  NFL coaches today are so impatient. It takes some time to learn from mistakes to become a really good QB. Today, coaches just want to draft/trade for, their "franchise" QB and start winning right away. HOF Terry Bradshaw was the overall #1 selection in the 1970 draft. He only started 4 games his first year and threw 26 interceptions. HOF Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round in 2000.

  We have to completely rethink #Policing and #Police training in this country. An incident like this should make it obvious.

  Shameful, top story in the WaPo this morning giving Trump favorable coverage. 😠 I guess Bezos and his mob don't care if our Democracy falls. He's got money. #uspolitics #newsmedia #saveamerica https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/01/02/trump-gop-presidential-race-strategy > Vulnerable after the midterms, the former president turned his indictments into a rallying cry and benefited from a disciplined campaign, stalled opposition and Biden’s weakness.

  @jcrabapple Hi, I'm reaching out about moving my Mastodon account from another instance to dmv.community. I'd rather not create another account. I'm a resident of PG County, MD. I think I'd enjoy being a part of your community rather than the huge instance I'm on now. Please let me know if this is acceptable and how to proceed. Thanks, -Steve Loudermilk
