Travel sports parents are the fucking worst people. You're drunk, it's 12am, shut yourselves and your rotten kids into your hotel room and just shut the hell up.
Even if you're not a Bills fan I think we can all agree it would have been much more entertaining to see Josh Allen on one foot be let down by his defense and lose a high scoring slugfest by 3 over this... Spectacle.
@jeff_gluck Its the popular move for sure. I like the Roval but the NextGen just doesn't make for consistently good road course racing outside of like COTA imo. It does suck that we'll lose the Roval for the O'Reilly series.
I am against violence. I am against celebrating violence. I’m praying for peace. I’m praying for healing. I’m praying for the family, especially the children. I know what they’re going through. I’ve been through it.
I’m deeply scared for this country. The way some people are reacting on both sides is dangerous. If I had one wish right now it would be for everyone to please just step back and take a breath and remember we are all just sophisticated apes trying to coexist on a rock hurtling through space.
If we cannot tolerate polite and reasoned disagreement then there is no hope for our society.
There is a famous quote falsely attributed to Voltaire that however does sum up a principle of enlightenment philosophy, ‘I disagree with what you say, but I would die to defend your right to say it.’
The ideas of people like John Locke and Voltaire and Thomas Paine are what lead to the American Revolution which then inspired the French Revolution. They introduced the World to the idea that individual rights were important and should be protected from Monarchs (tyrants and dictators), and ultimately led to the idea that a country should be governed by its people NOT by the Church and NOT by a King.
If citizens don’t protect and respect each other’s right to disagree, then we cannot have a democracy. If we do not protect our right to disagree then we’ll get violence.
We do NOT want a society where violence is the way we win arguments, because then nobody wins. Everyone loses.
We are ALL losing right now. The whole society is losing together. Losing to violence. It’s unbelievably sad. It took so much work to get us here. We can’t throw it all away like spoilt children.
I did NOT agree with Charlie Kirk’s views on MANY important topics. I know he helped get Trump elected and people hate him for that. But he was a conservative Christian. What do you expect a conservative Christian to believe? How can those views surprise you? He argued those views calmly, reasonably, and considerately as far as I’ve seen.
But no matter what he did not deserve this. His wife did not deserve this. His kids did NOT deserve to have their world torn apart!
The way some people are being so cold and uncaring and even celebrating is disturbing and repugnant to me. It is making me physically ill. If you are celebrating the murder of a non-violent man for his opinions then you are NOT the better person. Look in the mirror. Imagine telling his kids how you feel. Step back. Take a breath. Remember we are all humans. We are all just flickers of consciousness in an endless eternity. Love IS the answer. I really mean it.
We are quite literally ALL in this together. If this ship sinks we ALL drown. Look around you. Everyone you see is a shipmate. We have to figure this out. We have no other choice.
A lot of people are very wrong about due process these days. We at @reason made a video to help.
Due process protects unpopular people—because the government doesn’t always get it right. Pass it on.
@coffeebreak_YT Lewis' books are always borderline
hero worship of their subjects. I think he got so high on SBF's bullshit that he was a new age tycoon that when it came crashing down he didn't know how to (or couldn't bring himself to) make his hero the villain. Really disappointing.
From last month:
"Returning to a speaking filibuster, reducing the voting threshold, and inverting the filibuster would allow senators to return to their duty to fully consider and debate legislation."

@GameSpot Lmao what does that PR word vomit even mean? Cut the stupid fake sympathy for exclusivity bullshit and just say it: we purchased the studio, we own it, buy an Xbox or PC if you wanna play Bethesda games.
@FralexToast See I get that but I also think it's so wet that I won't get it and regular salsa on burritos or like a burrito bowls. It can substitute for a sauce.
A growing atmosphere of mob justice in America is producing the kind of self-censorship found in an authoritarian regime, @anneapplebaum warns: https://t.co/G1wCQNTFDA
