This is probably going to create violence at the polls with dumb dumbs trying to illegally police the voting locations to collect the money. You can see how this will likely turn into micro J6s everywhere.
This is all still so freaking hilarious. 🤣
Packers ripped the officiating after roughing penalties proved costly in their loss to the Lions.

I think the new fun activity is to remind the Packers that the NFL and Vegas is out to get them. The NFL is rigging the season just to hold back the Packers. 🤣
That is brutal. Don't hate the gutsy call. Hate that it failed and now Green Bay can take the lead late now.
Reality bites when they finally stop getting the calls after two decades of the opposite.
The Lions getting a few calls is fine by me. They've been hosed on the reverse plenty. There's a reason this image exists...
Classless. It's almost as if he's trying to prove how disgusting and low he can go before he actually gets low.
Shame on anyone who endorses this kind of talk from our sitting president. A forever stain on the office...
Sure do enjoy adventures with people I care about. Just introduced Hem to my buddy and his GF to end the night. He's such a good boy. I may have lost a bunch this past year but it isn't net negative.
I still have this pup, and I still have my friends and family (and students)...
Skip nailed it. 🔥
Over 2,500 games from the dugout. 50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager.
I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count.
I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series.
If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I'd whisper in my own ear:
Lesson 1: Be a window when it's good, a mirror when it's bad.
The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit.
What this looks like in practice:
• Wins: name the people who made it happen
• Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks
• Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome
Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame.
Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it.
Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing.
I tuned out every one I didn't trust.
Get to know your people before you try to develop them.
Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick.
Then the coaching lands.
Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss.
After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together.
This was my rule:
• Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute?
• Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out
• Be present for whoever you're going home to
Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it.
Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally.
Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me?
Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win?
The first builds compliance.
The second builds careers.
When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over.
Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be.
Discipline keeps you in the first group:
Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there.
50 years taught me leadership isn't about you.
It's about the people you serve.

The @GOP must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.
I had a weird dream last night that somebody gifted me fully artificial intelligence-run floor robots all based on the Pee-wee's Playhouse characters. I had Conky and Magic Screen and Globey, and they all talk to me like the characters (Globey said "over heeeeeeere, Kevin!").
