Attendance revenue is not nothing, but a fair debate can be had as to whether it is “hugely important”. Also, revenue sharing is not part of this probably because it’s a zero-sum source for teams in general, meaning some teams make money off other teams who pay.

To be clear, when Trump talks about how the “Human Rights of people have been strenuously questioned”, he has championing white people and only white people.

Depending on where you live, you better hurry and get it before your local library pulls it off their shelves.

Especially when it gets applied more and more to people of non-African descent, such as “sand [n-word]s” and “feather [n-word]s”.

Dropkick Murphy is right. Only a rat turns his back on his friends for no good reason, and that’s what Trump led America to do.

They’re not replacing phone support with text. They’re replacing it with nothing. The whole idea is to get you to give up trying to get your full benefits when they start stiffing you, so they can do something else with that money instead.

My advisor tells me to avoid moving any of my money out of current US funds into international like Europe and Japan because it would be like a knee-jerk reaction. Thinking strongly about overruling them. Their time horizon is probably longer than mine.

Watching spring games on TV is not so good either, unless you really like watching scrubini players being interviewed for an entire inning or more. Especially where they show a two-camera shot where the bigger frame is the player and the smaller frame is the game action. It’s even worse when they do that same shot during regular season games and the bigger frame are three guys in a booth.

And it’s a feature that probably about a third of all voters explicitly pulled the lever for.

Great catch. By not putting “brief” in quotes, they are basically affirming the regime’s claims.

2024: Pitching chaos = playoff appearance 2025: Position player chaos = ???

It’s revenue. No way they can pass that up.

Yes, that count. Eerily similar circumstances.

I think there is zero chance he goes back on Khalil. Trump is beholden to Jewish/Israeli interests that influence his administration and his red hat base (who, even though they don't particularly like or respect Jews, need Israel to pursue the certain course they say will bring Christ back again); and he has already publicly regarded Muslims as not being worthy to be in America, with his blanket bans on visits from countries that are primarily Muslim.

The questions that leap to my mind are (1) why is he qualifying "physically"? What are all the others ways he would admit to having hurt people?; and (b) why does he draw the line at hurting someone "physically", as though hurting people any and all other ways is acceptable?

Pasting this here from the pet peeve thread. Speaking of ages and movies, I wondered something as I was watching the movie "Pride of the Yankees", googled it, and it's true: Gary Cooper, the actor who played Lou Gehrig, was born two years before Gehrig was. I wonder whether any other actor in a major motion picture ever played a real-life character they were actually older than.

You misspelled “when”.

No matter how much weight you have to lose, you should always allow yourself one cheat day per week in which you get to eat what you want and don’t count the calories. It’s a great carrot to make getting hit by the stick more palatable—it’s good for your mental state. Of course, this works only if you are religious the other six days of the week. If you backslide a second day, that will blow everything up.

Set it up for her without her knowing, then show it to her. If she still rejects it, then eh, you did what you could to make things easy on her. I got my wife off the web and onto Outlook by setting up three emails addresses for her on it, including our shared email address for house stuff.

That seems to be his speed.

It was. Tiger cubs looked good. Really, really good. Bryce Rainer especially was outstanding.

One of the unfortunate memories I have of Ray Lane—not his fault, of course—was watching on TV when he announced to the crowd at a Pistons game that the new arena they were moving to in Auburn Hills from Pontiac was going to be named the Palace. The way he built up it all up during his introduction, and then his revealing the name being The Palace, brought a cascade of boos down from the stands. I didn’t like the name at first, either. It sounded cheesy to me. But I did feel bad in the moment for Ray that he was the guy getting booed for it.
