The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

It’s nice that they based this on the well-known thing in soccer where everybody puts their hands on the ball at the same time.

Since the Big 5's founding, there has been a fraternity among its coaches.
They'd hang out after games. They'd celebrate each others wins.
The coaches believe this is unique to Philly.

Inside the Big 5 coaching fraternity: From wanting to ‘kill each other’ to being ‘brothers’
For years, the games between the city’s schools were intense, and often heated. While the level of camaraderie has changed, the former coaches believe that upholding the Big 5 brotherhood is worth it.

yes, it’s really that bad.
If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Hey, it's Giving Tuesday, so I'm once again asking that if you follow me on here, you give a couple bucks to @ppponline.org if you can. They really do some of the most important work imaginable, and especially as we settle into winter they need our support.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
