Appropriate Facebook memory for the day apple again invents something that isn't new

My 8 yr old's soccer coach is going to cut practice short tonight because of the heat, which is great and well-intentioned, except my 10 yr old's practice isn't getting cut short, which means instead of watching both kids practice, I'll end up melting playing soccer with the 8 yr old in this heat.

It's probably cheating, but showing my kids Immaculate Grid and sending them to find answers in their baseball cards is a fantastic way to keep them occupied for an hour and teach them a lot about random baseball players.

Working on a college campus, but not teaching students, I kind of lose track of when classes are starting, right up until there's suddenly no parking anywhere.

Lansing is at its best when everyone feels at home. At Lansing Common, we believe a strong community is one where every neighbor is valued and supported. We want to be clear about where we stand: our immigrant and refugee neighbors are an essential part of the Lansing community.

Some might say it's incredible the Tigers just won 2/3 against one of the best teams in baseball. I'd say it's perfectly predictable that the Padres just lost 2/3 to one of the best teams in baseball.

Hi, I'm the guy who wrote the book "Administrative Burdens" and it's just objectively untrue that no one will face "unnecessary burdens" b/c *non-citizens almost never vote! *About 20M citizens don't have access to citizenship documents SAVE solves a non-problem by burdening American citizens.

If nothing else this game is an advertisement for quarters. Putting a team in the bonus for 15 minutes is some extreme punishment.
