I am not unconvinced that Conforto could clear the Strait of Hormuz with the swing of his bat. Might be worth a shot. #cubs

Wasn’t more than a week ago that some #Cubs fans were calling for Counsell’s family jewels. Chill, people, this team is good.

Reading @TheDemocrats and @Republicans Monday Morning QB last night’s Virginia referendum results is a hoot but let’s get real: independents loathe you both because you don’t care about democracy nearly as much as power, control and money. Have a great day!

Easy fix for this @mlb
Keep the digital tickets but open a kiosk inside the park that fans can use to scan and buy paper versions of their ticket. Offer to frame them with a pic from the game to create a personal memento. Too easy.

Chuck Norris didn’t die, we all died and are living in an alternate reality because Chuck Norris would not have it any other way. #RIP

More than 150 strangers attended the funeral of Navy veteran Lonnie Wayman in Nashville, honoring a man with no known family. Through a federal program for unclaimed veterans, he received a full military burial — a reminder that his service to the country is not forgotten.

Dear #southwest your extra leg room seats are great but pax are trying to avoid bag fees by jamming their life belongings in an overhead bin. You gotta enforce this to speed up boarding (and make $?). @thepointsguy amirite?

1/ America's democratic backsliding under Trump has been far faster and steeper than in Russia under Putin, Hungary under Orban, Venezuela under Chavez, and Turkey under Erdogan, according to this remarkable graph and report from @jburnmurdoch in the Financial Times today.

One of the most underrated pop (4-chord) songs/videos; it mocks the dumbing down of a vapid, aloof, media-addled American pop culture that is manipulated by marketers, pols and media. Amazing to think Blues Traveler saw this before the advent of the commercial internet…
“Hook” - Blues Travler
John Popper pokes fun at the idea that you can say virtually anything-or even admit to being insincere-and still have a hit, as long as there’s a strong, earworm “hook” to bring people back.

Tom Homan sounds like the adult in the room that is immigration enforcement. Integrity, professionalism, clarity and adherence to rights and laws are an imperative. Let’s be better and move on; there is much work to be done.
