This lineup is so depressingly bad that I'm starting to wonder if there's some sort of "Major League" plot here where they're actively trying to depress their viewer numbers.

Unironically, thanks, Joe Biden: it was the federal funds to improve safe pedestrian access to mass transit locations that made this possible.

occurs to me that we might be getting the "there's a problem of lonely males with no friends or romantic partners" and "there's a lucrative industry of toxic male influencers who tell young men to act like assholes" causation arrow backwards

Exactly the same pattern that saw RFK Jr. push out CDC leadership: he cannot tolerate dissent and will use public resources to punish critics. This is what happens when the President normalizes this sort of abuse of power.

Wait hold on.

“They were really close,” one of the pilots told controllers of the encounter at approximately 26,000 feet. “We were climbing right into him.”

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.

I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.
We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

FYI it's not too late to ship your loved ones a 30 ounce sealed container of high quality canned Cougar Gold cheese straight from the University of Washington and have it arrive before Christmas. nothing says "i love you" like cheese that can be aged indefinitely

These people want leftist and liberals to come back to Twitter so badly. They give all kinds of reasons, but the fact is without them the Nazi bar marinates in its own juices and they can't stand it.

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

I have a few vivid memories of when national testing infrastructure was woefully under-scaled and hospitals just used lung X-ray with "ground glass opacity" as a fast and dirty diagnostic tool on anyone with symptoms & low O2 readings.

Also helping folks spin up distributing cheap pulse ox monitors
The biggest threat of COVID in the early days of the pandemic was it was overwhelming healthcare infrastructure. Once the vaccine came out it really did flatten the curve enough for infrastructure and treatments to catch up. It can still be very hard on one’s health, so we should all get vaccinated.
I think COVID is no longer the apocalyptic threat it once was.

It’s important to contextualize just how much less safe American drivers are than everywhere else in the world, and it’s getting worse!

So if you thought pesticide use in "industrial agriculture" is bad, it has NOTHING on what the indoor weed guys were doing back in the HPS lights era.

You'd hear ppl saying stuff like "oh yeah I just fill up a 50-gal drum w fungicide, dip the whole plant in upside down, problem solved! 🤠"

For Pluribus fans, the song from the most recent episode is "Esperanza" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez."

You're welcome.

This show is so well written and made. Levels.👍🏿

A US character upgrades from a cop car to a Rolls, while a South American one downgrades from a convertible to walking the Darién gap?
