It’s amazing how the @cavs are the best team in the NBA but I can’t watch their games because the @NBA is living in 1970. Purchasing the NBA League Pass does not get me access to the best team in the league. Guess the Cavs and NBA don’t care about growing fan bases
If your knowledge of Albert Blithe is limited to episode 3 of Band of Brothers, allow me hit you with some knowledge. 🤯

@benwright To not call Pulisic an elite player invalidates the rest of this and honestly puts your objectivity to rate players on an international level
I really hope ppl rightly praising Stephen Nedoroscik‘s 14.866 on pommel horse don’t forget Fred Richard’s 14.833 on high bar (the event’s high score) & Asher Hong’s 14.833 on vault (4th highest); they are also extremely crucial for Team USA!!!
Our plow blades alone weigh 2,500 pounds. Hitting one is going to go about like this. So, for your own safety, please, Move Over and Slow Down for flashing lights!
This plow strike on Sunday was the first of the year, and we've had 3 more since. Something needs to change.
Conditions are variable from dry to white out. Use caution on the roads this morning. Expect slower commute times in the snow belt. Over 80 trucks out in District 12 this morning. Give plow trucks room to work.
On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.
None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.
The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.
Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.
A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.
On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.
On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:
"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".
On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.
There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.
Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.
A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.
He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.
The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.
It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...
THIS is the reason we wear poppies.
We do not glorify war.
We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.
Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
This is truly truly truly incredible!
In the Bible, we learned that because of righteous women, the Jews were redeemed from Egypt.
Listen to this story!
Meet Inbal Rabin-Lieberman.
She’s 25. And she is superwoman. No, I’m not joking. She’s an actual super hero.
Inbal single handedly saved Kibbutz Nir Am from terrorists. It is practically the only village in the Gaza border strip that was not seriously damaged by the Hamas attack.
On Shabbat morning, Inbal was one of the first in the country to realize what was happening. How? No one knows!
Let’s rewind.
In December 2022, the kibbutz appointed her to the position of military security coordinator. Inbal was born and raised in Kibbutz Nir Am, served in IDF combat units, and studied at the Women's Leadership School.
The Military Security Coordinator is responsible for the security of the community in normal and emergency situations until IDF or police forces arrive.
She made history in Sha'ar ha-Negev - first female security coordinator in a kibbutz!
Inbal, replacing her uncle Ami Rabin. “I am filled with pride at this choice. There is no 'glass ceiling' at Sha'ar ha-Negev - we have equality in all positions," Liebstein wrote at the time.
So this last Shabbat, on that dreadful morning of October 7th, a date that will never be forgotten, she correctly assessed the threat and quickly distributed weapons to a "rapid response team" ("kitat konenut") of the settlement's residents.
"She was the first in the entire State of Israel to realize what was happening. She ran like crazy from house to house, organised a self-defence unit, prepared a plan to defend the kibbutz and arranged men in ambushes at the kibbutz fence," the southern Israel kibbutz website wrote about Inbal.
Terrorists who came to kill civilians were met with fire. All Hamas militants who tried to break into the kibbutz were killed. Twenty-five militants' bodies were later counted at the fence.
After the kibbutz residents managed to fight off the terrorists, Inbal and her family, like many other kibbutz residents, evacuated. The heroine stayed in a hotel in Tel Aviv. On October 9, she was celebrating her birthday. The mayor of Tel Aviv came to meet her and congratulate her.
"Inbal is a heroine," he wrote on Facebook. "Her story leaves no one indifferent - for her coolness, courage and bravery.
Thanks to Inbal, dozens of lives have been saved.
Thanks to her, Kibbutz Nir Am was saved.
Today, Inbal arrived with her family at one of the hotels where we host border residents. I was honoured to meet her."
Thank you for your heroism, Inbal! I hope to meet you one day. No, scratch that. I must meet you one day!
This is awesome — AT&T worked with Gallaudet University to create a 5G helmet so their deaf and hard-of-hearing students could play football.
Coaches will select plays from a tablet, which will then show up on the players visor.
They'll use them for the first time this weekend.
