In addition to seeing random people compete in Olympic events, I'd love to see random people coach football games

Oooooooooooof

Went to www.justice.gov/epstein Searched for "trip" Found this weird thank-you note to Epstein that someone made to look vaguely like an illuminated manuscript: www.justice.gov/epstein/file... Weird and repellent. Really don't want to search beyond that. The favors, dependence, reverence. Ugh.

PLEASE ask an absurd amount to swing a sledgehammer at or drive a bulldozer over anything with his name on it. I'll gladly pay it (and cover an opportunity for someone else to do that, too). Put the money toward re-funding everything they raided.

Holy crap chart from Gallup

Better check him for a concussion

"Not even that close!" Thank you.

This will surely be a completely normal game

But this report may understate inflation a bit. Here's why: Usually the BLS collects prices all through November. But the shutdown kept it closed for the first half of November. So more prices than usual were collected in the middle of "Black Friday" sales.

“call your congresspeople and beg them not to sentence trans people to death” is a regular feature of our politics now and it fucking sucks

I've tried and failed a couple times to write a post explaining how serious this would be. NCAR is globally essential to our climate change response. This can't just be replaced. Every scientist in the world will be doing climate research with one hand tied behind their back for at least a decade

Obviously he needed to play Take Off! more often.

Pacific is just outside of Tacoma, WA and about an hour south of Seattle - a second levvee broke last night and this town is under water.

One possession into the game and Nick Emmanwori has two passes defense and great run stop for no gain. The kid is so, so good.
