Why the fuck is there a fireworks show OUTSIDE MY WINDOW at 1 in the morning. THIS IS NOT OKAY! Seeing on Twitter this is happening all over the city. People could get hurt. This needs to be stopped. #fireworks #fireworksnyc #nycfireworks #nyc #NewYorkCity #NYCPROTEST #NYPD

@RonFilipkowski I made it about 33 seconds into the clip before I couldn't watch it anymore. Here's a thought.. maybe we don't need to be sharing what Don Jr. said about last night. Because who cares at this point. No need to give him relevance

@jazayerli Remind us again how many wins last year's World Series champ had? There were 11 teams better than the Braves during the regular season last year. Yet somehow everyone managed to accept that. Why is this so difficult for everyone this year?

@trethack24 @JennaEllisEsq @NBCOlympics What is it that you don't want your kids to see that you think might confuse them? Pretty sure if they're confused, it's because of their parents, not because they saw something like this and don't know how to process it

@the_transit_guy Would be amazing if the Yankees were playing the White Sox and I could leave in the morning by train and be in Chicago in time for a night game. And do it more efficiently and cheaply than 2 airport trips

@tonydindy @FOXSports @IndyCar Similar to NBC, not sure how they can guarantee that, especially if there are any races once football season starts. Fox has college football all day Saturday and then the NFL Sunday. Where would they put the races?

@PaulStonehous15 @PoliticsForAlI Yes, he's wrong. That same team won the World Cup 2 years ago. Were they not woke then?
