All jokes aside, this is an incredible piece of analysis & the way it concludes by motioning to the growing phenomenon of RW billionaires buying & destroying anything that challenges their regime of unchecked profit & power should serve as a wake-up call to those of us still missing the thread.

the rule on quarterbacks under center not being able to go in motion is so obscure and ancient that it literally uses the phrase "t-formation quarterback"

T-Formation Quarterback. It is legal for a T-Formation Quarterback to go in motion, whether he has placed his hands under center, on his knees, or on the body of the center. However, it is a false start if the action is quick and abrupt. If the player fails to come to a complete stop for at least one full second prior to the ball being snapped, it is illegal motion.

We’re back tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:10pm on HBO! And we’re off next week! So yes, John will spend his usual 14 days at the desk by himself, missing the studio audience. And the at-home audience! But the studio audience provides him with “human contact” or whatever he’s always begging for. Diva.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

He got the COVID and flu Vaccines like every 79 year old should this is a good thing.
"Cardiovascular age validated by by ECG and found to be 14 years younger than chronological age" is a nonsensical phrase.
I am an internist this is not something we do or write in medical reports.
