@SFGiants Mike, thank you for a lifetime of memories. Your voice, along with Duane, Jon, Dave, and Lon has made my summers, falls, 4 post seasons memories I carry the rest of my life and tell my childern and granchildren about. I wish you only the best going forward. THANK YOU!
Lamont Wade Jr. has been a good Giant. It would be really cool if Giants fans gave him a standing ovation before his first at-bat when the team gets back home. A “Trea Turner,” if you will. Retweet if you think this is a good idea, and maybe it’ll gain a little traction
Man I have been listening to Chris Stapleton Radio on @SIRIUSXM and they just played @LorettaLynn The Pill. I had no idea that this song existed. Thank you @ChrisStapleton
In 2017, 150k people paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—@ElonMusk—stole their land and dumped his shit all over it. Fuck that! https://t.co/hZishCFjMU #ElonOwesMe100Bucks
The question might seem trivial, but give it a moment’s thought:
Why does Venice 🇮🇹 float?
What does it rest on?
And, most importantly, why doesn’t it sink?
A Thread🧵 to explain it to you
In real life, the trans adult I knew best was a normal guy who worked at the zoo. In real life, the MAGA guy I know best is a little league coach who thinks all politicians are corrupt. In real life the cop I know best is an immigrant who wanted a stable, honorable job that she could balance with a family. In real life, the devout Catholic I know best is pro-choice, but spends the most time thinking about recruiting for the choir. In real life, the Muslim immigrant I know the best is a teacher who is mostly still in it for the holidays with her family. In real life, the former prisoner I knew best went away for 10 years at 18 years old but seemed like anyone else except growing up in a family where people went to jail all the time. The redneck I know best is a high school dropout with a stepson who is now a college professor. Don’t let the internet keep you from looking at the real world.
"I know, I know, Trump doesn't keep his promises last time but what if this time he DOES???"
My brother in Christ, Trump broke his promise to address your top concerns WHILE giving you these new promises.
You're not jazzed about Biden's drug war or immigration promises, are you? Of course not. Because he's a liar too.
Politicians often campaign as libertarians, bringing our desires to the center of attention for a bit, teasing us, and then bailing out the instant the inauguration has commenced.
It should be noted that this is actually shifting the window further away. They say they'll be nice for one year, beat you over the head for three years, and then the next year say that they'll only beat your backs instead of your heads. Then it gets worse and worse.
Do not celebrate when these abusers pretend to put your issues at the forefront. This is part of their strategy to make you go along with the beatings.
We can take a "believe it when we see it" approach. Leave the avenue open for them to tell the truth. But it's time to stop helping them in the hopes that, this time, it's for realsies.
Talk to therapists about how to handle chronic liars and you'll see where I'm coming from.
@MattWelch The situation in Ukraine makes it feel like the Cold War maybe just took a break. I was born in ‘76, I was fascinated by space, wanted to be an astronaut, watched challenger in my class room at school, but the most impactful world event for me is 9/11.
Regardless of your position on gun control, I don’t see how anyone can honestly believe “citizens should have a right to bear arms” and “possession of a firearm alone should be enough cause for police to instantly kill you” can coexist as rules. It just makes no sense.
REMINDER:
Do not purchase tickets for Opening Day! The A’s may be trying to offer incentives, but we the fans need to use our voices and say NO. There are plans for an Opening Day parking lot boycott/protest.
Save $, don’t give a cent to John Fisher.
#BoycottOpeningDay 💚
