“By any measure, I loved my mom more than our dog. If I could bring one back, I’d pick her 100 times out of 100. So why, in the moment of their passing, did I cry for him but not for her?” Tommy Tomlinson wrote in 2024: theatln.tc/FGjG1bxH 📸: Gregory Halpern / Magnum

Being a Saints fan has to be an amazing experience because in the worst times of your life the team was a comfort and an amazing best friend and then when things got better they immediately went back to stealing money out of your purse

As an appetizer for tonight's game, here's my story from a few years back on the best rivalry in the NFL--featuring Morten Andersen, the Steve Gleason punt block, and the Rebirth Brass Band's "Talk That Shit Now." www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Falcons-Saints rivalry runs deep
Since the two teams entered the NFL in the '60s, the Falcons and Saints -- and even more, their fans -- have fought one of the most underrated rivalries in sports.

It’s only the 118th biggest jawdropper of the last 10 years, but it is amazing that the party of Reagan (baseball announcer), Ford (Michigan center) and Nixon (football obsessive) no longer knows ball. They’re down to Ted “Automatic L” Cruz and this guy

MY LATEST: Today @theguardian.com published our investigation of 7-Eleven and Circle K. Both chains routinely overcharge customers for food, toiletries, tobacco, and medicine, and yet elude government scrutiny. With @jocelynzuck.bsky.social, @byardduncan.bsky.social, @sophiemsullivan.bsky.social

The Charlotte Mecklenburg school board is having a bit of costly drama. It has staggered elections. Three elected board members won't face voters until 2027. Six others, 2029. #ncpol

As a parent of students who used to attend CMS schools, I noticed something. You DO NOT want the superintendent job. With the exception of Ann Clark, it’s been FORTY YEARS since the superintendent left voluntarily. You can draw your own conclusions.
