It's a psychological challenge to experience the "most wonderful time of year" when, as a kid, you never felt like it was the most wonderful time, and now you have a child and want them to have a wonderful time and yet also want them to grow up to care about people more than things. #parenting

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

We’ve Had Enough, 2025
Ok. Enough. We’ve had enough of 2025. It looks like we’ll make it to 2026. That’s something. Most of the people I know and stay in…

When coordinating with another family that has a child, it must take at least 15 texts to make a plan to get two families together, even if those families involve only 3 people each. This is one of the joys of adulthood.

NBA fans, here's a scheduling idea:
Lets play 6 games in 9 days and then 2 games in 11 days. In middle we'll have important (mostly meaningless) tournament games. We'll make sure those are on the streaming service so nobody knows exactly how to watch without navigating through many options.

Article has no info on Suarez, not much on Okamoto, no discussion of Mayer possibly moving to 3B if we sign Bichette (who is not a contact hitter). Curious why you focused heavily on fan ire rather than options available. If we don't add serious RHB, then we'd have reason.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Elon Musk contributed $300 million to Republicans in the 2024 election
The top 7 contributors all donated to Republicans, for a total of $1 billion
By contrast, the top 7 Democrat-supporting candidates (had to go down to the 24th biggest contributor to find them) donated 25% of that

Westbrook throwing down another triple-double. Derik Queen going 33/10/10. At what point do we begin to recalibrate the meaning of these stats? Offenses are unguardable, the pace is torrid, and anyone can sneeze out trip-doub. We're at a tipping point.

I have a child but I refuse to join the cult of Christmas card joy via smiling postcards including collages of children to everyone.
Life hasn't been all smiles and vacations for us and I doubt its been for these other families either. There's an AI-qualtiy to these cards. Look at us! Happy family!

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
