Bottom line: you must play well enough so questionable officiating can’t be a factor in the outcome of a game - the Ravens prove to be incapable of that.

But also this is not the first time the refs have made curious touchdown calls in the 4th quarter of this match up

It does not feel good to see an overrated coach squander the prime years of some talented athletes, but each loss brings us closer to the not-harbaugh era.

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Idk, just spitballing here.

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

The two most consistent themes of John Harbaugh’s Ravens: failure to close out games & failure to come out prepared. It’s always a litany of mistakes that well coached teams don’t make. It’s time.

I thought this was fairly well established, but: here's another new study showing that wind and solar complement each other and make for a more stable grid when combined.

My sister makes most of the meal while a handful of family members bring a dish. A few years ago, her in-laws forgot to make mashed potatoes+gravy. So they brought Boston Market, insisting it was homemade. She was pissed. They did it again the next year, and now it’s an annual bit.

Bus-size robot set to vacuum up valuable metals from the deep sea Scientists will monitor trial next month to assess collector’s ecosystem damage

My impression of this deep-sea mining debate happening between Vescovo and Gunasekara is best summed up by something I said 6 years ago:

"When you throw a new piece of technology into the ocean, the ocean tends to throw it right back at you."

First photo: Kramer sitting on the couch facing the camera and Jerry.
First caption: β€œI’m completely changing the configuration of my diet. You’re not gonna believe it when you see it. Whole new lifestyle!”

Second photo: still of Jerry looking puzzled.
Second caption: What are you doing?

Third photo: back to same perspective as first but Kramer is gesturing with both hands in front of him.
Third caption: Fractals! I’m taking broccoli and cauliflower off my grocery list and from now on it’s fractals.
