What a profoundly moving voice of moral clarity & leadership. Bravo Ritchie Torres

"The motive for the attack still has not been established"? Do the Boulder police need it explained to them? #smh

For the record, and not out of bitterness because I did get it and even tied the bot with less luck, today’s wordle is not a legit word (and technically neither is “legit”)

Surely those divided on other topics of the day can agree that ranking every Daniel Pinkwater book is a noble project. Thank you Hal Johnson. haljohnsonbooks.substack.com/p/every-daniel…

I know people mocked her, but sandwich images aside, there is very little funny about this. Greta Thunberg has chosen to believe a pack of lies. She refuses to see the truth. She is so certain (in her ignorant stupidity) that she took a boat to support a radical Islamic
