Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.

In adults, limiting smartphone functionality to texting and calls and blocking all social media and mobile internet for 2 weeks significantly improved attention, self-reported well-being and mental health. 90% of participants experienced a benefit.

Our greatest ally did the same thing in Gaza, where it committed genocide.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump is suing the IRS, which he oversees, for $10 billion.

Both sides want to settle to avoid going to court.

Aside from money, one of the settlement terms is to drop all audits of himself and his family.

He’s stealing $10B from taxpayers and covering up his tax crimes.

You get that, right?

Dana White hit his wife across the face and it’s on video. F*** him. I’m not interested in his advice on what it means to be a man.

Some in media and on social media want to distract you in the Dianna Russini - Mike Vrabel scandal.

By focusing on the tabloid stuff (the alleged affair, etc.). they can sweep the scandal under the rug with a simple, "It's none of your business."

I'll remind you what this massive scandal is REALLY about:

1.) Journalism Ethics - self explanatory.

2.) The AP Voting process - Russini had a vote for COTY and is already on record saying she voted for Drake Maye for MVP. The @AP wrote about the Russini resignation and didn't mention anything about this. I think The AP wants this story to go away.

3.) Tampering - Numerous clips and articles have surfaced in which Dianna Russini has talked about both AJ Brown and Maxx Crosby being upset with their teams and the Patriots being a trade destination. Vrabel isn't allowed to lure a contracted player to the Patriots, so people are asking if he used Russini to manipulate the trade market. The NFL hasn't issued a statement on this. It's conceivable they're investigating this internally but that seems unlikely because they haven't issued a "We are aware of it, and we're looking into it" type statement. I think The NFL wants this story to go away.

4.) Accountability - Mike Vrabel is known for preaching accountability with his team, and now finds himself in a serious scandal. Instead of addressing the media, he is nowhere to be found, which is the opposite of accountability. I think Mike Vrabel wants this story to go away.

5.) Odd Media Coverage - TMZ turned down this story because it didn't want to "police the bedroom." The NFL Network acted as though the story wasn't happening. Dan Le Batard admitted covering the story made him uncomfortabe. Barstool admits to having a close relationship with Dianna Russini - it shows. ESPN, which made a big deal of the "Coldplay Couple" remained silent and refused to cover this scandal. Now even when some cover the scandal, it's with kid gloves and focuses on the tabloid stuff as opposed to #s 2-4 above. I think some members of the media media want this story to go away.

Forget everything you thought you knew about your place in the universe.

Astronomers just dropped a bombshell.

Earth — along with our entire Milky Way — might be floating inside a colossal cosmic emptiness stretching nearly 2 billion light-years across.

Yes. Two. Billion.

The region we call home appears to be roughly 20% less dense than the rest of the universe. A giant bubble of "nothing" that we never knew we were inside.

Here's where it gets wild.

Scientists figured this out by listening to the leftover echoes of the Big Bang itself — ancient soundwaves called baryon acoustic oscillations. Those ripples don't lie. And they're pointing to one strange conclusion: we live in a hole.

This isn't just cosmic trivia.

It could finally crack one of the biggest mysteries in modern science — the Hubble tension. For years, astronomers couldn't agree on how fast the universe is expanding because the math kept giving two different answers depending on where they looked.

A massive local void would explain everything.

Space stretches faster inside the bubble than outside it, throwing off our measurements like a funhouse mirror warping reality.

According to one team, the void model is around one hundred million times more likely than the standard picture of a smooth, uniform universe.

That's not a small claim. That's a rewrite of the cosmological textbook.

If confirmed, it changes the true age of the universe, our understanding of cosmic expansion, and humanity's literal address in the cosmos.

We're not at the center of everything.

We're at the center of nothing.

@AaronQuinn716 That’s my favorite part of those clips. Guys are super emotional trying to hold it together, just had one of the biggest moments of their life and Terry is gently talking to them like he’s encouraging a toddler 😂

Imagine how emotionally immature you have to be to not be able to handle someone disagreeing with a decision made by a company you like that doesn’t know you exist without lashing out.

[MeRk @Merk256]

BTW, we all flew by this, but I want to circle back and just point out what a classy move it was by Paul Posluszny to assist Shane Conlan on the announcement of the 62nd pick after Conlan struggled a bit w/ the #Bills 35th pick. Posluszny has always been a class act #BillsMafia

[Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso]

I had T.J. Parker as the No. 52 prospect in the class and EDGE, but he absolutely fills the #Bills need for an explosive standup OLB for Jim Leonhard.

I saw Rashan Gary on film. Some rawness. Huge upside.

Parker's scouting report https://t.co/daTx4mP3fu

[Fred Kilmartin @FredKilmartin80]

Houston makes the most expensive trade up of the night, paying 7% above my historical benchmark to move up two picks.

[Lou Stagner (Golf Stat Pro) @LouStagner]

I have a very special (non-golf) announcement.

My daughter, who is in 10th grade, wrote a novel called “Trapped”.

She is a voracious reader and always wanted to write her own novel. So, she did.

It was published a couple months ago.

She started "Trapped" in 8th grade and finished it in 9th grade, writing for hours at a time. She'd go on walks with my wife and me to brainstorm out loud about plot and characters and then head straight back to her laptop.

The dedication was something else. It came out a couple months ago, and if you'd click the Amazon link in the post below to check it out, I'd really appreciate it.

Not your type of book? Maybe you know a young adult reader who'd love it!

Very Proud Dad
