The Carolina #Hurricanes are the team we all thought our hockey team was.

Gritty. Talented. Just fun to watch. Hope they can close it out.

[Chris Safran @ChrisSafran]

Are the #Rockies a definitively better team than they were last year? Yes, without question

Are they also still effectively one of the worst teams in baseball? Also, yes

Just shows how bad last year was.

[Mr. Purple Colorado @MrPurpleCO]

June 4: ⏬The #Rockies record is better than 0 other #MLB teams (0% of the league).

😭 it’s beautiful!

… yet”

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

“That photo of me stealing the Lectern going viral still haunts me and impacts me to this day, and has caused irreparable harm to my family”

Says Dan, 42, who goes by “The Lectern Guy” on social and has the cover photo, avatar photo and header of him stealing the Lectern.

[The Lectern Guy🇺🇸 @lecternleader]

On a serious note, I am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week. Maybe I'll fly to DC and deliver it personally.

My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books. What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods.

I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey.

My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life.

Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist.

My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security.

USF denied my reentry into college.

I had to fight to get my guns rights back.

My children and myself were subjected to additional screenings by the TSA.

My federal probation officer tried to stop me from speaking out on @Timcast warning that more death threats might come if I choose to talk.

My attorney fees were 100k, I was fined 5k and I lost five years of my life to date fighting the lies they told about me.

We spent an additional 150k in publicity trying to clear my name and restore my reputation.

The DOJ could've chosen to release the evidence clearing my name but withheld it. They maliciously charged me with felony theft.

We lost things that can never be restored but if they choose to do the right thing and restore the J6ers, we can finally finish setting things right.

Great map for Civ, honestly

here is what mars might look like if you filled the oceans and let the simulation run for a million years or so

[Chris Safran @ChrisSafran]

I’m not a sports optimist. Far from it.

The @Avalanche were 27-7-5 on the road this season. 13 sets of back-to-back road wins this year, one in the playoffs a few weeks ago.

Pick any 5 game season stretch, they had 36 windows of 4 wins out of 5.

They can do this. @avsstats

Was thinking about this last night for some reason. In nearly every space movie where humans colonize the Moon, the buildings all have normal Earth-gravity inside.

Do we even know how to do that yet? We haven’t even simulated centrifugal gravity in orbit, right?

[NASA @NASA]

We're building a Moon Base!

@NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions.

Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: https://t.co/IJXA7xYwju

Can I live inside one of the utility closets at Coors Field and work from home?

[Robert Stock @RobertStock6]

$58k/yr for these skills…am I missing something? I don’t know jack about the job market (and hopefully will never have to), but damn

[Chris Safran @ChrisSafran]

@FlintCasey How much would you pay a month for access to a vehicle, unlimited trips, 90% of the time the car is < 15min away?

No driving. No gas or charging, no insurance, registration or licensing. No maintenance, parking or tickets.

Maybe on the weekends, a larger car for longer trips?

[Chris Safran @ChrisSafran]

@JerodMacEvoy My favorite is driving in the middle of 6 lanes, going maybe 5-7mph over the speed limit, probably 3 open lanes to your left for passing…

and a lifted F350 will come up behind you going 98mph, tailgate and then pass you on the right in the temporary exit lane

[Chris Safran @ChrisSafran]

I grew up on NHL video games. Sometimes, when you needed to get a win, you go into settings and adjust the player sliders to dominate the computer.

Thats what it’s like watching the @Avalanche play.

[Chris Safran @ChrisSafran]

If the #Avalanche have suddenly unlocked their power play efficiency… I have three words for any opponent.

Good. Freaking. Luck.

@Waymo Here's a helpful chart to use when deciding, @NathanHarden

[Chris Safran @ChrisSafran]

You do this to SGA and your spending the next year in a max security prison.

[HeroOfTheDay @Hero_OfThe_Day]

Teams can’t touch Shai, but Gobert is allowed to hold onto Nikola Jokic as he drives, then grab him around the waist and high five him while he’s attempting a shot. Not a foul, apparently.

Seems fair, @NBA!! 🔥🔥

[Chris Safran @ChrisSafran]

David Adelman is a low energy, apathetic presence and his players emulate and mimic that energy on the court.
