonight.
This winter, Minnesotans showed the world what courage looks like. Our state was the center of America's heartbreak, but we were also the center of America's hope.
It’s becoming genuinely painful to watch society grow more ignorant, more cruel, more weird, more stupid, and increasingly stripped of empathy every single day.
It is legitimately a tragedy that the 250th anniversary of this country's birth will be presided over by a president who is EVERYTHING the founders warned us against -- a partisan demagogue who fundamentally loathes the separation of powers and denies election results he dislikes
Graham Platner: “They need us feeling hopeless and blaming our neighbors, or blaming immigrants, or blaming trans kids, blaming some marginalized community for the fact that life got harder for working people. But it wasn’t immigrants, it wasn’t trans kids. It was billionaires.”
The middle class is the most expensive place to live, and no one talks about it. Lower income households get assistance. The wealthy use tax strategies and loopholes. But the middle class pays full taxes, full tuition, full healthcare, full everything. So you work 50 hours a week just to stay in the same place and fund everyone’s life except yours.
Capitalism has ruined people’s worldview, making extreme selfishness and greed seem normal. It’s not humane, or normal, to believe that human beings should be denied shelter, food, and healthcare simply because they have no money. This is dystopian.
