Just my two cents but the thing where every casino on the strip is now owned by one of two companies who fix prices across all their properties so literally every single transaction is an enormous ripoff is probably not helping.

$40 valet parking at the f-ing Luxor, gee why isn't anyone coming?

Sarah Ramos in Parenthood. Since the show ended in 2015, she has become a TV staple, including roles in The Bear and Chicago Med.

WSJ OPINION
Congress and the administration should demand answers from WNBA leaders, investigate officiating and internal league communications, hold hearings, and insist on real reforms. The Labor Department should review league protocols for workplace safety. If evidence shows discrimination or retaliation, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division must act. If leaders remain inert, Congress should reconsider the WNBA's special privileges, including its antitrust and broadcast considerations. Checking referees' work with NBA-style "Last Two Minute Reports" would be a meaningful first step toward building trust.
Caitlin Clark has already done more for women's basketball than most athletes do for their sports in a lifetime. She's brought new fans, sponsors and unprecedented visibility to her league and peers.
None of that will last if the reward for excellence is physical targeting and institutional neglect. If the WNBA won't act, Washington must.

Dying at the mental image of Josh Hawley hauling some mid-level WNBA corporate person in for a Senate hearing and threatening with a DOJ investigation over a Last Two Minutes report that shows a missed hand check

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives β€” but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked…

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply β€” even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture.

The entire segment with Marion Crowder and Mike Watts on a USL national broadcast (ESPN2) is art. A commitment to the bit plugging Gnarly Sauce on TV and going full steam ahead eating it with wings and Mike taking a swig of it

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong".

Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".
