@Danny_Heifetz @DouglasEmhoff Did an actual spit-take when I saw the guest. How the hell did you guys pull this off

@BradKutner @CityRichmondVA I did a deep dive into assessments/appeals in the city this year and my takeaway was: If you're going to appeal, you gotta do your homework big time in order to have a chance https://t.co/wPLG6660De

@XfinitySupport Hi, earlier this week I signed up for Xfinity internet service and have an appointment set for install next week. However I haven't received any confirmation emails about this. Is there a way to ensure my appointment's been kept?

10 years ago I decided to ride my bike across the country with some of my best friends. I've been feeling nostalgic for those days.

Latest blog on the wildest trip I've ever taken, a decade later:

I can't stop thinking about THE ROMAIN EMPIRE

Opening the Tour de France with a 𝑩𝑨𝑵𝑮! 💥

It's a 1-2 finish for dsm–firmenich PostNL as Romain Bardet is first to cross the line with the support of Frank van den Broek in Stage 1 of the #TDF2024 🥇🥈

Woke up thinking about how we only get to watch Toni Kroos play one more match for Real Madrid

Om had a rare kind of enthusiasm for pretty much everything. The world's worse off with him gone. RIP.

[Kiyan Sobhani @KiyanSo]

Deeply saddened that Om Arvind has passed away. We lost a brother who cannot be replaced. Om and I were brought together because of our mutual love of Real Madrid but it quickly turned out that our connection went beyond that. A fantastic man with a big heart who always went out of his way to help others. I will miss you brother.

My heart is with the Arvind family.

@therealbozz Who’s done more with the resources available to them?

[Mike Platania @MikePlatania]

Much in the same way a very convincing case could be made for Bill Snyder as the best CFB coach ever because of how far deep in hell K-State was before he got there, I think Dyche might be the best EPL manager I've seen since Wenger retired.

Sean Dyche plays Halo on legendary with only a pistol and still somehow wins.

@BenjaminSolak @Danny_Heifetz @DannyBKelly @craighorlbeck I was a ghost during the Xavier Legette discussion on the latest ep because I NEED y'all to hear his magnificent accent.

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

Barcelona president Joan Laporta when asked if he's envious about Kylian Mbappe's potential move to Real Madrid: "No, not at all."

Laporta said that it could cause them a problem, potentially force them to sell a notable player, and could 'distort the dressing room' 👀
