My first iOS app was just published on the App Store. Fans of the LA Kings, Ontario Reign, and/or the Greenville Swamp Rabbits might find it fun and useful. #GKG #GoReignGo #ReignTrain #SwampRabbits

@BinettiPxP Mark. My family out here in Southern California are diehard Ontario Reign and LA Kings fans. The past couple years we’ve started watching, and fell in love with, the Swamp Rabbits. In large part that’s because of your calls. You are just excellent at your job. Ty.

@NIKKOICEBUCKS Livestream, please!

@ontarioreign My wife and I are huge Reign fans. Our niece is visiting from Japan so we bought tix to take her to her first ever hockey game on Wed against Tucson. She’s so excited! Is there any chance I could give you our section/seat numbers so she could make it on the screen?

[James S @JamesInSoCal]

@WallsLocks FYI they’re selling them, not giving away. Total scam.

[James S @JamesInSoCal]

@vvspaceship Very good call. Ty. Please consider also joining our growing Twitter-refugee communities on https://t.co/6hmlSHCyU2 and/or Mastodon.

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.

The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.

Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis says the five victims of the Colorado Springs Club Q shooting “are now reaping the consequences of eternal damnation... There is no evidence at all that they were Christians.”

Unfortunately, I have covered mass shootings multiple times in my career. This is the first time I can recall getting message after message from viewers like this.

𝐃𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐚: 𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 is sited on the arid island of Khadir in Gujarat. Occupied between ca. 3000-1500 BCE, the archaeological site, one of the best preserved urban settlements from the period in Southeast Asia, comprises a fortified city & a cemetery.

And for even further context, let's remember a book written by his adviser David Sacks called the Diversity Myth, which he later apologized for. The book called some date rapes "belated regret" and criticized diversity pushes on college campuses.

The Colorado shooter’s dad on finding out his son murdered people: “They started telling me about the incident, a shooting... And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, phew… I am a conservative Republican.” (@CBS8)

[Rob Hopkins @robintransition]

The UN said a couple of weeks ago staying below 1.5 degrees is now impossible unless we see "a radical transformation of society". So all the papers ran with headlines like this. None ran with "how about we have a radical transformation of society?" Sounds far preferable to me..

Gun-safety measures could have prevented nearly 1/3 of mass shootings since 1999.

The scale of Elon’s acquisition— what you can buy for $44B:

- every Premier League football team (Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Arsenal, etc.)
- the Yankees, the Toronto Malple Leafs, the LA Lakers
- & you have enough $ left over for the Denver Broncos
