The atmosphere and game were amazing! 1,00’s of people pre-gaming at Bridgeway and a sellout crowd. Perfect way to open a new stadium!!!

@GVLTriumph has a great new home!

[Greenville Triumph SC @GVLTriumph]

A new home. A new era. A winning start. 🏟️🙌

I know we get lost in the chaos of NIL and the transfer portal

But, listening to West Virginia’s Armani Guzman, a young man from New York, singing ‘Country Roads’ is so darn wholesome.

College Sports still deliver

[cosmoscon @CosmosconBlog]

They have one of the best college songs in the nation. I want to go to a WVU football game once just to sing this!

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

WVU walks it off & has the entire stadium singing Country Roads

Chills

I hope this lights a fire into all UK citizens. They aren’t going to vote their way out of this.

Starmer is a horrible person and deserves to be handed over to the crime infested streets he helped create.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

This an awful, shocking case.

Henry’s loved ones have gone through the trauma of a long trial and endured Henry's killer making up appalling claims about their son who was thoughtful, kind and deeply loved.

It is right that the IOPC is investigating the police’s response to his senseless murder. And we must end the cycle of tragedy by tackling the horror of knife crime.

Henry’s family, friends, his university and the city of Southampton will continue to feel his loss, and our thoughts will always be with them.

If this doesn’t cause an awakening in the UK then nothing will. The country will be lost.

BREAKING: UK Police release bodycam footage of Henry Nowak’s arrest and m*rder

You can see Henry struggle to breathe as he tries to tell the officers he was stabbed. They dismiss his pleas, cuff him, then read him his rights as he's dying in front of them.

These officers belong in prison!

@TigerGirl102250 I tear it off after 30 minutes! Never an issue for me!

Has anyone checked in on @3YearLetterman?

Negativity THROUGH THE ROOF in Athens 📈

Tre Phelps gets tossed for a long drawn out pimp job and his coach his tosses for arguing it. INSANITY

@nogooddeed2 GORGEOUS!!!!

[Sturdy Jenn @nogooddeed2]

The show.

Oh to have the life of a Shih Tzu. She just spent 10 minutes chasing squirrels and now she’s wiped out.

@dawny005 Hope all goes well and you get a good report!!

[cosmoscon @CosmosconBlog]

@Marty_FTT I love it so far! But you’re right, there is a lot more with the watch menus and apps to get acquainted with!

[cosmoscon @CosmosconBlog]

I have owned a Fitbit since they were introduced. I was a huge fan and about every 2 years I bought a new one. Until now…..

My Fitbit gave up the ghost several months ago and when I looked at the product offerings and features I was underwhelmed. No new advances, same old models and the new models won’t work with iOS.

So now I made the switch to a Garmin!
