I recommend Best Ball as safer sports gambling option. I spend 45 minutes drafting a $5 team that I follow for over 4 months. Best Ball becoming a financial problem would be like going to the movies becoming a financial problem. It’s possible, but I’d really have to work at it.

I prefer apple pie to pumpkin pie most of the time.

Yup. I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally sought out a pumpkin-flavored anything beyond pie. I like pumpkin pie occasionally. That’s pretty much it for me.

Someone in my orbit was making a parenting choice that seemed pretty debatable recently, and I was relieved to realize that absolutely no one was asking for my opinion about it.

Whether it’s Obama saying “yes we can” or Donald Trump say “we’re gonna shove it up their ass” both presidents adopted divisive slogans.

I’ve decided that one of the Lords in my new DnD campaign is going to be a man about my age with two Chaotic daughters. I’m not sure how I’ll get into his character. 😀

This is really good framing. I’m a capitalist at heart. I want a system that rewards hard work, innovation, and building things that make a better world for all of us. We’ve built a parody of that though. We don’t need trillionaires who got that way by making things worse for everyone else.

What is scary is how thin the margin is between sane leadership and Republican cesspool. 3% more crazies in the rural areas would shift the balance and screw Minnesota.

This is outstanding advice, as always from thetimothysnyder: “It's really just a matter of doing something, which is a bit more than nothing. If we do, I tend to think we'll get through this.” All of us, make a difference. Never doubt that what you do is important! #momsky #sheshed

It’s 1970 and ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays “Tiny Dancer” for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN and Taupin’s wife Maxine (for whom Taupin wrote the song).

How many reservations are other people making? Unless it’s a big group, most of the time we just show up and get seated. I can probably manage to make the call myself for the 2-3 events a year I’m responsible for that need a restaurant reservation. AI is a solution in search of a problem.

The ridiculous thing is that they‘ve had the “optimize lineup” button on a lot of websites for many years. They’re talking about using AI to do something that is already being done. AI always seems to be a solution in search of a problem.

Even if they had drugs, it’s still murder. Drug running is a crime, not a military action. Our military is acting as judge, jury, and executioner against civilians. The people authorizing these attacks need to die in prison.

I wonder what drew Greta Gerwig to “The Magician’s Nephew“ specifically? It’s been over 40 years since I read it, but I don’t remember it standing out as a highlight of the series.

Love when the principled originalist rules based on the "apparent outcome" of an election, which is entirely an artifact of modern polling and media. One might be tempted to conclude he's a right-wing nutjob who decides cases based solely on partisan gain and bad vibes from being too online.

Yes, the price of gasoline is rising on a daily basis. But the prices of $TRUMP and $MELANIA cryptocurrencies are down 97% from their peaks. Inflation is a matter of perspective.
