Wife got me the NFL’s “premium” package” back in ‘23, even living near Seattle about ⅓ of the 49er games (what we got the package for) were blacked out, including games like 9ers-Browns, about as out of market as they come. Wanna see 9ers-Browns while living no. of Seattle? That’ll be $40 more/mo

For a hot minute the ads were gone, the games were easy to find and the game information didn’t cater to absolutely horrific amounts of gambling interests. Now we’re in a spot where it’s *much* worse than 90’s cable era.

When the Democrats regain power, there must be consequences for any and all people who supported this lawlessness and crimes against humanity.
I say that because we are not at war and they don’t constitute war crimes.
It’s been straight up murder.

Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Animals have been kissing for over 17 million years, a new study suggests.
Kissing has long perplexed evolutionary biologists, given it has no obvious benefit to reproducing or finding food, while carrying the risk of disease transmission.
