There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."
A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
Minnesota student Wyatt Neus, who has Down syndrome, went viral after sinking a deep "Curry range" shot at school. The moment reached Stephen Curry, who surprised Wyatt with a personal video message and an invite to a Golden State Warriors game.

Some of yall love acting like SGA having a good game is a referendum on any complaints about him. He has many good games he’s an all time guard that’s why we complain! It’s like watching Sherlock Holmes plant drugs on suspects
BREAKING: Chris Madel drops out of GOP race for MN governor…saying “I cannot support the national Republican stated retribution on the citizens of our state nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.” His full statement below: @KSTP
Okay so,
1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution
2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents
3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen
4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement
You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

This @StarTribune photo from today should make it rather clear how ICE operates by default.
Two agents holding down an observer, third pepper spraying straight to the face from inches away.
The federal government is attacking a major city with violence on a daily basis.
it’s probably worth noting that for all of the right-wing narrative around Minneapolis being unsafe, there has only been *one* homicide in the city so far this year.
it happened today and was committed by a masked ICE agent
Hear me out: A start-up, but all they do is make appliances using vintage patents from the 50s and 60s and everything lasts for forty years instead of seven to ten.
I’ve been thinking about this David Foster Wallace quote more and more recently
“The technology is just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it's gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do not love us but want our money. Which is all right. In low doses, right? But if that's the basic main staple of your diet, you're gonna die. In a meaningful way, you're going to die."
Absolutely worth three minutes of your time.
Dan Lanning with a lot of really poignant thoughts on the Charlie Kirk assassination.
"The US could learn a lot from our locker room... You walk in that locker room you've got guys of different races, backgrounds, religions, and you've got a team that loves each other."
H/T @MattPrehm for the question
America hasn’t been perfect. It’s made grave mistakes. But there is no country that has ever done more for improving the world. It breaks my heart how unappreciative Americans across the ideological spectrum are of that. Much of the left rejects we’ve ever been good for the world, much of the right wants to stop being good for the world. Shame on all of them.
this heat is not joke people, please stay safe. if you feel like you are close to heat exhaustion please listen to your body, find the closest mexican restaurant and order their largest margarita.
