Thank you Lane -- wish you all the best.

Philadelphia. You truly are the City of Brotherly Love. The best fans and the most prideful city in the entire world.
I have given it my all for 14 years; season after season pushing my body to the max and tirelessly working my craft to not only live up to the legacy of the guys that came before me, but to set a new standard of success for the best franchise in all of sports.
I deeply wanted to gut it out for one more year; to take the field with my brothers for one last season. But after a lot of reflection, I’ve realized that my personal and family priorities in my life have changed. Right now, it is critical that I focus on my mental health. I owe it to my teammates, coaches, the organization and the fans to have my head and heart 100 percent in the game. And right now my heart is telling me that it’s time to say goodbye to football.
At this time, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to retire from the National Football League.
Riding up Broad Street as a World Champion, not once, but twice, and seeing the city in all its glory was the ultimate privilege; I’ll never forget it.
Thank you to Jeffrey Lurie and the entire Eagles organization for taking a chance on a kid from small-town East Texas, and changing my life forever. And thank you to the many coaches and teammates I’ve had the honor of working with and playing alongside for the past 14 years; ya’ll have become lifelong friends and the brothers that I never had.
Right now, what’s most important to me is continuing to focus on my mental health and spending more time with my kids and family.
But Philadelphia will always be home, and I will forever be an Eagle.
Thank you for the love and the enduring support.

Great example of how AI semantic confusion leads to crappy AI tools. I'm in the market for a new Xbox controller and was confused this one was getting dinged for stick drift since it uses Hall effect thumbsticks, so clicked deeper. The last review shows how the bad info then propagates.

Screen grab of review for this controller show the AI was flagging mention of stick drift regardless of the context.

Same - despite all my years in California, still got my Philly roots. Still kinda wondering about this question 🤔

I am pretty sure everything Trump is building (ballroom, arch, warships, etc) is going to play out like this.

I am often reminded these days of lyrics from Jackson Browne's "Lives in the Balance" -- the whole song really nails our current situation. That it's 40 years old is kinda shows how long we've been on this path.

They sell us the President, the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing, from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars

🎯 commentary by Joe Russo (Avengers)

"And I think the part of the problem with culture today is everything's conflict-dri-ven, because social media is conflict-driven, because that's what's sticky, that's what keeps you on social media. If you're happy, you're not on social media, you are out living your life. You're not worried about what other people are doing, you're not worried about what your neighbor said,"

Very cool. One of the cooler things to happen to us is the nest a hummingbird build on a wind chime hanging of our balcony. She came back to it for 3 years until the nest was finally destroyed during a winter storm.

Exactly! The first chart is what economists, pols, etc point to, the second chart is what regular folks experience trying to get through the week. (src: www.bls.gov/charts/consu...

Probably because Americans are getting used to the idea they'll only be able to afford pictures of the things they want.

The only "good" think to come out of this is increased positive sentiment about immigration. Let's see if Dems can do something with that.

Chart from Chicago Council on Global Affairs showing an uptick in support for increasing legal immigration since 2024: Dems 40%, Ind 29%, Overall 28%, Republicans 13% (which is flat).

Republicans started playing a new game with Gingrich and Atwater and Dems have struggled to adapt--still living in that 40 year stretch. (source: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Co...

Apparently, the key to successfully building a "personal conglomerate" is to not be an asshole the 2/3 of the world despises for doing things like causing the death of 600K children. So Musk is a great choice as a cautionary tale. (You might be familiar with this headline)

These two posts ended up back-to-back in my feed. Congrats to @democrats.org for understanding the assignment. @klobuchar.senate.gov needs to get off the CSAM site and get new comms people.
