A moment to recognize the true heroes of Paris-Roubaix 🇫🇷🐐 They work at munching away on the grass and weeds that sprout up each spring between the stones laid centuries ago. This is essential work. 🪨 Revisit our story on the GOATS: bit.ly/4tD13XR

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Trump Timeline: 🔸️Jan 18: “Iranian patriots, help is coming. We are moving in.” 🔸️Feb 28: “We are launching the decisive operation. It will be very fast.” 🔸️Mar 2: “We will win easily.” 🔸️Mar 3: “We have won the war.” 🔸️Mar 7: “We defeated Iran.” 🔸️Mar 9: “Strike Iran. The war is almost over—clean and decisive.” 🔸️Mar 12: “We have won, but not completely yet.” 🔸️Mar 13: “We won the war again.” 🔸️Mar 14: “We need help to open the strait.” 🔸️Mar 15: “If you don’t help, I will remember it.” 🔸️Mar 16: “We actually don’t need help—I was testing loyalty. If NATO doesn’t help, consequences will follow." 🔸️Mar 17: “We don’t need NATO help and don’t want it. No Congress approval needed to exit NATO.” 🔸️Mar 18: “Allies must cooperate to open the Strait of Hormuz.” 🔸️Mar 19: “US allies must step up and help open the strait.” 🔸️Mar 20: “NATO is cowardly. We may phase this out.” 🔸️Mar 21: “We don’t use the strait. Others need it, not us.” 🔸️Mar 22: “Final warning. Iran has 48 hours. Iran is finished.” 🔸️Mar 23: “One more week, then we bomb power plants.” 🔸️Mar 24: “The war is nearing its end.” 🔸️Mar 25: “We are negotiating with Iran.” 🔸️Mar 26: “Iran is begging for peace. They gave us a gift. We delay strikes on power plants.” 🔸️Mar 27: “I and the Ayatollah will jointly manage the Strait of Hormuz.” 🔸️Mar 28: “Regime change has occurred in Iran.” 🔸️Mar 29: “Negotiations with Iran are going extremely well.” 🔸️Mar 30: “We are prepared to destroy Iran’s oil and energy infrastructure and occupy Kharg Island.” 🔸️Mar 31: “We are ready to end the war without opening the strait.” 🔸️Apr 1: “War ends in 3 days. We will bomb them for 2–3 weeks back into the Stone Age.” 🔸️Apr 2: “We destroyed three major bridges. Why haven’t they called us yet?”

The Kelvin Kiptum Challenge should be for regular marathon runners to hit those splits but minutes per kilometre rather than minutes per mile. Would be around a 3:15 marathon.

“Artists” calling for censorship don’t know what art is. “Scientists” citing consensus don’t know what science is. “Teachers” indoctrinating students don’t know what teaching is. “Journalists” parroting propaganda don’t know what reporting is. Programming us all day long.

We’ve been inundated with country TV ads. But this is the clear winner. “Wheels” starring John Rambo. Amazingly also in Ballarat. (Thanks for the tip off @admarks) – at Melbourne, Victoria

The college football social media outrage is symbolic of an issue in society. We want the reward without doing the hard work to be able to get it. We're the spoiled fit throwing child. We have to do the hard work. We can't just 'force' our way to something because we crave it.

Good (also sad and costly) example of "FAKE TOUGHNESS." These are same dudes who are bullies in the workplace; anonymous trolls on social media and message boards; and walk around chest out, like inflated balloons. Being worried about looking weak = usually a sign of weakness.
American men are still resisting wearing masks. The problem, experts say, is they’re afraid of looking weak. vox.com/the-goods/21356150/a…
