@LukeSchaser Stop trying to make Roll Badge happen.

Was starting to think I'd imagined this since no one was talking about it. I've been thinking occasionally about this fist bump for 3 weeks.

@rodger Speaking from experience, Dutch last names can be a bit rough. (Mine's pronounced /cook/ but that never stopped a telemarketer from giggling.)

Bucks fans knowing Devin Booker should have had 9 fouls but Milwaukee still won

[Field Yates @FieldYates]

Such a powerful moment during Super Bowl XLV, as Kevin Greene (then the Packers OLB coach) implores Clay Matthews to step up and rally the defense with Charles Woodson out of the game and the Packers down by four: "It's time. It is time." RIP to a football legend.

@Phatbox13 At the risk of sounding like the PC police, calling the one woman on the tickets a "real B" is not a great look on a public platform. (Unless that was also what you said about the shameful performances on the top of the ticket last week.)

A thread of medieval paintings of animals that look nothing like real animals because the artist had never seen them.

@Phatbox13 So give the money back to the people or their businesses so they can, in turn, continue to support their church. I don't think there are easy answers, but I think there are better ones than opening loopholes like this.

[Ross Kok @RossKok]

Um... This is not ok.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The Roman Catholic Church received at least $1.4 billion in federal coronavirus aid using a special and unprecedented exemption to a U.S. rule that church leaders secured after lobbying the Trump administration. https://t.co/emWONUtB0J

@Phatbox13 Again, I don't think it's wrong to make use of it. I don't think it's the government's job to shut down churches either; I think churches should have voluntarily moved to online services or taken high precautions during the height of this. (We're still in the thick of it.)

[Ross Kok @RossKok]

@Phatbox13 I think it's a bad look when they're dealing with sexual abuse settlements and they got over $1 billion. That is what the public sees, and it looks terrible.

[Ross Kok @RossKok]

@Phatbox13 I don't fault them for taking it; I don't think the loophole should have been there. Give that money to actual small businesses or people so the members can support the church.

[Ross Kok @RossKok]

@Phatbox13 1. I don't think it's the government's job to give handouts to churches.
2. Some of these dioceses are poor because they covered up sexual abuse and then had to give payouts to the victims.
3. It's a bad look to take that amount of money if your goal is spreading the gospel.

[Ross Kok @RossKok]

@Phatbox13 Any money

[Ross Kok @RossKok]

@JGamble98 Totally with you there. It's dumbfounding, disappointing, and gross that a deadly pandemic is not a unifying experience for the country and that the advice of experts is seen as partisan politics.
