I tweet education, sports, literature. Opinions my own. I cried in the Air & Space Museum once.

Real ones know World Cup success is completely wasted on this particular USMNT squad. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can’t decide when Taylor Twellman inevitably takes a diametrically opposed, equally hyperbolic position in a few days whether it’s delusion or a bit at this point

"This is the first time ... in the Men's National team history, where you have ... a golden generation of players that are entering the prime of their career, and yet they're under the age of 28."

—@TaylorTwellman on how good he believes the roster of the U.S. Soccer Men's National Team is ⚽️

Maybe the foreigners have it right. Maybe the eagle and the flyover and the canyon and the kindness of a stranger with car keys really are worth crossing an ocean to see. Maybe, watching them fall in love with the place we take for granted, we could fall in love with it again ourselves and decide to be a little more charitable to the neighbor God told us to love, even when we cannot stand how he votes.

Andre Agassi hating the guts of every single member of the new guard of men’s tennis is extremely my spirit animal. And I’m #TeamSampras!

We need to use the DC speeding ticket money to extend James Wood im so serious I’ll drive 50 all up and down New York Ave right now

That Survivor finale screw up is why East will always be the superior Coast. #blessedtobeawitness

Tip of the cap to @BYUBaseball. It’s Senior Night for the Cougars, but before honoring their own senior class, BYU took the time to honor every Jayhawk senior and Coach Pratt presented each with a sleeve of Pro V1’s. Class act move. This university and its athletic department have been tremendous additions to the @Big12Conference. MUCH respect. 🫡

Gotta respect that hubris is what's gonna be Nolan's downfall and its vehicle is literally Homer's The Odyssey

[Emily Kinard @emkinard]

Glad we are all having the same reaction to this and it’s that “dad” is bad.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

The new trailer for Christopher Nolan's ‘THE ODYSSEY’ has been released.

Congrats to Daniel Kraus for taking home the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for Angel Down. Easily the best book I read last year.

Read my 5-star review of Angel Down by Daniel Kraus https://t.co/I9E5w6MTSx

@faceuh8 This was easily the best book I read last year, this absolutely rules

Nothing better than hearing that “door open” sound and seeing your crush online. These were the days. Truly.

[Mike Beauvais @MikeBeauvais]

Look, was LIV Golf successful? No.

Did it bolster the reputations of everybody involved? Also, no.

But was it fun? Once again, no.

[Emily Kinard @emkinard]

I also think the extent to which trashy/shallow pop monoculture is upstream of all of this cannot be overstated

[Rory Cooper @rorycooper]

Ben Sasse is uniquely extraordinary…but if you watch that interview and wish we had more civically serious leaders like him, please understand that’s a choice. Voters can demand it.
