Realistically, the Pats will win out and take the East. Makes winning this game less crucial. If that tradeoff means guys like Poyer, Jones, and Kincaid can get healthy(ier) for the playoffs, I’ll take it.

Christmas 2025 - temperature anomalies across the contiguous United States 🔥

Map from www.karstenhaustein.com/climate
Map of the lower 48 showing temperature anomalies at 2-m in °C for 25 December 2025 from the 18z GFS run. Temperatures are warmer than average for all states here. It is colder than average though in parts of Canada, especially western areas.

I hope the good people of KY remember that policies from a single party control of the House, Senate, and Presidency are solely responsible for this collapse of international sales. And as our soybean farmers are learning, once you lose those customers they ain’t coming back so fast

Agreed. I feel like you could live with pass catchers that can’t get downfield, if they can at least make completions to move the chains. This group hasn’t proven good at either.

Sounds a lot like Cassidy after receiving his promise from RFK jr that they would respect the science around vaccines, “Now, Mr. Kennedy and the administration reached out seeking to reassure me regarding their commitment to protecting the public health benefit of vaccination.”

@agetzenberg.bsky.social if Prater went on IR would his 4th game roll into the playoffs? Or would it reset at the end of the regular season?

A very cool reminder of how megafauna literally reshaped the landscape and the ecology around it. Although I can’t imagine much scarier than investigating a tunnel and having a 4 ton megatherium come barreling out

But not corporations! They will happily pile up their support under the calculus that depravity and cruelty is an acceptable trade off for tax benefits and fewer regulations. After all the most important concern is next quarters earnings

My biggest takeaway from this game is that not giving Allen legitimate receivers is an absolute travesty. This receiving core is an embarrassment. And I can’t imagine where this team would be without James Cook.

The ‘lounge’ on our floor contains trash bags, cleaning supplies, and a vacuum, which we can freely take from after office custodial services were eliminated to save money. I learned the hard way to not forget taking out your trash before a long weekend

Jfc. Senator John Hoffman reports ICE took the owners of crumbs and coffee in BP this morning and left the building unlocked with money on the counter.
This morning I went to have breakfast at Crumbs and Coffee in Brooklyn Park. Instead, I walked into a dark café with the door standing open. Money sat on the counter. Coats were still draped over booths. I called the police to secure the building. I then spoke with Mayor Winston, who confirmed that ICE had just conducted a raid. The two owners of Crumbs and Coffee were taken. Customers had been told to leave moments earlier, warned of a supposed emergency. These are small business owners. Taxpayers. People who invested in our community, created jobs, and served their neighbors every day. Since when are they considered the “worst of the worst”? This isn’t right. And it’s not who we should be targeting if we care about safe, strong communities.

BIG conservation news out of Uganda. Echuya Forest is being upgraded to a national park, and that’s HUGE for the African golden cat - a rainforest predator so elusive that researchers once needed 90 days of camera traps to find just ONE!
