Both parties have had full control of the government multiple times in 50 years.
Healthcare is still broken. Housing is still unaffordable. Costs go up. Wages are still stagnant.
The argument that one side is the solution is no longer believable.

Late night tweet:
College football seems like its at some sort of weird inflection point.
Half empty stadiums. Season success solely defined by the plauoff. Roster churn has made even well-coached teams sloppy
Not sure the sport is in a better place than it was 5 years ago🤷♂️

I hope we as a fan base never forget where we were as a program for so many years before Nate got here. There was plenty of good before 2019, but we’re truly living in the best time to be a Bama basketball fan.
Alabama has picked up multiple predictions on Friday to land composite 5-star PF Zion Green.
It looks like Nate Oats is on the verge of landing another elite prospect:

There was something special about being a kid when adults didn't feel the need to entertain you every minute of the day.
Your parents could take you somewhere incredibly boring, and you were just expected to deal with it.
The bank. The hardware store. Your mother's friend's house, where you sat on a couch covered in plastic and weren't allowed to touch anything.
Nobody handed you a screen. Nobody worried about whether you were having fun.
You studied the wallpaper. You read the same magazine three times. You stared at the clock and wondered if the second hand had stopped moving.
And if you made the mistake of asking, "Can we go now?" your mother gave you that look.
You know the look.
The one that could end your entire afternoon without a single word being spoken.
I swear, we developed half our imagination simply because our parents refused to entertain us.
Looking back, I think being bored was one of the best things that ever happened to us.

Kirby on loss to Auburn… “Auburn played better than us today. Executed better than us today…. At the end of the day we pick it up, everything we want to do is in front of us. I know it’s a big deal to other people but it’s just another game to me… I always say humility is a week away… Every week in this league is a war. Anyone can beat anyone.”

I’m convinced that the ability to remain unshaken by the minor inconveniences of life puts you ahead of 95% of people. Emotional control is the ultimate power. Few have it. Not every collision or slight deserves your energy. You can just let them float by.

Reminder for younger parents...
You only get
1 summer with your baby
3 summers with your toddler
9 summers with your child
5 summers with your teenager
Time goes fast. Soak it all in!

YOU CAN’T KEEP POURING FROM AN EMPTY CUP.
If you’re a teacher, therapist, counselor, coach, parent or anyone who spends your days helping kids and teens, you probably spend a lot of time taking care of everyone else.
You notice the child who is struggling. You absorb the big emotions. You solve problems. You answer one more email. You stay a little later. You worry about them after you go home.
And eventually, without realizing it, your own oxygen mask comes off.
There’s a reason the flight attendant tells you to put your oxygen mask on first. It isn’t selfish. You simply can’t effectively help the person next to you if you can’t breathe.
The same is true in helping professions.
When we are chronically depleted, our patience gets shorter, our thinking becomes less flexible, small problems feel bigger, and it becomes harder to give kids the calm, regulated adult they need.
So start small. You don’t need a week at the beach. You might need five minutes.
Try this today:
• Protect one small boundary. Leave one email until tomorrow. Say no to one thing you don’t have capacity for.
• Take a real reset. Five minutes outside. A short walk. Music. Silence. Slow breathing. Put the phone down and let your nervous system settle.
• Check your basics. Water. Food. Sleep. Movement. Sunlight. Connection. We often search for complicated solutions while ignoring the things our brains and bodies need most.
• Stop trying to save everyone. Support people. Advocate for them. Teach them. Love them. But remember, you cannot carry every problem home with you.
• Put something on your calendar that fills YOU back up. Not because you earned it. Because you need it.
Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean you care less about the kids you serve.
It helps you keep caring without losing yourself in the process.
Before you help everyone else breathe today, check your own oxygen mask.

Kalen DeBoer on the Alabama players who said something to the team in the halftime locker room when the Crimson Tide was down 17-13 to Kentucky:
"I saw ZB (Zabien Brown) going around. I'd expect that. Felt like Ryan [Coleman-Williams] was calling with his side of the ball, and ZB came over. It's not always just cranking it up and screaming and hollering. Sometimes it's just like, calm, cool and collected. And I think guys like ZB got that.
"And Bray [Hubbard], I saw him, I think, in the third quarter, during the game I saw him over there doing it the right way with the offense too. He's got their back.
"Keelon [Russell] went over to the other side (defense), and just owned some of the things that he fell short on in the first half that put us in a tough spot. So I think that was kind of some of the things that stuck out to me."
Alabama proceeded to outscore Kentucky 32-0 in the second half. Worth mentioning that Brown, Coleman-Williams and Hubbard are UA's three team captains

They skinned Matthew alive.
They crucified Peter upside down.
Boiled John in hot oil.
Beheaded James with a sword.
Hung Luke from an olive tree.
Stoned Philip to death.
None of the apostles died for a lie.
