Is there ever going to be an interviewer who pushes back and tells him that immigrants seeking asylum is different than insane asylums?

Matthew Schaefer netted the tying goal in the /NYIslanders' late comeback win and became the youngest defenseman in NHL history with a multi-goal game, besting Bobby Orr.

It feels like a real man advantage when Schaefer is on the ice with a man advantage.

Isles haven't had this since Streit.

I was just thinking that comparison. He’s the last time the isles had a genuinely good pp quarterback with a shot

If this is the case, why is he playing instead of getting surgery and hopefully being healthy for the stretch run and playoffs? Seems extremely unwise.

Pure cruelty.

Officially, stores cannot give SNAP recipients preferential treatment absent a waiver, w waivers given to places encouraging healthy eating.

So obvs a rule aimed at preventing junk-food places from targeting SNAP.

This is … SO much not that.

And this enforcement is a CHOICE.

And I've complained enough about it, but I am confident the vast vast majority of people think there's some kind of immigration system migrants are "skipping" and they ought to be doing their application and waiting so that the rules can be followed.

At some point, the reliance on these euphemisms becomes a kind of propaganda or acquiescence.

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

My baby has just begun to start walking places so we put down an area rug in our living room so she can get all around our table and couch setup. Naturally she has decided that means she can speed walk on the areas the rug does not cover lol

Are you sure your model isn’t overestimating the importance of the β€œfumble” on a lateral play to end the game?

In all seriousness kind of surprised it was that low? Yes Clemson outgained Duke but it only had one scoring drive result in less than 7 points, same as Duke. Would’ve figured it’d be like 35 percent or something

The implicit assumption that white rural voters are the *real* voice of the masses, while the people who live around the major population centers (ie the majority of the country) are out of touch degenerates remains an unshakable feature of punditry. Truly nasty work
