'Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.'
Walt Whitman, American poet, essayist, and journalist, was born #OnThisDay in 1819!
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.

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. 🫡

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.
