Is Fubo just suffering this week or is something up with our 1Gbps connection? Because this weirdness with these playoff games is weird. Somehow we got teleported back in time to before the pitching change in the bottom of the 8th.

Chase Sapphire Reserve’s Refresh Is So Good For Me I’m Kicking Myself For Not Paying The Higher Fee Early - View from the Wing

I wasn’t sure how to feel about the Chase Sapphire Reserve refresh at first. But now I’m realizing the new benefits are such a win for me that I’m kicking myself for not paying the higher fee early.

Likely not. Enforcement and Removal Ops fall into 'essential' white immigration court cases for non-detained cases likely go on the back burner. Proceedings for detainees should continue. But the longer the shutdown, the worse the backlog will grow.

P.S. I fucking hate that company, what it's done to small, Texas towns, and the identity politics associated with "Wally World"

Heavy Plates @heavyplates.bsky.social · 9d

The fact that we can feel sentimental about it only proves the point:

We would much rather remember the aisles of underpriced abundance than confront the empire it took to build them.

In other words, nostalgia for Wal-Mart is nostalgia for being more comfortable with our own complicity.

Heavy Plates @heavyplates.bsky.social · 9d

So when we pine for that era, we're not really mourning Wal-Mart. It's a self-indictment.

We are unwittingly admitting that our vision of the "good life" was built on collapsing wages, hollowed-out towns, and the cheerful violence of scale.
