Sure, replace the curriculum with AI. (fwiw, I was trying to find any extant correspondence between EH and Cushing on the auction market).
Anyone else have a big dog but also an even bigger dog so you think about your big dog as a little dog?
I was standing in this bucolic setting in line for a hayride amidst these colorful gourds when a murmur suddenly went through the (not pictured but very present) crowd. Franklin out. The chatter on the hayride was about how he’ll now get $48 million to do f—k all. #pennstate
I made a Ralph Ingersoll and Martha Gellhorn appreciation meme.
Meanwhile, MLB: whY d0N't KiDs WatCH baSebALL anYmOre?
Screw you, MLB, for licensing your games on a case by case basis and not including them in your own streaming package. I had to buy 5 different services to catch all of the playoff games.

But switching the Mariners game to a channel that I don’t have midway through the fourth inning? Unreal.

As a cyclist I appreciate it when cars yield to me except when I’m going up a hill. So embarrassing.
He doesn’t seem very excited that the Guardians are in first. #guardsball #schoolnight
Dear lordt that Guardians inning was crazy. Thought for a minute we’d watched a man die on live TV.

I suffer from migraines (which I say w/ awareness of how "suffer from" can be misused w/ certain diagnoses--I assure you I suffer from them) & Tylenol was the only pain relief my OB wd recommend during my pregnancies. That and the $800 bag of ER saline (thx for nothing) I got during the worst one.
