Marcus Freeman’s cold shoulder for Pat Narduzzi caps a cold-blooded statement win for Notre Dame Enough time has passed since those season-opening losses to Miami and Texas A&M to see Notre Dame for the Playoff team that it is.

πŸ“Senator Fetterman had a VFIBβ€”the leading cause of cardiac arrestβ€”he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Why Don’t People Return Their Shopping Carts? A (Somewhat) Scientific Investigation - by Hannah B. Waldfogel - Behavioral Scientist For reasons I can’t fully explain, people’s failure to return their carts bothers me more than it probably should. But then I realized I can do something about it.

1. Lack of social norms.
2. Lack of incentive.
3. More often than not: people are just ***holes.

Optimism. A passion for all things outside the country. The EXACT OPPOSITE of what’s happening to the US.

Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent Sean Dunn faced single misdemeanor offense after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

The sandwich guy has been acquitted.

When the jury did not return a quick verdict, it looked like he might be toast.

Turns out they needed to chew on it some more.
