Just amazing footwork AND he rolls the medicine ball!

We have not seen real coaching like this since Calzypoo was seen throwing the forward pass!

In 1940, the very first Social Security check was issued to a woman named Ida May Fuller. However, the majority of early recipients were white, male, and employed in industrial or office jobs—professions that fell under the original Social Security Act of 1935. Entire groups of workers were excluded: domestic workers, agricultural laborers, and others—jobs predominantly held by people of color, particularly Black and Latino Americans, as well as women.

At that time, nobody referred to Social Security as an "entitlement" in a negative sense. It was regarded as a just reward for hard work, a safety net earned through years of labor. It was viewed as something that one was owed because they contributed to the system.

Fast forward to today: Social Security is more inclusive than ever. It provides coverage for retirees, people with disabilities, survivors, and dependents from all racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. Women now represent the majority of beneficiaries. Black, Hispanic, and immigrant workers who were once excluded are now part of the system. And yes, it still operates largely the same way, you pay in through payroll taxes and receive benefits later.

Yet, in today’s political and cultural discourse, we frequently hear Social Security referred to as an “entitlement,” not just in the technical sense, but with a tone that implies laziness, dependency, or even undeservingness.

Isn’t it ironic?

The very people who benefited the most from the original structure of Social Security are now among those most likely to label it as an entitlement in a pejorative sense.

This raises a deeper question:

When did Social Security become viewed as an "entitlement"—in a negative context—only after the demographics of its recipients began to change?

Also anyone that abuses kids is a POS, and should be locked up.

Listen to the entire interview, it get worse. CA is just crazy.

For some reason Publix has been stocking dandelion greens a lot lately. I've never used them with anything. Anyone have a good recipe for them? Are they generally a good substitute for any leafy green for salad or sauté? The erstwhile chef needs to know.

On Friday, Guys and Gals?
I’ve got three 21 year olds and an 80 year old that’s gonna be with me.

Friday needs to get here! I’m antsy with nothing to clean so I’m shopping instead. East Cobb is loving my ass. I bought 5 pair of shoes yesterday and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 🥴

But damn, how can you not like this guy?

Has started a fundraiser for Color of Autism. Can someone who’s smarter than me link it from his instagram? I used to work with the intellectually disabled so this brings a smile to my face. His goal is to reach $10,000.

Father vs Son is actually pretty cool

I need one for one of our coaches. He was only able to get 2 tickets and needs one more so he can take both sons. Willing to pay just do not want to pay crazy price.

Is he no longer with the team?

I noticed Hugh said we have only 2 QBs throwing the ball today and when watching clips he isnt out there with the QBs

Good evening and welcome to our game thread, which has been certified as a safe space for both Tesla and Ford drivers. Auburn is 19-5 and going for its 20th win. That's purdy good considering AU won just 27 games last year. The Jaguars are usually a pretty tough outfit but come into the matchup just 11-12 on the season. Auburn is the home team and the game is reportedly available on War Eagle+.

Here's the lineup...

1. Eric Snow 3B
2. Ike Irish RF
3. Cooper McMurray 1B
4. Lucas Steele DH
5. Chris Rembert 2B
6. Chase Fralick C
7. Deric Fabian SS
8. Cade Belyeu CF
9. Bristol Carter LF

So. RHP Alex Petrovic (1-0, 4.60) vs. Jr. RHP Tyler Smith (2-0, 4.74)

Wouldn't be surprised if Connor Gatwood and/or Ben Schorr see their first action tonight.

Angle is atrocious. They are playing on espn. It looks like they are filming from the stands. On one end, all you can see is a balding head.

Has been named HC at San Diago.

If you need a laugh this afternoon!

confirmed soon. ongoing investigations look bad for him

OF NOTE...

• RB Durell Robinson, the transfer from UConn, is out for the spring after undergoing surgery on his foot. This was a pre-existing injury.

• QB Ashton Daniels attended practice, but didn't participate. He is on spring break at Stanford. He will be back for good in May.

• QB Jackson Arnold threw the ball around nicely. This is my first time watching him at practice. He has a lot of horsepower in his arm and clearly has the ability to throttle up or throttle down the throws. Deep balls were mostly very good. Almost all of them gave him man a chance to compete for the catch. I only saw one that was FUBAR, but I didn't see what was happening when he threw it. (I was watching the receiver and the corner.)

• QB Deuce Knight is a tall, long dude. Not the quickest release. Mechanics remind me of Randall Cunningham, the former Eagles and UNLV star, whose motion looked more like a baseball pitcher. With that said, Knight gets plenty of velocity on the ball and his accuracy seemed at least decent. I only saw maybe 20 competitive throws.

• TE Preston Howard, CB Blake Woodby, S Kaleb Harris, CB Kayin Lee all "popped" for me. They made plays that stood out to me.

• I love Alvin Henderson's stature. He's short, he runs low, he's always looking ahead. I don't see how he's going to break out right now with Damari and Jeremiah and soon Durell ahead of him, but I am very interested in seeing how quickly he comes along during the next nine months or so.
