I wonder what about Reich, who went 3-5-1 with the Colts, stood out over Wilks, who went 6-6 with the actual Panthers. What difference could there possibly be to overshadow their respective records this season. Hmm. HMMMMM.

The funniest part is that Hamlin was at the Bills game Sunday and they made a *huge* deal about it, and he tweets once a day or so including a photo earlier this week, so there are in fact social media posts, pictures, and live video.

On the bright side, there is an untapped business opportunity here to make a small fortune selling half-baked Fauci-themed NFTs to the worst people on the planet.
My snap judgment is still Porter, incidentally.

We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing “the” labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

Yeah nah, nobody is paying me to be profoundly disappointed in him. I've been a fan of his since Cal and apparently I was an idiot for that. Never be a fan of anyone, especially white dudes.

Well, I thought the Damar Hamlin conspiracy theory was the craziest shit I'd heard today. It currently comes in at No. 2. wp.me/pbBqYq-cwjg

Great, now the ACLU doesn’t understand that the first amendment doesn’t apply to private businesses either. Get back to me when they ban him for being part of a protected minority rather than for inciting a mob to storm the Capitol.
We are saddened to report the sudden passing of Lover’s Player Ramiel Jang. Our hearts go out to San Fransisco. The ILB will miss seeing Jang play, but you can’t miss the brand new Play Tab, your hub for all things Blaseball only on Blaseball.com. ⚾️🩸

Having opinions isn't disqualifying for a reporter, as long as our commitment to the truth is stronger it's fine. What is disqualifying? Losing empathy. Once you stop seeing people as people, stop caring how actions and policies affect people, there's no coming back from that.

Risks to Humanity:
- We hit the climate change tipping point and turn Earth into Venus
- Ebola goes airborne and nobody mandates quarantines because it would be politically unpopular
- Musk intentionally sets off the Yellowstone supervolcano for the lulz

No disrespect to the atomic scientists but let’s be real, we’re gonna burn down the Earth long before we get a chance to irreparably irradiate it with nuclear war.

My alma mater, UC Santa Cruz, insisted their mascot was the Banana Slug despite administration denials starting in 1970, with the Chancellor even refusing to honor a referendum in 1986. The students won and it's official to this day.
Your mascot is the Hippo if you say it is.

Am I the only person who's mildly annoyed that the various Enterprises lasted, in order, 41, 7, 36, 12, 8, and ~37 years? Like, ok, the C and D were destroyed, but why decommission the A so fast? What's the expected lifespan of a Federation starship?

I think, thanks to Everything Everywhere All At Once, for the first time since I've been old enough to care the best movie I saw in a year is also nominated for Best Picture for that year.
Now, I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of the Oscars, but I’m pretty sure Everything Everywhere All At Once is the first best picture nominee to have a buttplug fight in it

The proposal is a compromise for a bill directing extra resources to Black students, but by targeting the lowest-income schools instead nearly 90% of those helped would be Latine, with Black students making up roughly the same share of the enrollment as in the state as a whole.
Quote Tweet
Rather than target funds to all Black students, @GavinNewsom's plan would target the lowest-income schools that educate about 5% of all students and only 6% of Black students, an EdSource analysis shows. Black students make up 5.1% of the state’s students.

Just to be clear, when the New York Times reported that the FBI saw “no link between Trump and Russia” — a week before the 2016 election — the FBI agent who was just arrested over ties to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska was heading up the investigation.
Just an absolute scandal.

Al Michaels met Sal Bando on his first day at Arizona State in 1962. Bando went on to win the College World Series MVP in 1965, then was captain of the Oakland A’s World Series championship teams in 1972, 1973 & 1974. #RIPSalBando
