An unfortunate side effect of more media being statistically literate, I think. Fans are treated like rubes for liking players who aren’t analytics darlings

greenland, fine, but voters damn well should care about masked government thugs abducting and killing people, and it’s dem politicians’ job to get them to care. maybe that’s unfair but so is most of politics

Being abducted or murdered by masked government thugs does affect one’s standard of living, I think

Did they attack too early or was it just ridiculously easy for LaMelo to score?

unfortunately part of the issue seems to be that young people don’t drink. which is good for lots of reasons, but has the unintended consequence of kneecapping already struggling venues. no idea what to do about that either

And he wouldn’t be getting IV’s in his hands, of all places, even if he was getting some regular IV therapy

amusing that Chet vs Wemby is being hyped as a "rivalry" when Wemby is clearly so much better. Which isn't a slight on Chet!

Mine also. So distressing.

how concerned is the coaching staff and front office right now? do they still think this is a playoff roster or do they see the need for major changes?

So if Trump is getting some kind of IV medication, they almost certainly would have placed a port or PICC line by now. Those go into larger veins and are easily concealed under clothing.

I’m sorry you brother had to deal with that amid undergoing chemo. If someone needs IV therapies regularly, there are several options for longer term venous access (ports, PICC lines, etc). They’re usually preferred over placing peripheral IV’s, especially if the patient is a “hard stick.”

it's not an IV bruise. there's no reason to put an IV in the dorsum of the hand unless you can't get one in anywhere else. even if he is getting regular IV medications, they'd just put the IV in his forearm or somewhere else that is easily concealable.

The fact that LLMs are adept at appearing empathetic has already led to serious adverse mental health consequences for some.

Same problems as last year, which they didn’t fix

It’s also not new. Many Indians were Reagan republicans. But most are still dems.

That is what I’m wondering. Some of what ICE is doing feels totally random, but what if it isn’t? If they have the surveillance technology to pinpoint people’s exact location, what else could they do?

I feel like I haven’t seen an analysis of how ICE is finding people to abduct- what surveillance methods are they using? Not only are these suburbs far apart from each other, they aren’t all places with high immigrant populations. How does ICE decide to hit Waukegan one day and Blue Island the next?
