Godspeed, Cam. You were asked to follow a future Hall of Fame center and Eagles legend, and you not only embraced the challenge but also made your own mark. Thank you for the memories you created for Eagles fans, and good luck on the next chapter of your career

In any event, getting back a 2nd rounder for Jurgens is excellent value.

Meanwhile, over on X, the Secretary of Homeland Security is posting about "vandalizing the demographics of America," a phrase which is either a chilling suggestion of white nationalism from Mullin or just straight pablum which means nothing but sounds just fash enough to excite the faithful.

“Vandalize the demographics of America” is either a chilling phrase suggesting that Mullin is a white nationalist or an absurdly meaningless bit of pablum which ignores 250 years of the constantly shifting demographics of a nation of immigrants.

Underneath is a picture of Mullin with a quote "How do you turn a country from democracy to socialism? You have to change the demographics."

white evangelical Republicans whose experience of Catholicism is limited to people like JD Vance assumed that their allies on abortion would be their allies on everything and miscalculated so badly here. even the most conservative US bishops cannot function without their immigrant parishioners!

The irony of course is that Originalism’s big selling point was supposed to be constraining the discretion or judges to impose their own political preferences as law. In practice the effect has been very much the reverse: Liberating justices from the constraints of stare decisis.

Love to take state ownership in companies and throw no bid contracts to my pals while warning everyone that the democrats are communists. It continues to blow my mind that people can’t put this together.

I mean, if you've decided to move Jurgens, this is a good return for him. But it's not the sort of move you expect to see a team make if they think they can still contend in the present season.

More and more, we’ve been taking advantage of the LET() function when writing our #ExcelFormulas. The Letify Monkey will convert an existing formula with just a few clicks, though you can also define the auto-generated variable names and configure various options. 🐒Learn more: mkyt.ca/letify

We find using the LET() function makes our formulas easier to read, faster to calculate, and much easier to debug. Instead of trying to figure out how to incorporate LET into an existing formula, the Letify Monkey will convert it for you!
(Screenshot of the Letify Monkey dialog, where it displays both the original formula and the new "letified" formula, and allows you to define the variables.)

Trump admin's new rule adding prohibitively expensive new fees for "OPT"—temporary work authorization program for international students and new grads in the United States—is out. Would require colleges to pay $70,000 for year one. $30,000 for years two and three combined for STEM fields.
