Since demand is fairly inflexible and the supply comes from various places, shouldn't we be asking who benefits from these illegal, immoral attacks on small boats in the Caribbean?

It has the smell of a taxpayer supported protection racket.

Somebody always gets fat with this guy in office.

The Myth of the Brilliant Sociopath and how it hurts efforts to fight crime

Just a thought, but the West Virginia National Guard SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE BEEN in Washington, D.C.

Seems as if Woolen/Walker are two sides of the same coin, toolsy guys whose production rarely matches fan expectations. JSN is going to need two Brinks trucks for his next contract. RBs rarely get second contracts, Woolen...would be harder to replace. Any chance we keep/can afford him?

A certain amount of it is going to be forced upon us, yes. I have no interest in using AI as a creative shortcut, as a substitute for human interaction. I have no interest in using AI. It is the devil, and I'm not a religious guy. (I am a Luddite with a computer, so...)

We're all going to be using AI going forward?

Hell no.

Indie bookstore here: yes.

Gee. Buncha right leaning biz orgs want to deregulate. No parking, third party permitting…

Well, if Trump were linked to that…

Of the 38.3-million Americans receiving SNAP benefits, only 500,000 qualify for ACA. (If the Google isn't lying to me.)

Maybe it turns out the Dems were uncomfortable asking the poorest, most fragile among us to suffer so more affluent folk could afford health insurance.

The Coming Clash of Civilizations From the Wilderness of a Recovering Technocrat

At last this administration is doing something for the environment.

Cutting air travel.

He can't really come for NYC, can he? Too much of his actual wealth is tied up in real estate there.

Picture a fleet of code enforcers, tax collectors, fire inspectors...plaguing every property he owns, every property his extended family owns, every property his visible supporters own.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

The tyrant wants to blow things up so they’ve given him Venezuela.

But who gets the oil when it’s done?

Dreamed that I was sleeping.

If this is the price of my Mariners missing the World Series...again...I'm willing to pay it. We are all Blue Jays now.

Most media is owned by oligarchs. Or cowed by lawyers.

He isn't going to follow the rules because nobody can or will make him.

Not Congress, who wouldn't vote to impeach even tho they saw the crime. Not the courts, who have already made clear their allegiance.

Maybe us.

Maybe.

Alfred Jarry's absurdist play, "Ubu Roi," gave name to the spectacular Cleveland punk band Pere Ubu. Which means "King shit," and pardon my french.

Could we have a revival of that play, like, everywhere, all at once?

If we took the entire ICE budget, melted it down, and spent it on homes, on mental health counseling, on jobs training...how much better could the government make city life?

Just a thought from a country cousin...

Just like it will obey the rulings of judges with whom it disagrees. Right.

Dropping a question here before I forget to ask: Sundell...is learning a new position, right? So that's gotta be part of it. But how much of his failure is related to trying to cover for Bradford? My expectation is that he and Zabel can be a potent duo.

Well, I got one of those text opinion polls that listed him as a candidate for Senate…

UK quietly dismantles gender-inclusive housing and ties to identity-based groups In the past month, the University of Kentucky has revoked support for numerous identity-based student organizations (IBOs) and denied students access to gender-inclusive housing for the upcoming semes...

There's only one Ohtani...

One injury costs you two starters.

And it's a 17-game season. Not sure how you keep a pitch count on that kind of usage.

Koch pere self-published a sci-fi novel in the '60s in which millionaires got three votes instead of one.

They believe in democracy. Honest.

They just, uh, define it differently.

No pictures, no kings. 300 of us in eastern Kentucky.

Are these the two oldest QBs ever to start against each other in the NFL?

I fear the odds — and the guns — are against us.
