This Razorbacks-Jayhawks game is the third ever tournament matchup between two teams whose school geographic names end in "-kansas".

March Madness fact:

The last time Gonzaga failed to make the National Championship game in the first March Madness tournament following the election of a white US president was way back in 2005.

I don't even understand what economy is but I really like saying "...in this economy?" as a response to anything that has to do with money

Blaming Democrats for plane crashes isn't crazy. If they'd done those things, plane crashes would legitimately be their fault. He's projecting. And there will be more.

@cattykatt Well that seems to be evidence that u voting blue isn't enough. We need to recruit, promote, canvass, elect true political opponents to GOP evil, instead of doormats, & work every day to change the conversation & get people to see why they vote against their own best interests.

Saying "I voted blue & it everything didn't magically get better" is like throwing two sticks at each other and being shocked that you didn't build a log cabin.

This is hard work, and no one's doing it right.

@cattykatt That’s a nice platitude but it’s literally the only option. Putting pressure on the blue team while the red team is seditionist traitorous terrorists is not only not the best use of our time, it’s the problem that you’re ignoring. It’s counterproductive. I don’t disagree with your take on the morals and merits of dems but there is nothing more important than opposing republicans and they’re simply in the best position to do so.

@cattykatt Asking people to go third party in a two party system is a fool's errand. Instead of getting the poor result you assured I would get (no positive change), you get the timeline we're in now: things getting dramatically worse.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Step one is ending the pure, unabashed evil that is the Republican party. That means supporting their most direct opponent.

You seem to have skipped to step 2, and that is not a feasible plan.

Humans only have the ability to be up to two of these three things, but it is impossible to be all three:

-Good
-Informed
-Republican

Which ones are you?

@cattykatt I have no idea how both sides being wrong on one issue is a reason to stop being "blue no matter who".

I would vote for literally anyone on earth before I voted for a Republican. I would vote for someone who promised to punch puppies in the face if they were running against a Republican.

So, hmmm... Dems are wrong on TikTok? Cool. Blue no matter who.

Some shy professors, forced to write
about a time that's bound to come
when my earthly life is done
described my ultimate demise
in lovely euphemistic words
...
by not just saying
I have passed on
joined my maker
or gone to the Promised Land
but stating the lamented fact
in the best and gentlest terms
that I, now dead, have recently
reduced my level of participation.

Hispanics voted for the person who didn't denounce the "floating island of garbage" comment at his rally.

African Americans voted for the guy who wants a group of black people to be executed despite being fully exonerated of wrongdoing.

Women voted for the person who thinks if a women is attractive, a man should simply be able to grab that women's private parts, and that's especially okay if the man if rich or influential.

The forest voted for the axe, because the handle is made of wood.

Dak Prescott becomes the first NFL player to make 1,000 times more than I do, breaking the previous record of about 945 times as much as I do

There's a crazy thermal gradient cutting New Zealand in half right now.

Despite North Island and South Island being 14 miles apart, temperatures right now on North Island are 72ºF, and temperatures on South Island are 31ºF.

It is extremely wrong that the phrase "convicted felon" does not appear in the introductory paragraph of Donald Trump's Wikipedia article. I don't say that with bias. Along with 45th American POTUS, businessman, and media personality, it is a major descriptor of who the subject of the article is.

Wikipedia articles should not sugarcoat biographies, and usually don't. Charles Manson's, for example, mentions "criminal" and "cult leader" right alongside "musician".

Reporter: "Do you have a plan regarding inflation?"

Mr. Trump: "It, I do have it. Look at this. Look at this. So, these are Tic Tacs, right? I don't know if I like the company, I have no idea. They are so lucky. This is the greatest commercial they ever had. But that's what happened. This is inflation. This is Tic Tic. This is Tic Tac. This is. Inflation. Somebody gave me this one today. I said, 'I think we will put it up as an example of inflation.'"
