Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

So giving little kids trophies for doing park district soccer created a generation of weaklings unprepared for the competitive real world and unable to accept disappointment, but giving a 79-year-old someone else's Nobel is just how the world works nowadays, do I have that correct?

I get that Bloomberg is business focused but this is not how I would frame a Supreme Court ruling on the legality of Donald Trump's tariffs
A Supreme Court ruling on the legality of Donald Trump’s tariffs looms as one of the next big tests for US stocks and bonds. It could land as soon as today.

I would like to know exactly how many lawyers I have represented because I get asked that for expert gigs and I have no good way of actually counting. Our billing system does not make that easy (and would not include the 4 years before I got here).
Mid-hundreds is my guess, and more informally.

So, who here has experienced cruelty by someone speaking politely, maybe wearing a suit? ✋
But can anyone tell me what this bit means? “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.”

I'm not sure of the best, but I'm fixated tonight on being called "my dear" by both the outgoing Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and a Badger Bus driver within the span of 90 minutes

Since at least 2019, I've posted (on FB) about the "firsts" I experienced over the last year.
What's something that you experienced (big, little, good, bad, silly) for the first time in 2025?
Here's one: I attended my first stadium concert (chaperoning 15 at Kendrick Lamar/SZA in Minneapolis).

Trade show, 2004. I had just separated from my spouse and was apparently wearing an invisible "HI I AM NEWLY SINGLE" beacon.
Guy behind a booth starts talking to me about, I don't know, mops (it was the cleaning industry) and suddenly stopped and stared and said: "You have the most beautiful eyes."

There is so much cancer grid on social media right now (apricot seeds, ivermectin, “do your research but buy my supplement”) and today I saw someone tell a desperate woman to go to bed at 9 because “healing happens only before midnight.” That’s not necessarily grifty (sleep is free) but…huh?
