Poll: Capitalism is out … and socialism is in The movement is gaining popularity among Democrats, a left-leaning group found.

Honestly, this felt like a 2010 game. As Big Mike used to say, “Gotta get back to fundamentals.” “Team needs to learn to handle success.”

What will it take for the offense to score more points?

In honor of our opponent this week, what is your favorite “Brown” food (not tan)? Brownies are an obvious choice, but don’t sleep on molasses cookies, or a rich piece of rye bread.

Love more Tyler Brooke! You guys have a fun, entertaining, and informative give and take!

This is the moment for image macros to spread their wings and fly.

Where do you expect more innovation to happen this year, run game or pass game? Year two of Jacobs and O Line changes vs. adding Golden/williams and getting more tight end involvement?

When’s the last time you’ve seen Oreo innovation like the Selena Gomez cinnamon?

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, or Transformers.

AI may deskill labor in the coming years, just as tech has done for many trades. But even if the human hand may not always produce a better product, it may be special for the sake of craft.

Fifth place, pick one from 3 Ninjas, The Next Karate Kid, Surf Ninjas, or the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie (I said what I said).

I’m an 88 kid and grew up playing my uncle’s NES. This is the list. Contra, Punch Out, TSB, and Zelda were the first games I went to when I got my retro handheld. Appreciate you sharing!

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

She’s 100% right. It takes far more optimism to face horrific realities and keep going than to keep your head in the sand in the first place.

For me, we’re not getting much from Dame or for him the next two years and we’d miss out on the Myles opportunity. You need a big like him next to Giannis and if you wait you’ve missed two of Giannis’ best remaining years. Plus, there might be more cap space next year to hit FA again and find more.
