The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard

when was the last stretch for Joel where he seemed physically well for 20 games? Meaning as many games as a deep playoff run. The frustration is that even if he shows flashes for a week or two in December, there’s zero confidence that he’s going to be able to sustain it for 2 months in the playoffs.

@damonlindelof.bsky.social Surely a Patti L tribute:

Nikola friggin' Jokic, man.

A 66-footer to give him a 22-21-15 triple double at the end of the third quarter. Sure. Why not.

Feds or NYPD?

Is there such a thing as being injury-prone with some sense that an athlete gravitates towards awkward collisions, or is that always dismissable as “bad luck” or randomness? To put it another way, how many orbital fractures to one guydoes it take before it’s not called bad luck?

Buford (or Bittman?) had something about not salting them before roasting them; that’s been a help. Unavoidable + great In ratatouille. But i otherwise have struggled at times w/ finding a ton of go-to uses. Can i just call them a 6.5? Maybe an unfair comparison but way happier with eggplant lately

Unfortunately age-appropriate-ish short term memory loss is making it too hard to keep count of all the musicians here that i recognize, but it might be a lot

It’s hard to be positive about others’ memories anyway, but it’s especially hard because there’s no way anyone who saw the pregnant doc get stabbed in the gut with the syringe will ever forget it

Different Futures For Pennsylvania Elections Collide in November’s Supreme Court Race Candidates for an open seat on the court would take election law in divergent directions, as disputes loom over mail voting, gerrymandering, and ballot counting in this key swing state.

1️⃣ Pennsylvania's supreme court.

There's a vacant seat on a swing state court that's frequently rendered tight decisions. GOP candidate has indicated she'd be interested in restricting mail voting, in a state where that's sure to have cases next year.

I expect the national media to sleep on state elections, but still, I find it unbelievable that the NYT's article on the 'top elections' to watch tomorrow includes Philadelphia's mayoral election (it's a general election in Philly!), but not PENNSYLVANIA'S SUPREME COURT race.
