this game is an escort mission for the colts. they have to gain yardage in small chunks and wait for philip rivers to walk up to the line. every couple minutes he spits out some dialogue like "hurry – we have to reach the satellite uplink so we can deliver evidence of the ambassador's wrongdoing"

I opened LinkedIn for some reason and one of the first posts was lauding the Time's "Person of the Year" nonsense of naming "The Architects of AI"
My eyes almost rolled out of my skull, but then they bugged out when I saw the comments; effing /all/ of them were AI-negative

the most cursed nfl franchise is pretty obviously the diamondbacks, who in 1998 were transformed into an arizona baseball team by an evil wizard. i'm surprised this is ever debated

I can give it this credit: AI did remember the ‘05 White Sox, and that’s something ESPN didn’t like a dozen times over the years
For anyone worried AI will replace all of us.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

The big belief a lot of these guys have is that they are the smartest in the room, they were drawn to liberal politics because of its openness to wonks, but when the political fights of the day are driven by values and over arching beliefs they fall apart and get mad

This is going to end terribly for at least the Colts and maybe Rivers but gosh dang it am I rooting for a good outcome
The Colts will start QB Philip Rivers on Sunday against the Seahawks, sources tell The Insiders.
Age 44, out of retirement, after a full week of practice, Rivers is a go.

clown shit. this isn't a story about worker's rights. this is a story about racism.
"working-class solidarity" with someone willing to call someone else a racial epithet isn't working-class solidarity, it's tolerating racism.
this shouldn't be hard.

“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Who in the USA gov runs the program?

this sora/disney partnership will, if allowed to go on for a period of time, deeply hurt disney's brands because they'll just be subjected to internet-brained whim
and that means porn-esque stuff, vulgarity for vulgarity's sake, etc
i don't judge any of that, but they do, it matters to them
