Fact #10:

Schools cannot control what happens during the other 75% of a child’s waking hours, yet they’re often judged as if they can.

My kid has the measles, I had explosive diarrhea because of the Cyclospora parasite, and the last factory in town just closed and moved to China, but at least the three trans athletes in the entire country can't compete in women's sports 🙃

This is Beily. He was miraculously found alive under rubble 29 days after the Venezuela earthquakes. He has since been reunited with his 11-year-old human Victoria and is expected to make a full recovery. 14/10 for all

“It’s time for us to take our state back — now you might say: ‘haven’t y’all been in power for like the last 30 years?’ And to that i say… SHUT UP.” 😂😂

Let he who hasn't held a cage match on his lawn and that shit ruined the grass so he had to quickly build a helipad there cast the first stone and whatnot.

A fine Russian “kitchen joke” of today. I.e. not be used in public, only in the kitchen. In whisper.

A pro-Putin guy pulls into a gas station and asks:
- How much for gasoline?
The attendant answers:
- 200 rubles a liter.
- What do you mean, 200?! Yesterday it was 100!
- That’s right: 100 rubles is for the gasoline, and another 100 goes toward building a multipolar world.

The pro-Putin character sighs, but proudly hands over 200 rubles.

The attendant takes the money, hands back 100, and says:

- There’s no gasoline.

Orville Wright died on January 30, 1948.

Kenny Loggins was born on January 7, 1948.

That means the guy who invented flight and the guy who sang “Danger Zone” from “Top Gun” were alive at the same time.

NPR did learn that there's a trick if you are applying in person in Washington and do not want a passport with Trump's image: Choose extra pages. The State Department says the 250th commemorative passport is only available in the standard, 28-page book

As America turns 250, I wanted to share my favorite moment in the past 250 years. #Cubs

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

When people say that immigrants should adopt "our" culture. They ARE our culture.

Rock and roll, jazz, country, blues, and most of our music was derived from "Call and response," which came from Africa.

Irving Berlin, who wrote the song "God Bless America," was born in Russia.

Our food comes from Europe and all over the world. Apple pie comes from Holland. Burgers and hot dogs come from Germany. Pizza comes from Italy. Barbecue and most "southern food" came from slaves.

Sitcoms are derived from vaudeville, which was brought by the Irish and many other immigrants. Hollywood and Broadway are what they are because of Eastern European Jews.

Sports? Baseball was inspired by cricket. American football came from rugby. Basketball was invented by a Canadian.

Our railroads were built by the Chinese, Mexicans, freed American slaves, the Irish, and other immigrants.

The New York City skyline was largely built by Italian immigrants.

Science? Einstein and Tesla were immigrants. Andrew Grove, who we owe for the semiconductor, came from Hungary. Sergey Brin, from Russia, cofounded Google.

Levi Strauss, from Germany, gave us denim. Jonas Salk, whose parents were immigrants, gave us the polio vaccine. Ukraine's Selma Waksin developed the first treatment for tuberculosis.

More recently, Katalin Karikó helped develop mRNA vaccines.

John Shalikashvili, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, came from Poland.

And you know something about every wave of immigrants? There were people then, just like now, who complained they would never assimilate.

American culture isn't something immigrants assimilate TO; it is the assimilation OF immigration.

[Hey, Dave! @davegreenidge57]

Mitch McConnell trolled RBG on her death bed by releasing the list of nominees he intended to replace her with. He and Trump did that after she had ask McConnell as a personal favor, to wait until after the 2020 election had passed. I just thought you people should know that.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Australian fans: this Friday, at the game against us, I'm kindly asking you not do any anti-Trump chants. Please don't chant about him being in the Epstein files. Or his stupidity. Or his corruption.

We Americans would hate that so much. We would definitely not join in with you enthusiastically in those chants.

Amazing what happens when these guys lose. They all of a sudden start understanding right from wrong again. Wonder why that is?
