I love reading long-form pieces about the backstories of sporting heroes. And this one, about America's next great goal-scorer Ricardo Pepi, is as good as it gets. Bravo, @R_AndradeFranco

@jonfavs - Hey, dude. Reading A Princess of Mars, Ghosts of Mars w/ my boys as a read-aloud. Picking up on quite a few "I have spoken" sentences. Any chance that's an influence on The Mandalorian?

@bobpeterson_hey Hey - Don't worry 'about me, Bob. You guys could make Toy Story 74, and 142-year old me would be there to see it.

[Peter T Chattaway @ptchat]

In the original #ToyStory, Sid took living toys apart and recombined their bodies in ways that created new living toys... but did he create new hybrid personalities altogether (a la Star Trek's Tuvix), or did the original consciousnesses remain (and, if so, with which pieces)?

Gmorning.
Their pace is not your pace.
Their pace is not your pace.
Their pace is not your pace.
Be patient with yourself.
Find your pace.

So Romeo and Juliet is a lot of things, but I like to think of it as an extremely prescient play about the importance of not re-tweeting fake news... #NoFakeNews #Shakespeare #itsametaphor #romeoandjuliet
