The ‘bel’ in ‘decibel’ is for Alexander Graham Bell.
Since the ‘B’ in 'dB' is a name-derived unit, it is capitalized when abbreviated.

The tactic of demonizing empathy was for moments like this.
When people have no empathy for others and are loyal to power above all else, they will believe whatever those in power say, no matter how false, and even distrust their own eyes when they see others being harmed.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."
‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”
So a napkin is a little tablecloth.

I understand he's a bully, that many of his followers are doxxers, that you're on Air Force One. But in 2016 I wanted Clinton to turn around at the debate and say "Stop lurking behind me, you fucking creep" and the first journo to say "What the fuck did you call me?" will be a hero forever
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

This, by @heidikstevens.bsky.social, is a gut punch
“We’re waiting to see what we stand for. Stand for meaning what defines us, and stand for meaning what we’ll allow. What we cherish, what we’re willing to concede.
Who we’ll protect from abuse of power, and whose abuse of power we’ll protect.”

This is why I often scoff at the names tied to the Cubs in FA. Because I've yet to see them consistently compete financially to land those players.

I'll definitely check out the full pod, but this clip noted the thing I both loved and loathed w/Williams last year. When he made the right decision, it looked good. But too often, he looked for the big play instead of taking what was there. Hopefully real coaching can fix that now.

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.
8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.
And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Part of me wants to be irritated because everyone kept saying the Cubs would move early and be super aggressive. The rational part of me knows they can only make moves of there's a partner.
Ultimately, I just end up pissed they're not super aggressive in the winter. Makes this part a little easier.
