The degree to which police departments have financial incentives to over-respond to situations where their presence is straight up not needed at ALL, because they can make a bunch of extra money for zero personal risk, is something that even the pro-cop brigade should be concerned about.

If UTEP holds on they'll have a transitive win over an Oklahoma team that beat them 51-0 two weeks ago. If you gamble on this sport that's between you and your God

oh yeah lol i remember this guy. poncho munch for deano bonano. that phrase we’ve all heard before

POLICE CHIEF
PONCHO MUNCH
- FOR -
DEANO BONANO
I'M WITH
BONANO
During Hurricanes Ike, Gustav and Katrina there was one constant. Deano Bonano was there for Westwego residents every time. As Director of Emergency Management and the head of Jefferson's Homeland Security, Deano instinctively knew the needs of our city.
That's because in his 30+ years of experience in Jefferson Parish government, where he led many critical divisions, Deano not only realized how a parish could help a city in need, but he also knew exactly who at the parish-level could help us most. It was during our darkest days in Westwego that Deano Bonano was our brightest guardian.
I'm supporting Deano for Council because I know how much he can and will help Westwego in every way. I'm asking you to please consider supporting Deano as well!
It's important to Westwego!

I was a 30 year old high school teacher on 9/11. Please miss me forever on talk about how it "united" us. I spent the year fighting with casually islamophic coworkers (teachers!) and principals who were staging classroom "anthrax drills." It brought out the worst in the worst people.

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

That CNN "Dolly Parton remained neutral in the culture wars" thing is the most hilariously wrong framing of a person's stances since people were talking about Muhammed Ali being "above politics" or whatever when he died. It's pathological.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.

It’s so funny (and even more telling) that the owners of professional sports teams acknowledge that there’s a problem with having an enormous wealth gap, but it only matters to them when it’s the difference between different magnitudes of billionaire.

this is a problem. solidarity and mass movements often involve making common cause with all sorts of douchebags. but it's also the fact that these guys are just temporarily homeless republican operatives. giving them money and eyeballs is probably counterproductive

Yet another Kalshi offering that serves no legitimate economic purpose. It's not possible to make a rational bet on this without material non-public information. It's a market solely for fraud by both regulators and corporate insiders, and everyone connected to it in any way should go to prison.

Kalshi Inc. is expanding in biotechnology by offering wagers on the outcomes of clinical trials and regulatory decisions, giving traders a more direct way to bet on key industry catalysts.
