I haven't lived in Oregon since 2002 and have never owned a basketball jersey and I would wear the hell out of this.

My plan with Cigna was cancelled and I have to find a new one. Switching to BCBS, premiums will stay about the same but the deductible is more than doubled. If I were to stay with Cigna premiums would go up 20% and deductible would be tripled.

There are hopefully a number of people in a similar situation as the writer that saw this and were encouraged to see someone speaking out and hopefully give them courage to do the same. One op-ed doesn't earn instant trust, but it's a step in the right direction.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Free idea: a college football RedZone should have a Hater's Function. You plug in a list of teams you hate, and you can get notified if those teams are having a real bad time. Like Clemson is, right now.

They will use every single tactic they can to get what they want. No need to take anything they say at face value.

I will never forget the apocalyptic feel of driving to the FEMA supersite in Gary Indiana and the feeling of liberation of that jab.

I accidentally put on game 1 of the 2016 NLDS and now I may not be going to bed...

Funny how all that protect women’s sports energy went out the window as soon as WNBA players showed up with T-shirts bringing awareness to the lack of financial equity they have in their league.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Gonna go down as a historically good trade. And I love that we were ultimately able to get a player nearly as exciting as Javy in the trade.

After finishing up our trip last weekend, I would also highly recommend Semilla. Probably the best overall food we had in Paris. But the wine at Les ElΓ©phants was spectacular (food was very good with some spectacular dishes and one clunker). Bottom line is it's impossible to eat badly in Paris.

I have reservations at TRΓ‚M 130, Les ElΓ©phants, and Semilla over the next three nights, I'll let you know how it goes.
Also Le Servan is incredibly highly rated and I had one of my favorite meals ever there in 2017.

What’s the point in accumulating influence if you only use it to advocate positions that are already popular?

What does it say about you when you’re unwilling to expend your clout to stop a humanitarian catastrophe because the moral, decent position is polling 5 points underwater?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. β€œWhat can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty.

It's strength β€” not weakness β€” that curbs his baser instincts.

Now is the time for us to be strong.

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

time for possibly the greatest christmas banger of all time, and definitely the most overachieving cover in the history of music. this is like if someone tore up the club with hot cross buns
