Happy to talk boxing and astronomy. Will grudgingly discuss politics. Other topics negotiable. Would rather be climbing something.

My personal pound-for-pound Rushmore is pretty much locked, but Ezz might come closest of anyone to breaking into that top 4. Definitely my current all-time p4p number 5. Despite his very real plaudits, he still sometimes seems underappreciated.

Ezzard Charles, aka The Cincinnati Cobra, one of the all-time best, at any weight. Established his greatness at 175 and later ruled the big men with wins over Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Louis, J. Bivins, Joey Maxim, Lee Oma, J. Baksi & Elmer Ray. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing

The Hilton family is a fascinating example of simultaneous success and tragedy. A ton of unfulfilled promise, but there were some legit triumphs.

"And so Hilton hammered away, forcing Drayton to fight his fight, one where his greater strength and power were the difference." It was #OnThisDay, the "Moment of Truth" in Montreal for the Hilton clan. Check it out: https://t.co/d1a0EnaO8U #Boxing #History #OTD

@7NewsDC What's with the bootlicking? Why are you helping authoritarians hurt somebody who briefly touched public water?

[Hunter Breckenridge @HunterBreck]

@SecKennedy This is a monstrously evil lie. I'm looking forward to your trial in a few years.

[Hunter Breckenridge @HunterBreck]

I was already thinking this when he would opine on boxing. Now that he's talking about things of consequence, it's even worse.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Sincerely, fuck Stephen A. I fucking hate this asshole. Like who died and decided he should have a platform to opine on any topic under the sun.

[Hunter Breckenridge @HunterBreck]

@DOWResponse @SecWar He didn't complete a single rep there. How pathetic. Meanwhile, what's going on with the Strait of Hormuz?

Your husband committed treason as part of an attempted authoritarian takeover of the country. And you're upset that the agents arresting this traitor were armed?

Far too many of my fellow Americans are deranged lunatics.

[Kari Hoffman @KariHoffman2020]

These are the guns that were used to wake my children and my nieces and nephews from bed. All TWELVE of them.
The children were surrounded by a bunch of agents with them in our garage, the entire time they were here.

Even some officers apologized for what they were doing to us. They knew it was wrong but they had to to their jobs.

They saw myself and my older son recording and they took our phones.

Nothing about what they did was appropriate.

From top to bottom.

Trump has a scandal that would end almost any other president in history like once a week

[Wheeljack @SJWheeljack]

It should be a bigger story that Donald Trump inherited a completely recovered economy from the Biden administration and then proceeded to destroy it by inventing a series of financial crises out of thin air as a result of dementia-induced psychosis.

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

The Biden administration actually led the best economic recovery in the world but voters hated it b/c prices went up post-covid.

So instead, they saw the lifelong con-man/pathological liar say "I will lower prices on day one" (with not a single plan to back it up) and millions of people believed him.

And now we reap the obvious results of said con-man. What a tremendously stupid country.

[Jamesetta Williams 💕 @jamesetta_w]

Response to this article has been telling. There’s now established precedent for GOP packing their courts, defying their own state constitutions and cancelling elections to achieve redistricting aims and it’s sort of covered like clever electoral strategy. Democrats merely suggest doing the same in VA and a lot of the commentary is like “silly Dems why are you being so hysterical, that would be stupid and unpopular. GOP just gets to cheat, deal with it”

It is this way on countless issues.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Joe Biden was the most worker-friendly president of the postwar era. His economic policies quickly got the economy back to full employment. He appointed Lina Khan to run antitrust policy. He saved the NLRB from what Trump had done to it. And he was incredibly unpopular.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

It is beyond stupid to pretend like the housing crisis is the fault of AirBnb. At the absolute most they are a tiny, tiny contributor.

The root cause of the housing crisis is generations of politicians who made it impossible to build housing. That's it. That's the whole thing.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Partisan gerrymandering should be unconstitutional in every state. It's pure Soviet politics, allowing the people in power to rig the system to ensure they stay in power.

What's particularly disgusting is what is happening in Florida, where voters overwhelmingly voted to make partisan gerrymandering unconstitutional, and then Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans decided to explicitly ignore the will of voters and pass an unconstitutional bill, counting on the GOP-packed state Supreme Court to bail them out. It's vile behavior.

[SK Media @SpaghettiKozak]

This is the America Trump wants. Protect your daughters. Protect your sisters. Stop GOPedos.

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

Republican states are just allowed to jam through comical gerrymanders (even after people have started voting) and Dem states do it the 'proper' way and it gets blown up.

Just completely different rules. Hard not to feel like the deck is completely stacked against us.

[Hunter Breckenridge @HunterBreck]

@magi_jay @trouble_man90 Folks like Hasan already believe Republicans have no agency, and everything they do is the fault of Democrats. It's not a surprise he doesn't understand Obama's point.

[Hunter Breckenridge @HunterBreck]

@magi_jay @trouble_man90 There will always be conservatives in the electorate, and they obviously need representation. It would be good if that representation was sane and responsible. Sure, I'd prefer a strong majority for the liberal side, but the conservatives still exist.

[Hunter Breckenridge @HunterBreck]

@jonfavs His incessant lies about things that should be automatic dealbreakers aren't enough for you, huh? We're gonna be getting another Fetterman, and you don't seem to care or understand.
