Are we really, *really* sure Republicans are best with the economy? And before y'all come after me that the Pillsbury brand costs $6, read the ingredient labels side-by-side to see if you can solve the mystery of which one is actual food versus whatever TF that Doughboy is serving.

Over the weekend, I spent a fair amount of time explaining to my brother-in-law why Jill Stein is a deeply unserious person. She is nothing more than a contrarian political cicada, waking only in election season in the hopes of destroying everyone else around her. And now:
Dana Houle posting a screengrab of Jill Stein's tweet, which reads: "If you had high hopes for Democratic Party reform, you may want to reset your expectations. PS. Stop drinking the cool aid." Dana points out the use and spelling of "cool aid." Cicada Stein likely meant Kool-aid.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

I thought this was fake, but no, Ed Sheeran really is THAT desperate for an opening act.

Not to flex, but I've always known Ed Sheeran was a s**t-weasel. Y'all act like you don't remember him unabashedly accepting the Grammy for "Shape of You" (ode to objectifying a woman's body) over Kesha's "Praying" (masterpiece in courageously using your music for something important).

Reading the praise of Mahomes recovering from torn knee ligaments, but feel like this quote perhaps adds important context. To compare, Mahomes got the MRI within an hour, surgery the very next day. Our healthcare is capable of being great. We just...don't.
"For [most people], it's 10 days for an MRI, it's another doctor's visit and then another week to schedule surgery and so on," said Borgmann, describing general practices involving a torn ACL. "But we're not professional football players. I stand on this: NFL players of today have the best medical care in the world due to our healthcare system and our availability of imaging.

"We have more doctors associated with NFL teams than any other professional sport in the United States. It is the best medical care you can find in the world."
