Fast forward to 10 years from now and Mr Parsons, my guess is the county *is* on the hook for that sum
Attorney Jim Parsons has been representing Mason County in negotiations with Meta. He told the fiscal court Oct. 13 the deal requires a 40-year, $800 billion bond initiative from the county. But, he said, the enormous number is misleading, and the county won't be on the hook for that sum. The bond deal is part of a lease-back arrangement in which the county would hold the deed to the project while Meta takes responsibility for costs and ownership.

One of my home leagues at the end of regulation lol
Two fantasy matches coming down to the wire.

One team down by 0.2 with Matt Stafford left.

Another matchup where a team started DJ Moore but also has James Cook. Down by 0.5.

Each time I go on Twitter I notice a further downward trend as it pertains to engagement. The replies and RT's are dwindling, and the substance of those two are lackluster at best. And these are people that are still posting regularly.

So this is what will determine Tucker Kraft's yardage if/when there's a stat correction: The play as it stands now is an *aborted play* where Jordan Love is credited with a fumble and Kraft has fumble recovery yards. **IF** it is determined Kraft was the intended target, he will get rushing yards.
Per the NFLGSIS site for statisticians:

If a teammate recovers behind the line of scrimmage, credit that player with a fumble
recovery and fumble yardage. Positive fumble yardage for this player begins at the line of
scrimmage. Negative yardage begins at the point of his recovery. Yardage gained up to the
line of scrimmage is used to reduce the negative fumble yardage of the player who fumbled.
EXCEPTION: If the player who recovers the fumble was the intended ball handler on a
lateral and advances beyond the statistical line of scrimmage, score the play as a rushing
play for the intended ball handler. A fumble is still charged to the player who threw the
lateral.

AP images must always be accurate. We do not alter or digitally manipulate the content of a photo or video except as stated below.

PHOTO
We avoid the use of generic photos or video that could be mistaken for imagery photographed for the specific story at hand, or that could unfairly link people in the images to illicit activity. No element should be digitally altered except as described below.

Minor adjustments to photos are acceptable. These include cropping, dodging and burning, conversion into grayscale, elimination of dust on camera sensors and scratches on scanned negatives or scanned prints and normal toning and color adjustments. These should be limited to those minimally necessary for clear and accurate reproduction and that restore the authentic nature of the photograph. Changes in density, contrast, color and saturation levels that substantially alter the original scene are not acceptable. Backgrounds should not be digitally blurred or eliminated by burning down or by aggressive toning. The removal of “red eye” from photographs is not permissible.

Employees with questions about the use of such methods or the AP’s requirements and limitations on photo editing should contact a senior photo editor prior to the transmission of any image.

Kirk: Look at the evidence, Molly. I'm unattractive, I'm out of shape, I'm uncoordinated, I've never been to Europe, I'm not a college graduate, I drive a Neon.
Molly: I like your Neon.
Kirk: Oh come on, Molly, look at me. I'm a 5. This is a 5. Hard 5. You can't jump more than two points. It's the Tao of Love. Everybody knows that. Even if you were a 9 and I was in a band. But no, you're a hard 10.
Molly: What are you talking about?
Kirk: Do you even know how hot you are? No, you probably think that everybody gets free shit everywhere they go and everybody's happy and nice to each other in shiny happy hot town with you and all your hot friends and ex boyfriends, but I hate to break it to you, it's not the same for the rest of us.
Molly: Okay, Kirk. You clearly have some major self-esteem issues.
Kirk: You lied about me to your parents right in front of me!
Molly: No I didn't!
Kirk: "Kirk's in aviation?" That's like saying the guy who shovels elephant shit at the circus is in show business. No, he's just the elephant shit guy. That's me. I'm that guy.

On 10/26/25 Meriwether farms tweeted, "To the unhinged leftists wishing that we go out of business for supporting Trump:

We regret to inform you that our sales are up 108% this week 🤣

Thank you to all the patriots who have been supporting us and to the new ones who have discovered us recently—all of our customers mean the world to us

And we won’t be backing down anytime soon in our fight to MAKE BEEF AMERICAN AGAIN! "

link to tweet: https://x.com/MeriwetherFarms/status/1982638625260245452On 8/21/26 Meriwether Farms tweeted "Betrayal" while quote posting Trump's message: 

“Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out-of-quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25% below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.”

Leopards eating faces^² in this situation because yeah he was a Trump voter...but also the hifalutin folks he's brushing up with in the United Club are most likely the ones that made the call to make sure that ICE would pick her up. But also do it outside the club. Don't wanna be inconvenienced.
After going through security at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Gannon said his fiancée was arrested by agents in plainclothes.

"After leaving the United room, eight officers, ICE agents swarmed Yasmin and detained her. (They) didn't tell us why and wrestled her off into a car," he recounted.
