I voted, tried to show my ID at the check in table. They looked confused. Voted for exactly 3 people. Made a joke when I scanned in my ballot that I hoped China or Iran wasn’t hacking my vote. My guy didn’t even crack a smile. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a country we have here. We’ve given personhood to corporations while denying it to the unborn. You have to wonder if one day we will look back and wonder how we could be so sophisticated and so unscientific at the same time.

In 1973, roe v wade created the law of the land with abortion. We barely had ultrasound. We didn’t understand DNA hardly at all, we barely had pictures of the development stages, science of it all was crude, rough. Now we understand a new persons dna is created at conception.

I just filled up my 2005 Chevy trailblazer with $80 bucks of gas. The value of that vehicle probably about doubled. I’m going to cut off a piece of garden hose and start siphoning from cars at Costco. Nice economy we have ourselves here.

NFL observations: -Bengals gonna bengal. -Herbert is exceedingly mediocre, I’m so tired of stat nerds defending him -Malik Davis is only accurate within 10 yards -Bryce Young looked very small when the defense could focus on rushing him -Drake Maye not be very good

Honestly, dude hits Mahomes with picture perfect tackle and does the opposite of driving him into the turf. Are we playing football here or what?
In what world is this roughing the passer? Does not hit to the head or neck area, and makes the best attempt to not land on him with his full body weight. Mahomes and the Chiefs draw the penalty...

@StevenACohen2 we also need to send Baty, Vientos, Petersen, and Senga to outer space. Do any of your billionaire friends have space for them on like an 8 yr mission to mars?

@StevenACohen2 forget about winning a championship, we don’t even have a competitive team on the field. I watch every game, I defended Mendoza for a long time but at this point, he’s a bad tactician and the vibes are sooo bad. We need to move on.

Road rage incidents are 38% more likely when the offending vehicle is a dodge ram, 11% more likely if diesel and 13% more likely if the the rager has a Samsung phone. A violent mix indeed. #facts #dodgeram #roadrage

This dolphins game is rage bait. Tear it down.

The @mets are lost, they have pitched terribly, played suspect defense, taken garbage at bats, choked with RISP and haven’t had any fight. Someone in that clubhouse needs to change the vibe quick. If they can’t get up for the @braves and @phillies then what are we doing here?

It’s almost like they are just waiting to go home. You can’t play every important game at home, got to play good baseball on the road. This will be a playoff baseball problem if they can’t find away out of this pattern.

@Mets are about to see the cubs, Yankees, Red Sox and dodgers in the next few weeks and starting to see some injuries. Looking like an inevitable regression to the mean. They will need everyone to hit. Let’s see what this team is made of. #LGM

It’s a good day to be a @mets fan.

I guess the @mets won’t be undefeated in 2025. Here’s hoping they start better than last year. #LGM

Sometimes walking with people as their Pastor is beyond difficult and makes you want to throw up and quit and be depressed and is the worst. Today that was true. Pretty safe to declare tomorrow can’t be as bad as today so at least I have that going for me.

Thunderstruck by AC/DC is a perfect song. That is all.

So bummed about Pete Alonso not accepting any of the deals the @mets put on the table. I just don’t think he is going to get offered what he thinks he is worth. He has lost his mind. I really wish him no ill will and hope this works out for him but I don’t see it. #bagfumble

I love Pete Alonso and I do want him to be a @Mets player but… Scott Boras clients push it too far and it’s good for him to lose once in a while. The Mets have made multiple good, fair offers. Time to walk, we tried. If he comes back to earth, reengage. @StevenACohen2

Woke up this morning still pumped that Juan Soto is a met and @StevenACohen2 is our owner. #LGM Now to figure out tickets for the 3 games in April when Mets come to town to face the Twins. Might be 30 degrees but I’ll be there for it.

Good to know you are capable of an unbiased take once in a while. It is perfect.
