Dear American friends. Yes, that's it. We're terrified because your very best player is the fourth best player on the seventh best team in the fourth best league. Has nothing to do with you thinking stepping on an opponent's leg is fine or that your president is a corrupt maniac.
I want to defend to the death idea that the Monkees are an incredible band and totally underrated and should be part of the rock ‘n roll Hall of Fame https://t.co/YdlKlgKNWa
Hey @X is this a joke? I call out inappropriate behavior and content in gyms but there is NEVER any nudity and if there is, I cover it up. Millions of views which YOU get paid for and not even a discussion? There was no “thorough” review. Just one email and DONE. Do better X…
I wasn't sure I was going to post this, but hopefully it encourages someone. I was clocking in at 389 pounds in February. I was resigned and depressed and letting life circumstances be an excuse to not take care of my body.
I was blessed to one day in late January realize that if I didn't make a change I was going to keep gaining weight, keep feeling shame and continue to be less and less capable for my family.
I attribute that realization to the mercy and love of God, so instead of making huge plans and talking it all out and making some grand show of dieting and losing weight, I just started eating less and choosing to eat healthier. I gave myself grace when cravings took over and didn't let eating a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream send me spiraling into a food binge like I had in the past.
I chose to wake up everyday assuming I was still going to eat better, that my new default, my new normal was to eat healthy and eat less and not live in shame and disappointment.
54 pounds later and I have still not arrived where I want to be, but I can say with certainty that I feel significantly better. Physically and mentally.
My life circumstances haven't changed much, I still provide 24/7 care for a severely disabled child with my wonderful wife and the occasional in home nurse. I still have 2 other children who continue to grow and mature and who need a father who is present and engaged with their life. I still face a handful of difficulties I wont share here but that at some point I was truly concerned would lead to my demise.
But as my health improves I can see how, one less complication in my life, one less difficulty, the boost of energy from a healthier lifestyle, the encouragement and love of some incredible friends and family AND belonging to literally one of the best communities in the world, has given me the extra hope and the extra drive needed to face each day with the expectation of winning.
So now my new default is to move forward, even one step, to have grace with myself when I struggle and when the dark clouds of life hover overhead, not live in defeat. I choose for my new normal to be one where I choose to pursue life and family and above all else, Jesus.
And because i'm a nerd ill just leave yall with this, because anime is awesome and this phrase echo's in my brain on days I want to give up.
“If you are feeling disheartened that you are somehow not enough, set your heart ablaze. Dry your eyes and look ahead. You may feel like digging your heels in, but the flow of time waits for no one; it won’t patiently stand by as you grieve.” -Rengoku
I know Gary personally. We go back years. He's an ever better guy than people imagine. Very down to earth and humble.
Gary should receive the Presidential medal of freedom, without a doubt
The Packers need to abandon the fake “fans own the team” bullshit and operate like an actual modern NFL franchise. Get rid of your board. Get an actual owner. And operate like every other franchise in American sports.
Your piece of paper is just that. It’s worthless.
@TheJoeySwoll I can absolutely relate as ~2 years ago I had about of SVT where my HR hit 195. After a full work-up and a false positive stress test; ended up needing an ablation for WPW. It is stressful anytime you feel your heart racing! You did the right thing and glad you are doing ok!
The “For You” tab is completely broken @elonmusk. If you click on one freaking post (even unintentionally) your whole feed becomes inundated with crap you really have no desire to see. Please fix!
We told the Washington Post that this entire narrative was false yesterday.
These people just fabricate anonymously sourced stories out of whole cloth.
Fake News is the enemy of the people.
He’s 100 years old.
He fought in a war that most of us today can barely imagine.
He saw his friends, many just boys, go off to fight and never return.
He’s carried those memories for a lifetime.
And recently, on live television, he broke down and asked a question no veteran should ever have to ask, “Was it worth it”
When the men who sacrificed everything for freedom now look at the state of their country and wonder if that sacrifice still matters, it should make all of us stop and think.
Remembrance isn’t just a poppy on a lapel or a minute of silence once a year.
It’s a responsibility, to honour their legacy by protecting the values and freedoms they fought for.
Our culture.
Our freedoms.
Our sense of community and national identity.
If we stop respecting those things, if tradition loses meaning, if honour and pride are dismissed as outdated, then we risk forgetting what they stood for.
We don’t honour the fallen by remembering them once a year, we honour them by living in a way that keeps their sacrifices meaningful.
By standing up for our country, our values, and our way of life.
He wasn’t crying out of weakness.
He was crying because he remembers the cost of forgetting.
