@973TheFanSD I asked an AI app (ChatGPT) to evaluate all of A.J. Preller’s trades in terms of WAR gained or lost. The conclusion: total acquired, 105.5, total lost 257.2, for a net WAR of -106.7. Details in this spreadsheet: https://t.co/VPEwxfs89M

@xcinnamontoast @AnnieForTruth Nothing more hilarious than a MAGA saying “you’d garner more respect if you actually showed a modicum of independent thought.”

@jesseagler Given that Avila is being evaluated for a spot in the rotation, why remove him after 1+ innings even though he had a rough time? Pitchers often settle down.

@BravoTitan9 @DerpasaurusR @progressaf3 Survey? "A probability sample of 4008 American women took part in a 3-year longitudinal survey that assessed the prevalence and incidence of rape and related physical mental health outcomes." You've heard of the study but, of course, never read the paper. Tell us more, expert.

"The Kubrick Stare" is one of director Stanley Kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques. A method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that they are at the peak of their derangement

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1

So they’re “essential workers” during the worst of the pandemic, but “low-skilled workers” when they ask for a raise? Am I getting that right?

[Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett]

Yeah, but...

What is the appeal of Russia to MAGA crowd? They see Russia as a country run by white heterosexual men, no women in power, discrimination against LGBT is state policy, a formal alliance between church & state, a strongman leader in sham democracy. That is their vision of America

It's TEXAS again.
The Governor signed House Bill 2127, which will nullify any local city ordinances that require water breaks for employees who work in the heat and prevent any local jurisdiction in the state from passing such laws in the future.
It's called the "Death Star" law because it prevents any local city or county government in the state from passing laws that contradict anything in Texas state code.

The Northern Atlantic Ocean is heating up so rapidly that it is literally, nearly off the charts. Pay heed. This is well beyond record-breaking.

WOW! This is the view from the The George Washington bridge running from Manhattan, New York to New Jersey.

- This is all stemming from Central Canada, where wildfires are burning in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

- In total there are 211 reported wildfires burning in these two provinces, with 145 of them considered "out of control".

- These fires started because of unseasonable hot and dry conditions, and have already forced 10,000 residents to evacuate their homes in Quebec.

I think what this shows us is how fragile and interconnected the entire world really is environmentally.

An event that takes place in another country can have major impacts and implications on our own. We are all in this thing together. Let's get along and work together to figure things out. The environment is a great place to start.

From a Teacher ❤️ ✏️

Today I was running low on pencils so I asked all of my kids to pull out any of my pencils that they had in their desks. I had one student ask me if he could keep his pencils that his mom gave him for school. Of course, I said yes.

He then said, “well, I guess I’ll give you a few so my classmates can have them too.” I thought nothing of it and took the pencils that he handed me. When I was sharpening them, I noticed writing on a few of them. I then realized that my student’s mother took the time to write on his pencils. I asked him if he would mind showing me the rest of them.

What I read melted my heart:
- You are so talented.
- This will be a great year.
- You are creative.
- You are phenomenal.
- Never give up.
- You can do this.
- You are knowledgeable.
- You are a math whiz.
- You are intelligent.
- Proud of you everyday.
- I love you.
- You have a brilliant mind.
- You are wonderful.
- You are a problem solver.
- Follow your dreams.
- You are perfect.
- I am proud of you.
- You will change the world.
- You are amazing.
- You are the best.
- You are important.

-This probably took his mom a few minutes to do yet it lit up his whole day at school. He wasn’t embarrassed that his mom wrote on his pencils. Thanks to his mom, he was reminded of his self worth and wanted to share the same feeling with his classmates.

- THESE are the things that we should be reminding our kids (both parents AND teachers). Imagine the look on a child’s face when they are reminded that they are important, talented, loved, knowledgeable and so much more.

- Help them know that someone believes in them and is proud of them in everything they do. Even if you think it is cheesy or you don’t have enough time or that you will have little impact, remember that you may be the only one telling and reminding them these things and EVERY kid needs to know their value. This is why I teach. ❤️❤💜💜😀⭐
