So how do we push back against ICE and CBP, and run the damn ball against authoritarianism? One carry at a time. Just pick one. Don’t over commit.
Call. Connect. Contribute. And just as importantly, utilize R&R. Just take care of today.

I wonder if there’s a Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook floating around that would help our current situation

Dungeon Crawler Carl is fantastic.
What blew my mind this year also-
We Are Legion (We Are Bob), and the sequels. So. Good. Holding off on book 4 just so I have something on the horizon. The consideration of humanity, both funny and analytical, yet futuristic post apocalyptic.

I read the first three of Red Rising but didn't move past that. Same tier for me as like Bloodsworn trilogy, both maybe a little behind WILL OF THE MANY. Have heard good things about DCC.

We must reject this rhetoric unequivocally, our governor talking about entire populations as though they share some innate dangerous essence.
“Palestinians are born to kill.”
History is full of examples of where that racist logic leads.

Pillen was asked by a reporter how the order might affect Nebraskans who want to critique the government of Israel over the actions in the Middle East. Pillen recalled his trip to Israel with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
He continued his answer by saying “anybody that wants to stand up and talk about … the Palestinians, they’ve got to understand that those people are born to kill Jews and Christians. We have to stand up and deal with reality. It’s as simple as that.”

Random teacher lesson/fact that stays with you that you never thought you’d think about/use as much as you do:
Mrs. Meister taught us in Home Ec. (1990s translation: Family & Consumer Science) - when mixing, a figure 8 motion is the best way to stir and distribute.
Anyone else?

Imagine if parents spent just a partial amount of this investing in their kid by way of savings or mutual funds and their schools (both teams and academics). The community, academic performance , and experience would be exponentially better.

I talked a dad who told me he spent $10k a year on travel baseball between tourneys, travel, and gear for his son. He got a partial scholarship to D-2 school. If he had put the $10k in a mutual fund each year, he would have had about $190,000. The scholarship was $5k a year.

New PR. Almost got stuck, but not bad for a gray bearded dude about to turn 45.

Caitlin Clark is officially the first player in WNBA history to record multiple games of 30 points and 10 assists 🔥
Stats from Friday's game against the Mystics have been corrected, so she finished the game with 32 points & 10 assists 👏

Happy Mother’s Day to @PrincipalPick! All our little side adventures & big crusades have made you an incredible mother - our kids saw you go from being a school secretary to being called Dr. Pick! Thanks for leading our little circus - I’m so glad you made our little monkeys.

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman I’m lucky to call Mom. She’s shown me what real strength means, and to know her is to love her. The absolute best! And yes, when fixing her shoe she did crack a Cinderella joke…

All timer moment for me. Quietest loud celebration ever having just put the kids to bed.
When Iowa stayed undefeated with a walk-off TD to beat Michigan State #Hawkeyes

Outside forces are coming into Nebraska to harvest mail-in ballots and potentially steal elections from good Republicans. Time to defend our state.

Beau just set the all sport, all time record for the pro-agility and going to have his picture up at @UNOmaha. And he blew the doors off the previous record. As a parent, you think your kid is the best, but it’s hard to prove it. But not today! @PrincipalPick

Nbd, just my kid setting a school record at the field meet, despite having to wear running shoes instead of spikes because they arrived and were too small, and complaining about a bad start. Going to be a fun season @PrincipalPick
