Is to answer that it’s liberal feminism’s fault?

Dream postdoc just dropped. One-year postdoc ($70K) at Yale's @yalewhc.bsky.social for the Franke Seminar in the Humanities on the incredible theme of ROT: Politics, Aesthetics, Regeneration. Taking folks from #histSTM, food studies, environmental humanities, etc. App due 12/8.

Finally, two shots in quick succession for some Joey Chestnut action

Adding some intrigue to an anemic Seattle Reign attack in the NWSL
Playoffs. We’re at 18 minutes and…0 dogs.

People love to believe there’s an easy button.

I have some large white walls in need of art. Would love to purchase originals from emerging artists. I like modern art and photography, bold colors. Suggestions?

I do not understand, with these outcomes, why the barrier of a $245 co-pay for Medicaid. The ROI / productivity gain on the $3k is a no-brainer, if that’s really what they’re evaluating.

Somebody must have been blackout drunk for most of the 1970s. Inflation was...quite bad.

I help small businesses and the self-employed get health insurance. I've been doing this since 2013 as a COO / CFO. The difference between options and pricing for one f/t employee are stark enough that I would consider a quickie divorce, set up an LLC, and hire my now-single partner.

Ah, yes, thr pyrrhic affordability win for people who make less than $28,000 per year to spend $3,000 for a course of anti-obesity drugs. So much winning.

@theguardian.com has reviewed All's Fair as ZERO stars. I wasn't going to watch it but...zero? How bad does something have to be to earn a zero?

Things currently hitting my 2026 pocketbook:
- Higher health care premiums
- Higher energy prices
- Higher grocery costs
- Far exceeding savings from small business QBI allowance

Extract and educate me on that.

Heavy 🧊 activity in Koreatown, East Hollywood, and Westlake / Pico-Union. Community action notices inbound all day.

What about the self-employed and small businesses that don’t have access to large group plan options?

Bummed to hear this. Teen Vogue has been an excellent source of political reporting over the last 12-15 years, especially on reproductive rights and workplace equality.

2026 health insurance open enrollment has started.

If you have a team on payroll, set the employer policy, lock in your service provider, and send the team note on what the company will cover.

If you are a solo founder, check network, deductible, and total annual cost.

There go the funds for another five city programs to settle LAPD lawsuits 🙄

I assume everyone writes whatever they call their mom

But have we checked that it's not from the Heidi Klum line that they killed?

Did the Fox Sports team have a Drake song teed up over the highlights if this went another way?

Happy for the players, middle finger to Mark Walters. Stop funding detention centers.

HAD TO END ON A DOUBLE PLAY

Does Yamamoto get MVP? Or Miggy for some out-of-hand moments?

The reserve bag of fancy Spanish potato chips has been destroyed.

I have no bad things for Vlad between the Shohei first base hijinx and the game-worn Marie-Philip Poulin jersey as a tunnel fit.

You're built different (and better...because you were secretly celebrating Samhain)

I errantly advised three Canadians to turn on their TVs in the bottom of the 9th.

My internal coach was screaming "call it! call it! dammit, use your words!"

So NC v Gotham is the watch. And it's one of the games not available on NWSL+ and access-restricted due breakdown of a YouTube-Disney rights. Cool, cool, cool.
