Someone please tell me why Richie Sambora isn't considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time??? youtu.be/2WOS0iAlA_Y?...

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 If you don't call it out, you permit.

Why the HECK are we dealing with MEASLES again??? Absolute IDIOCY.

Not funny, Jeff

Hard to support my @nhlcanucks.bsky.social right now, multiple questionable decisions recently. The hockey ones I can accept, the moral ones not so much. C'mon.

Students that present unexpected behaviors need to be challenged, either academically or personally. They want you to raise the bar, not make excuses. Mostly, they deeply want you to truly believe in them. "You can do this, and I expect you to. I've got your back. You've got this!"

Governor @GavinNewsom’s social media team is ready for @JDVance

Why is there STILL a dismissive perpetuation of the belief that a fun classroom where children truly feel welcome, comfortable and safe cannot align with academic excellence? Activate dopamine/acetylcholine/glutamate pathways through dynamic, engaging lessons. It's all about neurotransmitters!

The ability to realize what a person is really saying is becoming a sadly lost human ability.

There is nothing more frustrating than sharing your opinion, being interrupted repeatedly, spoken at for 3 minutes then gently restating what you said at the beginning only to be told you're the one not listening. No. Talking doesn't make you right, and absolutely does not gain you any respect.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Perade! This leadership cannot be comprehended on any intelligent level. Canada laughs.

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Double.

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

“Don’t compare us to Nazis” they said as they put on masks and rounded up people to send without due process to concentration camps because they didn’t belong to their preferred race or ethnicity.

Am I correct to understand Trump has instructed ICE to be super aggressive while "accidentally" a huge training operation for Marines was happening in Long Beach/LA? Then he can invoke the insurrection act to allow Marines to deal with citizens and also SUSPEND ELECTIONS? I hope I'm wrong...

Cannot fathom what's happening in LA. Cannot comprehend America right now. This is pure unadulterated authoritarian violence. If people don't have papers, this is not how a civilized society addresses the issue. It's not going to get better as the weather hits the heat of summer...

Well, the first problem is no detachable speakers, or graphic equalizer. But, Livin' On A Prayer.

Trump treats Zelenskyy like a fool in the White House, then wonders why the White House wasn't informed of the attacks from Ukraine so inside Russia? Insanity. And I'm not even highlighting the "Biden died in 2020 and was cloned" repost from THE POTUS. Glad to be 🇨🇦.

Strength without flexibility is rigidity. Flexibility without strength is instability. Got to have both, in sport and in life.

Utter brilliance from Ukraine today. 🇨🇦 is with you!!!

Americas founders long ago would've stopped the current administration from forming government. Treason. Jail. The supposed checks and balances have failed miserably and completely. My opinion of 🇺🇸 is forever changed. I'm so disappointed.

Never 51.

This man just accepted a $400,000,000 U$D bribe from a country he's previously called out as anti 🇺🇸 terrorists. How anyone looks at this below diatribe and thinks "this is my leader!" is beyond intelligent comprehension. Education matters.

Not many people know this, but the song 8675309 is actually threatening people who live in the zip code 75309

Hey cyclists! Experienced rider tip, don't EVER draft someone you don't know. Ever! Incredibly dangerous situation today due to absolutely naive ignorance. I'm on a super easy long ride, E-Biker wannabe Lance is closer than pros ride. I slow down, he finally passes. Absolutely CLUELESS.
