Offering services through urgent care, possibly the first of its kind in the country.

What stands in the way? Insurance companies, of course! They wanted a $60k malpractice rider.

“And when they looked at the evidence, they actually knocked it down to — what is it, $6,000 a year?”

Pays to argue.

Seeing a lot of "don't blame the refs" but there are video receipts, in case you want to. It wasn't everything, but there's a legitimate complaint here.

People running around yelling "rigged" has the make the NFL and the betting orgs nervous.

Brian Branch breaks the “no turd” rule, leads NBC this morning. Very ugly way to spare us the Taylor Swift reaction shots. 🙄

Sports media getting to be as bad as political media, and why I stick with radio.

For the record I don’t like Branch, and wish we could bounce him. Done with his act.

Take the 3. Very nice drive, a little too cutesy, but well executed overall.

Love this offense. 😍

I kid about Flacco but he just threw another 4th down TD, followed by 2 pt strike, both impressive.

wizardkitten @wizardkitten.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah well Joe Flacco just had 1st and goal at the 1 ft. line, turned that into a 4th and goal at the 4 or so after a false start and a sack, and then threw a TD.

He's a B-list romcom star playing QB.

Baker Mayfield getting crushed by a blitz, throwing a TD then getting up and talking shit. He’s a DB playing QB

My go-to is overloaded because no one else wants to watch the Cowboys either. Thanks FOX! 🙄

Keep hoping for Beaver Island to pop up again but I bet a lot of folks leave for the winter.

Detroit area has exploded. We actually have 3 in GR - events before and after main event, which will probably blend into one big moving mass like last time.

Rs keep it up, maybe more by end of the week! 😄

Nexstar up in Lansing thanks to The Hill's penchant for drama. Expect everywhere.

"House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) slammed the “No Kings Day” protests in an interview on Fox News on Friday, when he said he’s 'a very patient guy, but I’ve had it with these people.' "

Not your subjects, Mike. 🖕

October 18th. Be there.

Map of Michigan showing all the No Kings locations for the mass protest on October 18th. There’s one near you.

To include the UP, it shows Chicago and eastern WI as well, and holy shit this is going to be HUGE.

For another mind-blower go check out the east coast at the link above. No way the press can ignore this.

The other channel had monster movies and when you’re 10… 🤷‍♀️

Got into it later, but pretty much bailed after the original cast left. Never dreamed it would last this long.

Oct 11th 1975 - 50 years ago today, NBC's Saturday Night (later renamed Saturday Night Live) premiered.

3 Screenshots from the movie "Saturday Night" (2024): First, a black screen displays a quote in yellow text: “The show doesn’t go on because it’s ready. It goes on because it’s 11:30.” – Lorne Michaels. Second, a bustling nighttime street scene in front of NBC Studios, with neon signs and steam rising from the ground, labeled “October 11th 1975.” Third, a person wearing a denim jacket and headset stands in a room with floral wallpaper, saying, “Live from New York. It’s Saturday Night!”
