The gospel was given for such a time as this. Sanibel and Captiva islands are my place.

“We’re still coming back, and more hurricanes cause more problems,” Botana said. “That’s a big thing we need to look at. I know the loans need to be paid back, but we need to look at the timing.”
Nailed it. Thank you @adambotana! https://t.co/slOXTlujVp

I want to thank Shawn Hamilton for his service to our state. I will miss his leadership in Everglades restoration. He has been a strong partner for a strong environment. Look forward to working with Sec. Lambert and keeping our foot on the gas as we continue to make progress.

If you haven’t seen the Harrison Butker graduation speech, please go watch it.

Here’s a quote:

“For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment.

You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives.

I want to speak directly to you briefly, because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.

How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,

but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.

I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.”

👀

This is the programming of so many people.

People believe women are here to support men. That our job is to create babies, not companies and jobs.

Not be equals.

I love being a partner.
I love being a mom.

But I also love my career and the fulfillment I get from my work.

If you’ve ever wondered what the patriarchy is, it’s this. This programming and thinking.

It causes subconscious hate and disgust for women who don’t follow these societal rules and expectations of what a woman “should” do and be.

I’m sorry to every graduate who had to sit there and listen to that.

Go on to change the world - however you choose.

It’s a great place to meet old and new friends for sure! Happy Mother’s Day @DanaYoungFL!

[Dana Young @DanaYoungFL]

I never know who I might run into at one of my most favorite spots in Florida! Thanks @CabbageKey for a great Mothers’ Day!
(Loved seeing my @VISITFLORIDA friends who just happened to be having a #cheeseburgerinparadise at the same time 🍔) #cabbagekey #LoveFL

@Mosheh @instagram Any idea how long this will last?

[John Lai @johnrlai]

@ColinCowherd I’ve noticed that you’re pretty bad. To think I used to think differently. #idiot

[Dana Young @DanaYoungFL]

Picture perfect day for sun and fun in Ft.Myers Beach! SW Florida⁦ is open for business. Cheers! @PinkShellResort⁩ ⁦@VisitFortMyers⁩ ⁦@SanCapChamber⁩

[Dana Young @DanaYoungFL]

Embrace the beauty of a perfect beach day! Sanibel Island Beach Resort is back in action! With a bit of luck, you might have this stunning beach all to yourself. And BTW, the bar is open and the drinks are cold! 🌴☀️ @VISITFLORIDA @SanCapChamber #SanibelIsland #LoveFL

@TJmeredith90 But imagine Travis Hunter as a nole though.

[John Lai @johnrlai]

@TJmeredith90 I mean they were horrible last year and beat a top 20 team who played for the natty last year. I think it’s kinda what ncaa football needed.

This is the face of our climate crisis.

[John Lai @johnrlai]

@NHL I don’t even have a dog in this race, but your officiating makes your sport unwatchable to your most loyal of fans. Good God. Fix it.

[John Lai @johnrlai]

Lol. Nope…

[Paul Bissonnette @BizNasty2point0]

Can’t wait for tonight’s Leafs game on @NHL_On_TNT. You deserve this Toronto. The weight is about to be lifted and tonight will be the beginning of something special. You must believe. Ignore the morons. Just focus on what we deserve. Leafs will close this thing out in 5. Double barrel on the way out. #LeafsForever

[Bolts Jolts @BoltsJolts]

If you can’t tell the difference between these two hits, I genuinely have zero hopes of having an intelligent hockey conversation with you.

[John Lai @johnrlai]

Interesting thread

[Tomas Pueyo @tomaspueyo]

The Texas Triangle , between Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, contains 75% of Texans.

Why?
What's special about that triangle?

[Kyle Anthony's UFC Betting @KyleAnthonyUFC]

@Rudy_G_Bets @stoolpresidente Seeing everyone THIS upset is laughable. Catlin was unbothered by it.... yet it somehow affended everyone else on Twitter. 😆 people gotta chill on this app. For real. Lots of trash talk from both sides prior

[John Lai @johnrlai]

@TJmeredith90 And today was fun because she got beat and was trolled the way she trolls people. She’ll win it all next year. Honestly I like Reese because if she had stayed at Maryland after her foot injury she would have rode pine.

[John Lai @johnrlai]

@TJmeredith90 At the end of the day I’ve never seen this much chatter about the women’s tournament in my life. Call it what you want, it’s finally making the sport interesting…and honestly when Clark does it, it’s funny because she’s straight up goofy.

[Chauncey Goss @ChaunceyGoss]

Fun night w Dad last night. Thanks to @BIG_ARTS and Community Foundation of Islands and San Cap Trust. Great to see all of our non profits and @SanCapChamber

[John Lai @johnrlai]

@TJmeredith90 That’s all I feel I’ve seen this tournament. I like her, but she’s a punk. We won’t agree on this but I thought it was funny when she did it and I think it’s funny that it was done to her.
