Universities:
Stop caging animals.
Stop inflicting pain.
Stop torture.
The fucking end.

@680TheFan Tell Chuck that we women also enjoy the pop-a-shot. I, a female, have been somewhat of a pop-a-shot champion among my friends. Open your mind! 😎🏀

@jk_rowling Over here in the USA, we have National Public Radio
@npr
doing the same. Obnoxious reports about "trans girls" being "banned" - neither term being accurate. 🙄 It's like - reporters, writers, editors, please just use words correctly. Really not too much to ask.

Everyone who attends a match should be automatically entered in a drawing to win a round-the-world trip to all the countries in the #WorldCup. There should be several hundred (thousand?) winners actually. Prize trips paid for by #FIFA and billionaires. ⚽️

GOD HATES DONALD TRUMP AND THUS THE KNICKS CURSE BEGAN BUT THE DEVIL DID NOT EXPECT GODS MOST BELOVED CREATION TAYLOR SWIFT TO REBUKE AND CLEANSE ALL EVIL THAT WAS MANIFESTED IN THAT STADIUM! NEW YORK CITY OWES TAYLOR SWIFT SO MUCH

@680TheFan Hey (world famous) Crossover, lots of us think the reason people are aging better is less smoking! Everyone used to smoke everywhere all the time indoors or anywhere. Now we're all around it less! Secondhand smoke kills (skin, etc.)

So @RealMattlanta you know how in like Santeria or voodoo or some Orthodix Jewish tradition or other spiritual things you have to sacrifice a bird? Some kind of offering. The Braves are so good and like maybe they had to sacrifice a bird (Hawks) to appease the sports gods?

@KDansky @HillaryClinton Oh my gods & goddesses. As recently as 2020 she was pushing back against Chelsea and interviewers pretending not to know. This is devastating. She really could be leading us in standing up for rights while not capitulating to nonsense. What's happening @HillaryClinton ?????

[Linda Napikoski @napikoski]

Horrifying of @NBC The Olympic Zone to lightheartedly show beluga captivity in garbage segment called Animal Athletes. Everyone at @NBCNews @NBCOlympics needs to apologize and do a whole lot better and never, ever normalize whales or other animals in captivity. #emptythetanks

Anyone else listen to reporters talk about this weekend with lines like "Ice is what authorities say will be the greatest threat sweeping across the nation" and think, hmm... the winter storm or the political upheaval?

It never rains in California
But @CollegeGameDay don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

Impressive @CollegeGameDay this weekend at Oklahoma last night and Texas A&M @AggieFootball this morning. The production team and everyone behind the scenes who got everything together and the pilot(s) who flew everybody in at midnight or whatever ... nice work!

[Linda Napikoski @napikoski]

@uscfb So when you say stay tuned for updates what does that mean exactly? Like are they by mental telepathy, or...?

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

@LizzyStarrrdust @jjainschigg Haha, entire generations misinformed about basic biology, you don't say. 🤣
Things are indeed dismal.
I'm a late Gen Xer who did learn this, but I don't know that it was in sex ed. Maybe later high school, reading on my own, etc.

@DJ2008GD @wrappedaroundme "...to appease a toddler..."
😳
appease, verb | ə-ˈpēz |
To make concessions, often at the sacrifice of principles.

But people wonder why so many of us a)don't want children b)don't like how adults behave in public

@poetrysecrets I want to argue that the air in the room IS in fact the room.

Yes, if there's one thing we know about Shakespeare it's that he struggled to find words.
