🚨 REP. Harriet Hageman just NAILED IT.
“Cisgender is a MADE-UP word. It means NOTHING. Do NOT call me cisgender. I am a woman.”
“All you need to determine s*x is a cheek swab. XX or XY. Boy or girl. IT’S THAT SIMPLE.”
@elonmusk I just finished a Model Y test drive. Genius move starting my self-serve demo in the middle of @Greenville_SC Woodruff Rd chaos — which FSD handled like a champ! I’m a new fan. One question: what service do you offer to persuade a reluctant wife? 😉
In just the 7th & 8th innings at Wrigley today, there were:
6 home runs
2 grand slams
all 4 types of hit (1B/2B/3B/HR)
all 4 types of HR (solo/2-run/3-run/GS)
3 half-innings of 5+ runs
Never in MLB history had all of that happened in an entire game (let alone in 2 innings).

Life through the rearview mirror.
Took a minute to look into the rearview mirror this morning. Been a crazy but good first week of 2024. Made more progress than mistakes — learned from both. However, as we know, driving forward while staring backward won’t end well.
So … if I may mix my metaphor …
” … But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.“
Philippians 3:13-14 ESV
This is Claus-Henning Schulke.
The 57-year old German is a civil engineer but — once a year — he morphs into an athletic legend.
How? Schulke bikes around the Berlin Marathon course and is the dude who keeps Kenyan super-marathoner Eliud Kipchoge hydrated.
Last year, he played a part in Kipchoge’s record-breaking marathon time of 2:01:09.
Per the LA Times, Schulke is an accomplished triathlete, having finished 6x Ironman events.
How did he get in with Kipchoge?
While other major marathon events let top runners grab water off of tables, Berlin pairs the best marathoners with a volunteer (who hand them bottles).
They first teamed up in 2017 and Kipchoge — the greatest marathoner ever — requested for Schulke in the following years.
After setting the marathon record of 2:01:39 in 2018, he signed his running bib and gave it to Schulke.
It read: “Dear Claus: Without you, I would not have managed to run this world record.”
Kipchoge has also called Schulke a “hero” for his efforts. The rest of the world calls him one of the most glorious nicknames ever: “Bottle Claus”.
