Bay Area sports fans...if you aren't paying attention to what's happening with the Golden State Valkyries, you are missing out. Seriously, do yourself a favor, make it so you don't have to lie 5 years from now when people ask if you were watching when it all started! Watch these games!

So do we root for the Brewers because they are a small market team facing the same hurdles we are, and their success is proof it's Bob's fault, or the Padres because Yelich and ick division rival?

I wish both the Pads and Brewers could get through and both the Dodgers and Braves go home

imagine if the mainstream media covered Republicans' number one donor — the biggest political donor in US history! — and his controversial views with as much scrutiny as they covered Hasan Piker's

In those communities, saying you are a Democrat or worse, a liberal, will literally get you kicked out of your friend groups and church. Your friends will say you've "fallen away" or "backslid" and they won't associate with you for fear of catching it. If you have to call yourself a centrist, ok

It's incredible to me that because he says outlandish things all the time, somehow the press thinks it's not newsworthy when he does. Every media outlet should be leading with this every day

Joke will be on them when they realize that they can't pay the rent on one salary. Of course, it will be too late and a lot of people will have needlessly suffered. And they will still blame it on Biden

I blame AP classes for this. The honors classes my kids took were much better than the AP classes, because they weren't teaching to a test

I grew up PCUSA, then spent many years at a UMC. The most striking difference was that my PCUSA church almost never talked about Calvin, and certainly didn't trace theology to him in Sunday School. The Methodists can't STOP talking about John "Strangely Warm" Wesley

Most acquisition is ego on the part of the C-suite. Also it is generally perceived well on their resume. They are doing what is best for the individual and rationalizing it for the company

When I was in grad school, I went through one paper (Gregory and Loredo) probably hundreds of times over 3 or 4 years. It was only by working my problems, then going back and forth to the paper, that I finally deeply understood it. You can't do that for every paper, but you should do it for a few

The thing that might be new starting with the Radical Republicans was a strong political contingent that wasn't (completely) white supremacist. So in that sense, the rise of the "woke left" made clear that other white people were white supremacists. Which, okay good.
