‘Face of the League ‘ is a stupid concept. The debate is “uh” “uh uh” “nope” “yep”. It’s meaningless and stupid. The players think it’s boring and so do most people on social media. #wnba

As someone with ADHD, I recommend that rather than trash talking, opponents hit Paige Bueckers with random interesting facts about squirrels or the bubonic plague. It might distract her. #wnba #dallaswings

This is what I looked like when my father told me I couldn’t challenge Bill Russell to a game of 1-on-1 because I would beat him too badly. At Red Auerbach basketball school circa 1964 #celtics #billrussell #boston

Recordé que cuando era niña y se me perdía algo mi papá me decía que no me preocupara porque el diablo lo había tomado para jugar un rato y que cuando se aburriera me lo iba a devolver (dicho turco), muy tranquilizador para una niña 🙃

Se me perdieron las agujas si alguien las ve que me avise por favor

Was just walking my dog by a #Catholic Church when I saw a very old landscaper relieving himself behind a statue of St Somebody. He looked horrified when he saw me, and fled the scene. I almost shouted, “it’s okay dude. I’m an #athiest” but decided that might make it worse.

Recomiendo encarecidamente dejar tus dispositivos electrónicos en un hotel si tienes familia chapina cerca. Yo dejé un iPad en DC y, en el paquete de vuelta, recibí un bolso precioso, una funda nueva para mi iPad, unas telas encantadoras y una blusa recién reparada que se me había roto.

Quiz time: This lady said she locked her keys in the car along with her phone at our yard sale. Whole big thing. Tried to reach her son. I called triple AAA for her. Then she searched the barn just in case. Question: Where do you think they were?

So just to recap, in the last minute CSPAN says it was a false alarm, CNN says the shooter was killed in the lobby, and the pool report says he's in custody, do I have that right?

This is unhinged authoritarian rambling mixed w/ sovereign citizen nonsense. Trump is: 1. Using lowercase for "supreme court" like a sovereign citizen conspiracy theorist who thinks capitalization has legal power 2. Openly threatening to abuse executive power to do "terrible things" to countries /a

If you wonder how we older abuse survivors feel about the #Epstein coverup. Pure unadulterated rage. It brings back trauma from half a century ago. I detest the people involved in the coverup. I will not forgive. #epsteincoverup #pambondi #princeandrew

25 years ago, a bunch of libertarians moved to NH to take over state government. Jason Osborne, one of those "Free Staters," has since risen to be majority leader in the state house. How is he fighting for "liberty?" By helping Stephen Miller build a 324,000-foot prison for migrants and refugees.

When Trump is out, what should the #ballroom be turned into? A refugee center? A monument to the contributions of African American women? A resource center for endangered species?
