‘Don’t come for me unless I send for you.’

‘I did not send for this malignant clown.’

‘He thought he was confronting Beltway Hakeem…but he saw Brooklyn Hakeem.’

As I have watched the Tigers games I have blocked a bunch of the jeering section. But can I make a crude and boorish sports reference now? Herschel Walker is a dumb jock who has no business being US ambassador to anywhere.

Alabama suspends methane monitoring above expanding coal mines. This, after a house was destroyed by said methane. Alabama never ceases to amaze me in its craven loyalty to nasty business interests. I mean, really, coal mining is important NOW? It ain't 1885. 🧪⚒️ #GreenSky

Despite fatal explosion, Alabama suspends methane monitoring above expanding coal mines | Alabama Reflector

The decision is a reversal of the state’s previous agreement with federal regulators spurred by a fatal home explosion above the expanding Oak Grove mine here in rural Jefferson County.
