We had a cardiac emergency at the rink tonight. Players, staff, and fans rushed to aid the player and the nearby fire station responded within two minutes and were able to resuscitate the player. I'm so thankful for everyone who responded and for the staff of the city of Ann Arbor!

Yeah, that must be it. They're doing great. Nothing to see here 🙄

Also, Altoona- and Ohio Valley-style pizza would like a word about "anything people want to put on pizza is ok". These are literal crimes.

This is documented proof that a personal opinion can be factually incorrect

That's pretty half-assed. You can do better than that. 🤣

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Holy Moses, the number of people in these comments that don't sense the sarcasm is staggering

Thanks! I find the most joy from guessing where they are and what they will bite on correctly, but I do like the serenity as well!

I hope you were at least able to wash them down with a terrible locally roasted coffee...

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.

And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition.

www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

In her recommendation, Bagdasarian stated,
"Any person over the age of six months without contraindication who has not received a dose of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved or-authorized 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine may be considered to have an underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 and is thus eligible to receive an age-appropriate dose."
