@vyrv_ Just being 💯- I heard from friends that went.
They said it was a sh*t show to get in.
Didn’t have enough vendors so they didn’t even bother to get food since lines were too long.
Said the feed cut out twice ?
I’m not crying… Y’ALL are 😭🥹 First thing I see on TikTok is a girl who moved in with her friend for 6 months just to get her life together. Friend told her rent was $350, she paid $400 anyway.
When it was time to move out… the friend handed her ALL $2,400 BACK 😭 and said she never needed the money, it was just to help her SAVE and go handle her business.
MY GOD 🥹 THIS is what love looks like. THIS is grace. THIS is being human.

Mike Vrabel shares the standard that he's building in New England.
He set the tone with his first message to the team:
"We're going to earn the right to be here every day. We're going to remove entitlement from our football team."
It means show up and prove it every day.
"If they care about the team and they come here with a great attitude and a willingness to work and help the team - we're going to do everything we can to support them and their families."
The standard:
1. Earn it every day. Be grateful for the opportunity.
2. Care about the people around you.
3. Bring a positive attitude and mindset.
4. Effort and finish are non-negotiable.
Entitlement is removed - gratitude is expected.
Everything is earned.
That's the culture and the standard.

After losing a sibling or your parents or anyone close to you, nobody tells you that on a bright sunny day just driving down the road for no reason at all tears will start to fill up in your eyes out of nowhere. Nobody tells you that for minutes on end, your mind puts you back in that time and place of trauma and you feel it all over again. So much so that you have to literally snap yourself out of it, and shake it off and say to yourself "I'm ok"... there is no time limit on grief. Check on your people.
I heard Alex speak in a small setting last year and the key message re: risk (about El Cap in that case) was roughly:
“People think I just like showed up and was willing to risk death to do this and that I don’t have a fear response. I trained for 25 years. I more specifically trained for 8 years. And I only trained for this one thing for 2 years. I worked until the probability of death felt like 0% before I did it. I didn’t want to die then, and now that I am married and have kids, I don’t want to die any less than I already did 😆. You stop fearing things when you’ve prepared so much that it can’t go wrong and you’ve confronted the fear over and over and over again to where it becomes familiar.”
From James Hodge on Facebook
“One man shoved a woman to the ground. Another man stepped in to protect the woman. The man who shoved the woman then pepper sprayed the man trying to protect her. The guy who shoved the woman continued to pepper spray them both and the man who stepped in tried to use his body as a shield to protect the woman. The guy who shoved the woman then started trying to drag the man shielding the woman away. The woman shoving man failed to drag the man shielding the woman so several more men jumped in to stop the man from shielding the woman. The woman shover and his friends then stomped, punched, and kicked the man who had been trying to shield the woman. As they assaulted him they realized the shielding man had a holstered gun. The shielding man fought to get free to protect the woman, but never reached for his gun. One of the stomping men grabbed the shielding man’s gun and cleared himself before a single shot was fired. The other men then, after he had been disarmed, shot the shielding man ten or more times despite never having reached for his gun and after he’d already been disarmed.
That is exactly what happened. A man was murdered for trying to protect a woman who’d been assaulted.
He wasn’t a terrorist, he was a hero. He was the one protecting someone and he was gunned down for doing what any decent man should do when he sees a woman being assaulted. Alex Pretti died a hero. Alex Pretti exemplified the best of America and was murdered for it.
If you have any honor, any love for your country, and basic human decency, you will applaud the Alex Pretti and condemn the men who murdered him.”
Tyrese Haliburton and Bailey Ober are kings for calling out the injustice that is happening in Minnesota, at the hands of the Federal Government and its goons.
Pretty embarrassing that more athletes aren’t being vocal (especially those in ICE-heavy cities). Speak up!
