Ready for another hot one?

Shout out to our money-driven politicians and their fossil-fuel friends and supporters for making these heatwaves possible 🙏

@geric99018902 When might this have been ... mid- to late 1960s? Where?

Have you heard of our Pick 'Em game?

If you haven't, that's okay — because @JM_Devine is here to explain:

... except doctors in Connecticut. I think I'd prefer an auto mechanic do my checkups.

@geric99018902 What race is this, @geric99018902 ?

[About Switzerland @AbtSwitzerland]

What language do people speak in Switzerland? 🇨🇭

The country has not one, but four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Watch the video to discover how multilingualism shapes Switzerland’s culture, identity and everyday life.

May 6, 1954
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY....
Sir Roger Bannister achieved the 'Everest' of running on 6th May 1954 by running the first sub 4 minute mile.

I firmly believe this. He was outspoken about how Boudreau was treated, and that didn't reflect well on team management.

[JRBear96 @jribeyre96]

@DanRussellST I remember that how it went down was weird. It was very sudden without any warning, and came directly on the heels of Garret criticizing how the team handled Bruce Boudreau. I have always thought that he was forced out for not towing the company line

@geric99018902 Just off the podium: 4. Ken Moore, USA. Also: 9. Jack Bacheler, USA.

@nickdaschel Works like this: NIL and revenue-share payouts must be public. When Big School poaches player from Small School, Big School pays a pct of player's compensation to Small School.

Like transfer fees in soccer ... small clubs get compensated for scouting, coaching up prospects.

@ianoriordan @ianoriordan Hi. In article mentioning Coghlan, Villanova is referred to as outside Pennsylvania. It’s outside Philadelphia, which is a city in the state of Pennsylvania.
