Remember: kicking to go up 6 is a great way to give opponent better field position and lose by 1.

Our model strongly agreed with Giants decision.

Props to Mike Kafka for not kicking to go up 6. Regardless of how this game plays out, Kafka's strategy has been on all game

And then Jameis did a Jameis and threw a pick. He's such a trip, but so entertaining.

i have never been less surprised by anything in my life. i am unsurprised. i am negative surprised.

Thanks for the info. I was so surprised to see his name in the boxscore.

Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: Fernando Vazquez doesn't understand why Border Patrol agents took him into custody Tuesday. Agents from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pinned him to a gate at his Cary worksite, handcuffed him and pulled his wallet out. They saw his N.C. REAL ID. But Vazquez, 18, said they still kept him in handcuffs and ushered him into the back of a gray Chevy Tahoe. He sat next to another worker in his early 20s who was crying.

Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: 'I was in shock' Vazquez was born in Raleigh and lives in Apex. His parents are from Mexico, and he works with his dad as a landscaper. He graduated from Vernon Malone College and Career Academy in Raleigh. He was detained close to his former middle school, Reedy Creek.

Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: Vazquez said he saw eight agents — four from the Tahoe, and four from a Ford Explorer or Chevy Suburban. Agents put him in the back of the Tahoe and drove off. "I was in shock, basically," Vazquez said. While in the car, a different Latino agent asked Vazquez where he was from. "Here," Vazquez told him. "NO, where were you born?" the agent asked. Vazquez told him he was born in Raleigh. He said the agent got angry and cussed him out.

Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: The agents eventually allowed Vazquez out of their SUV, and he caught a video of them removing his handcuffs and throwing his wallet out of the car, its contents scattering on the ground. The video has over 5 million views on TikTok.

Trump's domestic Gestapo raided a job site, then handcuffed a US citizen born in Raleigh NC -- even after being shown the guy's REAL ID, which is only available to US citizens and LPRs

CBP+ICE will ignore your identifying documents when it suits their racism

Wait ... Clyde Edwards-Helaire is still on the Chiefs roster?

I mean, they could always just be observant unitarians, but it seems like they would have stayed in California in that case.

new “you cannot kill me in a way that matters” just dropped

Based on those two things, the most likely answer is "yes."

It really is! I love seeing the new stuff Julie has done when I randomly show up (okay, I've only been twice but the changes were cool). I need to get up there again and see the newest space.

Plus, as you say, Bayfield is very beautiful and charming.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Charges dropped against Utah doctor accused of throwing away $28,000 in COVID vaccine doses The federal government has dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines worth thousands of dollars during the pandemic.

This is fu*king outrageous!

The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards.

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

the only thing musk should be remembered for

For me it was the secretary in the History Department. She asked "do you really want to get a PhD or do you just not have any other ideas?" Twenty minutes later I was inquiring about applying to the law school.

Let’s go Bleral and help!

This has been one hell of a year (literally) for Kat and Mr. Kat, and next year is going to start out even more rough.

Ignore the target $$ - I don’t know when it was last updated or if it covers how their medical deductible will reset on Jan 1.

Looks like a beautiful day!!

In rural America, public radio saves lives In remote Alaska, public radio station KYUK is crucial during natural disasters. Without federal funding, how will it survive?

First, an earthquake hit Alaska. Then it was a typhoon. People turned to public radio for lifesaving information. Sen. Lisa Murkowski tried to get her colleagues to understand the importance of stations.

They voted to defund public media anyway.

I wanted to see this (via cbscfb)

Day one at North East is a wrap! Just need to get a hotel (instead of camping) and ponchos to ensure good weather!

Dogs did much better than last year for their first round. Day two tomorrow!

Yeah, that was such awful news to hear. I don't think I knew about it at the time of the game because I was in Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl and kind of in a bubble of BSU Broncos fans anticipating the game, but I remember the shock I felt when I did hear about it.

The huskies of Warren Elementary School were ready to race today! 🐾 Students asked thoughtful questions, built their own sled dog team, and more. Thank you Ms. Neels for inviting me. MUSH! 🛷 @capstonepub.bsky.social

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

In this tough and moving essay, Caroline Kennedy's 35-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg reveals that she is terminally ill with leukemia. She has some choice words about how her cousin Bobby has made the limited time she has left worse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
