What a *phenomenal* response.
Reporter: "Have you thought at all about beating Arkansas because an Arkansas team ended both the football and men's basketball seasons..."
Taiyanna Jackson & @hkersgieter: "Honestly no . . . we don't compare ourselves to boy's teams." @KUWBball

@BullBoss5 @AppyBeard So Europeans just embrace the "less is more" mantra (more than Americans) to the point that it . . . kills them?

[JakeMike @JakeMike]

@BullBoss5 So an explanation of the disparity of around 6,000 people dying of heat-related illness in the US each year, while 60,000+ die of the same causes in Europe is that Europeans just prefer to forgo AC to the point that they . . . die?

@Cory_WX @NickKrasz_Wx it looks to me that someone used a tractor, post-tornado, to gather the debris from that field; that debris is piled into the lower-right corner of your red circle.

@Sinnersaint39 @M3mph1sB @realmikolson This is incorrect.

Broadcast television still exists all over the United States today. I get a couple dozen OTA channels on my TV today (no cable).

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

This is surprisingly substantive.

@JonR135 @DCSheriffNE @NEStatePatrol The "property damage" referenced in the post is this crash; not the call the emergency vehicle was heading toward.

@chicano031 I hope you're not planning to drive west from your pin.

@ASFleischman The same reason public utilities spend exorbitant amounts on advertising and stadium naming rights?
All I can think of is grift.

@CRyanMauk Is your youtube channel monetized?

@OrinKerr @ProfRobAnderson @arpitrage Couldn't agree more that more bluebooks are needed. But there's no way in hell teachers unions will allow schools to backtrack on their all-in embracing of laptops everywhere all the time, particularly given the proliferation of online exams that are automatically graded.

@HabCorpLinguist Bingo.

Cravath basically invented work-life balance.

@MetamateDaz hot take: the $26B in the hands of charities has probably done more objective good for people than had that $26B been put into the government coffers.

[Ben Sasse @BenSasse]

LFG!

@BarExamTutor Is the pointed omission a relatively modern-day phenomenon, or has it always existed?

[JakeMike @JakeMike]

@ASFleischman Good prosecutors won't 'leave stuff out' just because you make some concessions, lest you return in closing and say "they didn't even tie the gun to my client" or "shouldn't they have presented the medical examiner to you; how do we know it wasn't a heart attack?"

@washingtonpost Y'all should really post a gift link to this one ;)

Unfortunately, Gary Lezak's 45-day forecast given at the National Storm Chaser Summit back in February didn’t verify well. Aside from a small overlap in southwest Indiana, the majority of the activity was displaced well to the east. No activity occurred near the ArkLaTex region.

Bob Odenkirk drops a heartbreakingly beautiful truth on Mike Birbiglia:

“Who are you jealous of?”

“Anybody who’s still got little kids at home growing up. No question.”

He explains: When his kids were young, he knew exactly who he was every single day.

“I didn’t have to ask myself, ‘What am I doing here? How can I be meaningful today?’
The answer was simple: Pick up everything between here and the door, make sure they get to school, have a laugh with them.
You absolutely know who you are.
You’re a dad.”

The quiet ache of purpose fulfilled—and now missed. Hits hard for anyone who’s been there (or wishes they were).

Dads (and moms) who’ve had that phase: Does this resonate?
Parents still in the thick of it: Do you feel that clarity every day?
