Trump and Biden are both in Tampa today, at different times though. This reminds me of my fav campaign story ever, when George W. Bush and John F. Kerry both came to Davenport, Iowa, on the same day, at the exact same time.

And 3 banks got robbed in an hour.

[Fun lil thread] There were 7,556 bank robberies in 2004. That 3 would happen within 2 miles, in one hour, while the police had two highest-profile VIPs in town, begs the question: coordination or coincidence?

Davenport PD immediately were like "yo this shit ain't on us, we were staffed up."

So here's a fun little story: I spent the morning in my mom's fourth-grade classroom, this being a perfect confluence of Teacher Appreciation Week and Mother's Day. The plan: to discuss writing. Outside of that, I don't have much in common with 10-year-olds, so I was nervous. I get there and the kids are PSYCHED. Here's a new adult!, someone who wants to talk to them!, someone who knows their teacher too! So we go over to the group corner, and the 20 of them sit cross-legged in a semi-circle looking at me in the chair.
