nothing demonstrates just how little regard the state has for its citizens like hurricane season. every year the policy is basically “evacuate if you have the money or die!” no preventative measures, no improved infrastructure, just everyone fending for themselves
@the2scoops @anne_theriault This is how my mom and I start phone calls.
"Are you free, Mama?"
"I'm freeeee!"
Britcoms on PBS on Saturday nights shaped (or warped) my sense of humor completely
@oldenoughtosay I thought the washing machine was broken because I couldn't adjust the temp the other day. I had been hitting the start/pause button repeatedly instead of the temp control. Only 2 months to go....
When an athlete argues that abuse prevention measures like Safesport hamper potentially winning, that athlete has articulated two things:

Pare back the words, look at the ideas. She was clear.
@ebnyhottie Developed a raging coffee addiction that in hindsight makes perfect sense. Had a paper planner that stayed open on my dorm desk so I couldn't ignore it. The campus coffee shop knew my order for my 7:45 am classes. Rode the hyperfocus train whenever it turned up for papers.
Seriously. 3 routines were shown. Out of 13 in the first half of the rotation. Give us a damn quad box stream @nbc You've had gymnastics rights for 30 years and are still incompetent. Please learn from ESPN - they run circles around you.
Nice to see @nbc continuing its fine Olympic tradition of showing athletes standing around instead of the actual gymnastics happening. Absolutely embarrassing.
Uhh @USAGym featuring a dude who chose to wear a shirt with an M-16 rifle is a choice. The makers of that shirt also sell stuff that says "give violence a chance".
Unacceptable. @DrSamiSchalk was peacefully sitting. I am enraged that the university, who’s rep was built on protests, feels okay with professors and students being arrested based on a rule that’s easily changeable.
@drewmagary my dad kept accidentally getting Americanos on our family UK trip and handing them off to my little bro & me. We spent the trip very highly caffeinated until he discovered the magic words “drip/filter coffee”. Also, pee BEFORE you ride the London Eye
Watching UCLA gymnastics and it's clear @Pac12Network is sticking with their faves (crappy camera work and peppy PR for coaches w/ abuse allegations) to the bitter end. This network deserves to fail.
