There's probably a million people in Texas who know how to kick a football and have big Friday Nights Lights dreams of doing so. This story is going to make a lot of them mad.

It seems to be pretty common thing. They get people from Indonesia, the Philippines and other places. They don't pay them, they're just "stuck" on a fishing boat. And if they refuse to work, the lucky ones get a bullet in the head before being thrown overboard. A lot of that food is in our markets.

I was bringing a vessel from Peru to Cali years ago and west of Ecuador there was a body in the water. Contacted authority on radio, they told us to take pictures, note drift and GPS and to hold position (it takes a mile to stop). We did all that. Guy was shot. Illegal Chinese fishing fleet nearby.

I'm a weird traveler. My spouse is a more typical traveler. Most people, like her, want to visit cities. We went to Spain over the summer. I had zero interest in Madrid. When we went to France, I had no real interest in Paris. I like getting into the rural areas, the back roads and meeting real ppl.

The unfortunate news is that most of America doesn't look like a golf course. It looks like crops and livestock. Maybe a farmer down the road thinks "Trump and I don't like brown folk." But the reality is Trump doesn't like ag folk, period. He's never done an honest day of hard work in his life.

Everyone probably has a slightly different perception of what Trump is saying here. But here is mine: I come from a place that ruled by agriculture. It isn't Puerto Rico, but farm work is farm work. Trump saw something representative of farm work instead of gilded walls and he didn't see America.
Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and being this much of a whiney victim BITCH.

Vegetarian jokes are like Pluto debates—people think they’re clever, but the science community moved on years ago.
I think I’ll end with a @SuperBowl Sunday dad-joke thought…

Would be cool if, at the end of the season, they corralled all @NFL players who are vegetarian, and allow them to play in their own Salad Bowl.

I think maybe Bad Bunny trolled MAGA. I didn't see a dress. I did see about 100 women shaking their money makers at him.

No. They're not saying they agree or disagree with it. They're just reporting what the FBI concluded.

Here is "the most official" list. American media should probably just follow this format.

But this is not how the rest of the world does this. It's gold first, then silver, then bronze.

I think some US outlets publish that way because the USA is usually the biggest team overall and has the highest chances of taking the most medals home. So even if no American wins a gold or silver and the country in total wins 60 bronze, even a country with 59 gold and no others will be "second".

Aren't these usually ranked by total gold, then total silver and then total bronze?
From @theathletic.com: The first weekend of the Winter Olympics is done. These are the medal standings so far, with Italy leading the pack in total medals and Norway leading in gold. The U.S. has won two golds in team figure skating and women's downhill. nyti.ms/4akC4ke
