she's only technically a starter. i think she just starts so jewel can say she "comes off the bench" for whatever mental block she has

the amount of stress this caused her and me!!! her and my dad were just without meds for a week trying to figure it all out. it's like these companies sit in a room and think of ways to make our lives more miserable

shoutout luigi mangione because what do you mean my moms insurance just decided to stop covering walgreens on a whim and now she has to transfer all my parents prescriptions to a different pharmacy and spend hours on the phone cause the prices are different??

so much of the american experience is being on hold with pharmacies for so long you decide it might just be easier to die

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

thanks for this piece! to me, the sheer number of times they say "social and strategic" or some variation of it reeks of their inability to admit a mistake/l or fault. they know they screwed up but as always feel the need to double down and literally threaten the fans with the twist

covering his ass to make up for the fact he missed plenty of good calls to use it on! real lack of faith in AT there that he just assumed the calls were fair. same reasoning that the refs used to call them

Brandie @freetacos.bsky.social · 5d

YES! and you can say they wouldn't have won anyway (prob not) but you cannot understate the impact of so many bad calls on momentum and on-court morale! by the 3rd quarter, only Kah was in playoff form. everyone else was sloppy, taking bad shots, getting ripped, etc

pretty upsetting for nate to let two egregious foul calls against AT go only to use his challenge on a foul you could see from a mile away #wnba

An option where if enough fans want it after a bad call, a button is pressed and Cheryl Reeve runs out on the court ready to fight. #WNBA #PHXvsLV

Sarah Spain ✨ @sarahspain.com · 5d

And that is also a terrible foul call on Alyssa Thomas. #4 for her, too. Yikes.
