On the doorstep of a division title, the Steelers lost to a Browns team that entered Sunday with as many starting QBs (three) as wins.

It’s hard to remember a regular-season loss with so much on the line and such an inferior opponent:

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!

It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

Want to use rich people like me to your advantage? Incent us to help those who need it the most. Lower corp taxes for comps that pay a min of $25 per hour. Lower corp taxes if employees get stock at the same pct as the CEO.

Bottom up incentives work. Dems never innovate. They bitch

This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.

Math is hard.
"We've cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500 percent. I don't mean 50 percent. I mean 14-, 1,500 percent," Trump said.

Pretty sure this was a Modern Family episode.
Took all the batteries out of all three Nests we have in the house because of hours of intermittent beeping. They’re all in the garage now. But the beeping continues. No idea where it’s coming from. Only happens when we’re in bed and never when we’re searching for the sound. Going insane.
