[Fourth-Wall Break]
Overnight, this account tripled in size. Two out of three of you reading this are new here. Welcome!
If you’re not familiar with this model, I post in the present tense, pretending that I’m live in 1776 posting as events are happening.
The principal thing that I want to say to you all is that this account does not exist simply for July 4, 1776. This is an account that covers all events from 250 years ago worldwide, live, in perpetuity. That means that this will continue as long as I do. So don’t click away on the Fourth of July!
I'd like to remind everyone that Sophie Cunningham (@sophaller) was a placekicker and homecoming queen in high school.
Oh, and she had a mean finger pointing game even then.
NEW: WNBA player Alyssa Thomas has been suspended after she cheap-shotted Caitlin Clark in the throat.
No foul was called during the game as Thomas was caught on camera jamming her fist into Clark's throat.
The league has now suspended Thomas for one game and will fine her $1000.
"Per WNBA rule, the League Office has the option, following its review of any game, to reclassify a Flagrant foul or to classify as Flagrant any foul not called as such during a game and may impose a fine and/or suspension," the WNBA said.
✨ MAYFLIES have arrived at our Put-in-Bay Aquatic Visitor Center 😳
Mayflies are a strong indicator of good water quality, as mayflies require clean, oxygen rich environments to thrive.
