Some personal news: I wrote a picture book for kids! It’s about a quirky pup and his journey to find his forever home. If you need a great holiday gift for kids you love and want to support an independent author, this fits the bill! www.kristinhansonwrites.com/book

This game absolutely, truly refuses to let me go to sleep. And I really gotta go to sleep.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me"
you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

My favorite sports media trope is, first, spend an entire season talking about how a team is underachieving and its coach is on the hot seat, then, react with abject outrage when said coach is fired.

Not surprised by Whitt. Moderately surprised by Kliff. Slightly concerned about the lack of continuity this early in JD’s career, but hoping this means they‘ll bring in an OC that will maximize his talent without letting him break himself on every play. 🙏🙏
More on the Commanders parting ways with Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr. after two seasons in Washington:
In major shakeup, Commanders part ways with OC Kliff Kingsbury and DC Joe Whitt Jr.
After finishing 5-12, the Commanders are making major changes on both sides of the ball.

Real hard to feel anything but mild disgust at the pageantry over America 250 while we’re literally committing war crimes. And before you @ me, yes, I understand the US had *always* committed war crimes. But the juxtaposition right now is So on the nose it’s unreal.

I’m gonna be a pest about this every time Cignetti does something big because it still boggles my mind he was once coach at my alma mater, itty bitty Elon. Yes, JMU took him from us.
Curt Cignetti looks kind of annoyed he has to be on the stage celebrating the Rose Bowl win instead of being able to watch film already.

We haven't seen an Indiana squad turn back an Alabama offense this decisively since Antietam

Excellent post. 😂
today is the day we find out whether the Rose Bowl grounds crew deserve their reputation as the best in the game, or whether they are simply Nice Weather Merchants
They're working on that Rose Bowl field in the background 😂

Daycare is already thousands of dollars a month and you want to add *receptionists* to the bill? These are not serious people.
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

I want to say 4 out of every 5 of my friends/contacts who have been laid off in the last year or two have had to become freelancers, not by choice but because they have no other options. It’s horrific out there.

This whole Monsters Inc simulcast is a cute idea but…why are we doing this on MNF? The target audience (I.e., my 6-year-old) has bedtime before kickoff.

There’s no reason for Jayden Daniels to be playing at all anymore this season, and leaving him in to get battered like that is a fireable offense.
