I never weigh in on gambling, because I recognize my extreme bias after having a family member steal an obscene amount of money from me in order to gamble. But the sports betters threatening players is disgusting. It’s bad enough in the NFL but they’re doing this to college players too. Teenagers.
Sports betting and fantasy football have become a ubiquitous part of the NFL.
A majority of the respondents to our anonymous player have had fans reach out or confront them about lost wagers and fantasy-league defeats.

A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:
“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Thing no one warns you about in perimenopause number 8,876,425: Frozen Shoulder. I’ve been in agony and unable to sleep on my right side for nearly two months now only to learn 1) yes, that’s a thing and 2) no worries, it will go away on its own IN A YEAR OR SO. 😩

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

So excited for you and this journey! I discovered I had 2C hair during Covid that I had just been inadvertently straightening my entire life. 6yrs later I’m still trying new things and learning to tame it, but it’s been so worth it.

In Trying to Have a Vacation Despite the Horrors news, I am watching Private Eyes, starring Tim Conway and Don Knotts circa 1980. Absolutely hilarious movie we watched often when I was a kid.
