Shrinking depicts a ton of unethical therapist behavior, but it's also almost as healing and comforting as the first couple seasons of Ted Lasso.

The kicker is you can tell it would never even dawn on this Republican senator or his staff that a man might want to go to a women’s sporting event. But protect women’s sports or something!

"It's not about saving money" is an odd thing to say at a meeting about budget cuts.

If a commentator feels the need to qualify their opinion with, "It's beautiful hair, but ....", they should probably not make said comment. A lot of players on that pitch had long hair. Accidental pulls can happen but - three times to one player? No. Yet Jordynn owned that pitch.

I paid $8 for 4 peaches and $60 for a tank (13 gal) of unleaded today. $70 on fruit and fuel. This is fucking insane. But yes, if I didn't spend $70, I would save $70, thank you.

Dropping this again before I resell on the app. Check out Irish band Chasing Abbey, playing the Turf Club on Oct 6. If these guys had been invited to play with Ed, they would have said no.

Sources: Higuain at center of refs' union beef with MLS NEXT Pro
The union that represents MLS and USL referees launched a scathing critique of MLS NEXT Pro over its handling of an incident in which a coach committed what it described as "two deliberate acts of physical abuse and sexism towards a female official."

Minnesota United hosts LA Galaxy tonight in St. Paul. With both clubs below the playoff line, three points for either side would be huge.

25 years ago today, I had surgery to decompress my Chiari Malformation Type 1, diagnosed after 3 years of intense headaches and the sensation of pressure on the back of my head. I lucked out having a pediatrician who socialized at every convention he could, becoming friends with a pediatric neuro.

One of the [many] weird things about CRPS is that it will make you overthink every bit of clothing. Rough outseam stitching? Pain. Socks too low? Excess swelling - Pain. Socks to cushion-y? Great until you swell - Pain. Secure and supportive shoes? Perhaps too much security - Pain.

At this time, 25 years ago, I was at Minneapolis Children's with my mom for a pre-surgery tour. I had spent plenty of time in hospitals before 9/11 and plenty more after, but I remember that night clearly. Silent. Waiting rooms, lounges, hallways. Silent. People of all backgrounds. Silent.

CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) is weird. One day, you're getting back in the swing of lunch break PT at the gym. The next you're feeling good until you trip on your cat and half of your leg shuts down. This is the main reason I still use a crutch - Function is unpredictable.

Yikes! Resident says the suspected shooter told him he was going to shoot his ex-girlfriend and the property managers. He reported it. He had previously shown him his gun and concealed carry permit.
Resident: Suspect made earlier threats
Shoreline Plaza resident Chris Miller said he knew the suspected shooter and alleges that the man told Miller on Sunday or Monday night that he was going to shoot his ex-girlfriend and the two building property managers. 

“He said, ‘I’m going to shoot people,’” Miller said in an interview. 

Miller said he met the suspect when Miller moved into the building a couple of months ago and that on a couple of occasions he showed Miller his handgun and his concealed gun carry permit. He said the man had been living alone and had at least a couple of kids who did not live with him.

Miller alleges he heard the threat in conversation in front of the complex and that he emailed building management warning them of the remarks. Miller said the suspect was allegedly going through an eviction and had been mad about the breakup.

“He was very, very angry, drunk and mad,” said Miller, who declined to provide the man’s name or age. “I'm not going to disclose that right now,” he said.
