Police and paramedics showed up a few minutes later, he said. As paramedics placed tourniquets on Martinez's leg and arm, a bullet fell out of her arm and onto the shop's floor, the manager said.

C’mon, man. It’s incredibly irresponsible to draw any correlation between the accident and his performance without more information. Your job is to ask him about it, not engage in speculation.

My spouse has this thing he calls β€œgrasshopper moments” β€”from when he was a kid and he realized that grasshoppers are called that because they hop in the grass. I was today years old when I realized that quart is short for a quarter of a gallon. As in a quart of milk.
I have a PhD.

β€œDuke Health has not received a rate adjustment from Aetna in four years”

β€œIf we end up out of network, Duke is the one who made that choice,” [state Treasurer Brad Briner] said.

Hard to square these two statements. If the requested increases are less than inflation, Aetna looks unreasonable here.

It’s Eric Collins, who I believe also does play-by-play for the Charlotte Hornets TV broadcast.

He likes making the game about himself sometimes, which isn’t so fun when it’s your team struggling. This is why I always listen to @jonesangell.bsky.social on the Tar Heels Sports Network.

A β€œChoose Your Own Adventure” book. The cover depicts a grassy park surrounded by a forested area with a small Japanese (?) shrine made of stone. An average Caucasian man, who might be a frat boy, in a white t-shirt and blue jeans is kicking the shit out of a ninja, who is one of three ninjas trying to beat his ass.
