In the immortal words of Bill Weir: "Weather is NOT climate, you ignorant fucksticks!"
The last 3 years have been the hottest 3 years ever recorded.
We get one cold snap and the White House calls global warming a hoax.
I would say unbelievable, but it’s completely on brand.

The ONLY thing he's accomplished, the fast tracked Covid vax, his followers insist he can never take credit for.
There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

Remember, for you kids just starting out, you want to be hip? Don't call it the FBI. Call it the Bureau....
I've seen the agent's video. It is worse. It isn't graphic, but it's worse. I'm assuming the Bureau leaked it.

Poking my head in briefly.... Usually, 1972 is one of our favorites, but the chart seems a little light. I hope everyone is hanging in.... #AT40

I'm old enough to remember when Kyrie almost mind****ed Jaylen out of the league....
OPINION: In retrospect, the decision to draft Jaylen Brown over Kris Dunn and Bubby Hield in the 2016 NBA Draft was a decent one, I guess.
(Just watched last night's game. Holy smokes, Jaylen.)

Okay, one more thing. If you were listening to the #1 Top 40 AM station in Boston in 1979 and "Fire" came on, my hand to God, this is what you heard:

Okay, I Gibb up.... But let me leave you with a full-throated recommendation. The new oral history of The Bottom Line, the iconic NYC music venue of the 1970s-90s, is out. I cannot recommend it highly enough (and not because I have couple of quotes in it). I have devoured this thing. #AT40
