Taking home the SEAHAWKS SUPER BOWL RING! Seeing this in person was so surreal. I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember and watching the entire @Seahawks team work their asses off this season to earn this was incredible. Their dedication paid off and we’re Super Bowl champs, baby!! Shout out to @JasonofBH you killed this one. Feeling incredibly proud to be a 12!!!!!

🇺🇸🇨🇦 SHOCK TO U.S. DEFENSE GIANTS: Canada May Slash F-35 Order, Turn to Sweden’s Gripen Fighters

Canada is considering a major shift away from U.S. defense dependence by cutting its planned F-35 purchase and acquiring Swedish Gripen fighter jets instead.

Reports suggest Ottawa could buy around 30 F-35s and 60 Gripens, while Saab has proposed building aircraft in Canada and creating thousands of jobs. The move follows Canada's decision to select Saab’s GlobalEye surveillance aircraft over competing American bids.

If approved, it would mark one of the biggest defense procurement shifts in modern Canadian history.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

Pep Guardiola is one of only two managers in English top-flight history to manage in 10 seasons and finish in the top-four each season.

The other? Don Revie with Leeds United between 1964-65 and 1973-74. #lufc

@marshyleeds I’ve got my opinion

But I don’t need to select the team or I don’t get to see their work effort or performance in training on a daily basis

Football was crap in the 70s compared to today's game.

But this, from Leeds United's Peter Lorimer, is the goal of the decade.

@rickygervais If it’s your gaff the @RSPBEngland are advising that you don’t use a feeder now until October

It’s to help stop the spread of diseases in the bird population

Alternatively disinfectant regularly and move its location

@SenBlumenthal @MalcolmNance @OutFrontCNN Reducing your troop numbers but leaving the mission unchanged adds additional work and danger for those that remain

It additionally increases the risk for casualties to the remaining troops if they are engaged

Leeds United can take pride in their season. Leaving Wembley disappointed and frustrated actually shows what they have achieved this season. They under-performed compared to some of their more vibrant, assertive form on that seven-game unbeaten run. Leeds lost (deservedly) to a newly-motivated Chelsea side whose starting XI cost £551m. Leeds’ starting XI cost £103m. It's not a level playing field for starters.

Leeds went out with a whimper, too meek in the first half, but have over-achieved this season. Plenty of reasons for positivity. Close to confirming they’re staying up, against gloomy pre-season predictions of many rivals. Six points clear of the drop zone with four games remaining and Burnley at home on Friday. Showing a togetherness in the team and between players and supporters that others covet. Generating atmospheres in stadia that few can match.

Guided by a likeable head coach in Daniel Farke who made the right decision when the pressure was on most, changing the tactics and mood (Etihad, Nov 29). Good players like Gudmundsson and Ampadu stepping up, Calvert-Lewin getting back in England contention, Stach class.

A fully fit Stach would have helped against Wembley (arrived at the break). An earlier tweak to 3-4-2-1 to combat Chelsea’s control and give DCL some support might have helped (Farke did go to a back-four at half-time but Chelsea closed down the game, including time-wasting and tactical time-outs).

Leeds can still take pride in reaching the semi-final of the Cup, taking 34,000 to Wembley, and could easily have sold out the stadium on their own. That river of white and yellow flowing from all parts towards football's HQ confirmed the size of the club and the passion it stirs. Need to strengthen further in the summer, keep key players, and continue building. A bad day at Wembley, a missed opportunity, a sense of dismay, cannot slow Leeds United's revival. #LUFC

@irgarner @MalcolmNance Agreed; I’d go further and ban them all

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

We poisoned 98% of North America's prairie dogs and black-footed ferrets nearly went extinct.

Burrowing owls, black-footed ferrets, swift foxes, rattlesnakes, tiger salamanders, insects, and dozens of bird species all depend on prairie dog towns.

We did it because ranchers believed prairie dogs competed with cattle for grass. Studies have since shown that prairie dog grazing actually improves forage quality and cattle weight gain.

The grazing-competition story was wrong.

By the time we'd figured that out, prairie dog populations had been reduced from billions to a few percent of their historical range. The USDA still funds lethal control programs on public lands.

They are routinely shot for sport and their cousins, Utah prairie dogs, and Mexican prairie dogs, are endangered.

If you live in a state with prairie dogs, push your state wildlife agency to end recreational shooting and require non-lethal management on public land.

Support groups doing on-the-ground work: the Prairie Dog Coalition, WildEarth Guardians, Defenders of Wildlife.

If you're a landowner, don't let agricultural extension push you toward poison.

We invented the problem by killing them. We can start fixing it by letting them dig.
