To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

@DerekMerrin How’s Wes Goodman?

[Nate @Neighthun]

@DerekMerrin Yay! More money to spend on Trump vanity projects and useless wars!

Sorry D, you’re not going to congress. You couldn’t beat Marcy at her weakest, now that Trump is screwing the country (and couldn’t care less) you’ll be lucky if your mom votes for you.

@ErikReed The world is still laughing at him, more out of horror and disbelief than mockery, but he still is, and always will be, a joke. The frustrating thing is that the white evangelical church has hitched their wagon to him and he’s dragging them down with him.

[Nate @Neighthun]

@DerekMerrin Are you endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans?

[Nate @Neighthun]

Totally normal.

[Heath Mayo @HeathMayo]

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee had quite the counter-programming to the debate.

If we elect this, we deserve continued decline.

[Nate @Neighthun]

@DerekMerrin You can’t gerrymander the Constitution, so what’s your other plan?

[Nate @Neighthun]

@DerekMerrin @JDVance1 Covid approves.

[Adam King @AdamKing10TV]

Video from last year's OSU vs Michigan game appears to show Connor Stalions who is at the center of the alleged sign stealing operation standing next to the UM defensive coordinator.

See their pre-snap interaction:

Here is better quality video and story https://t.co/aOX1HCRdmN:

@DerekMerrin Wait…wait…wait…was he following your playbook on how to become Speaker? If so, it was almost step by step. You’re a real trendsetter buddy!

[Nate @Neighthun]

@albertmohler Did you know if you play “Another One Bites the Dust” backwards it says “let’s go smoke marijuana”?

[Nate @Neighthun]

@DerekMerrin When he’s the best you have to offer, maybe it’s time to take a step back and let the grown ups run the country for a while.

[Nate @Neighthun]

@RonFilipkowski So, I’ve honestly never heard him talk like this before..(#blessed), but it sounds like he’s trying to impersonate his dad.

[NFL Memes @NFLMemes]

Every week…

@albertmohler The HORROR!!!!

Are you anti-dental care now?

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

Only Gen Xers will get this.

[Steve Martin @UnrealBluegrass]

Donald Duck was a military man. He was in a long term committed relationship with Daisy, treated her with great respect.
Never once did he stray.
He had three nephews he treated as his very own sons.
Well respected in the community and hard working.
I knew Donald Duck.
Mr Trump you are no Donald Duck.
He would be offended by the recent use of his name.

@albertmohler How does it feel when you see the morally reprehensible people you denounce show principle and character you abandoned years ago? Do you even care or is your status and financial security more important?

[Nate @Neighthun]

@Atticus59914029 Probably my favorite of all time. I watched Arrival for the first time last night, I got similar vibes.

@rainnwilson Some of us just can’t help it.
