iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’m not 100% yet, but I’m getting damn close. Being even better than I was a year ago is no longer a far-off dream, but hopefully a near-term reality.

It’s been a long, painful road back to health, but all the rehab and hard work has led to the successful run from this morning you see in this picture. I am incredibly thankful for my progress, and for all the love and support I received to make this recovery happen.

Exactly one year ago today, I went to the hospital after waking up at 2am with numbness in my hands and feet. That numbness turned out to be the first symptom of an awful autoimmune disorder known as Guillain-Barré syndrome. About a week later, my body was almost completely paralyzed.

I had to give his "We've heard this before in your first term" response a positive double take.

The single biggest mistake of the Cohen Era was the Baez/Crow-Armstrong trade. Number 2 was not making a very serious, winning effort to sign Freddie Freeman when he was a free agent.

It also doesn’t mean that the ship in question didn’t pay out the ass in insurance premiums which get baked into the cost of their cargo.

And what about the vast majority of the time when you get an incompetent or malevolent one?

I must have just imagined Trump’s ugly glowering face yesterday when I saw these during the Jets game.

And what do you do once Trump inevitably violates those new ethics laws?

Yeah. A dependable permanent minority party.

Secretary of (Losing) Wars Hegseth rejects meritocracy. He doesn't want a military or service academies filled w/ the best people (no matter what color, gender, orientation, etc.), he wants a military that looks and thinks just like him. It's a recipe for incompetence, a topic on which he's expert.

This many teams making the playoffs will make more sense once the league expands to 32 teams.

Season 2 of True Detective is far and away the worst thing I have ever watched to completion.

Trump said he was "working on a deal" to purchase Belarusian potash fertilizer. Belarusian president says there is no potash for Trump to buy www.politico.eu/article/bela...

Lukashenko says Belarus doesn’t have enough potash for Trump

“Even if we wanted to supply [potash] to other, Western markets, we simply do not have those volumes,” said the Belarusian president.

Young can't hit lefties. The Mets would not go into a season with him as the expected everyday 1B. He'd be the strong-side platoon there at most.

I swear the only thing that practically eliminating any sort of real NFL preseason has done is move a bunch of hamstring injuries from mid/late August to week 1.

Pete could also have accepted the 7-year extension for $158 that he was offered in 2023, but for some reason, he's supposed to get a pass on that, and we're all supposed to believe he desperately wanted to be a lifelong Met only to be stymied by the evil Stearns who didn't want him at all.

The Mets were talking to Pete and his reps, which means they absolutely made offers. They just never bothered to make a formal offer after Baltimore blew the market away. Offering Pete $110 for 4 years when he has a formal offer of $155 for 5 years would be considered insulting.

Yes. It would be crazy not to.

I agree with this, but would love to see some reciprocation from Crockett instead of every media appearance she makes sparking this whole debate again.

Being a black woman doesn't give her a pass to be a sore loser after losing a primary and trying to paint not acting like that as acting like a white man is pretty offensive.

These arguments are horseshit. If she had won this and Talarico was pulling what she is now, what do you think the reaction would justifiably be?

Just because she’s not obligated to, doesn’t mean that’s the right choice.

Let's not go overboard. The Mets offered him a completely reasonable 7-year deal in 2023, and he declined it.

Trump went to war because sanctions could not work. Now he’s imposing sanctions because war could not work.

The median midterm voter has become extremely Dem-leaning since Trump first got elected. How the Democrats didn't get blistered in 2022 is incredibly strong evidence of this. If anything, the polling and experts are likely underrating the chances and size of the coming wave.
