I don't like hydration breaks in soccer/football, but I absolutely think they're necessary to protect players/referees. It's going to be hot as fuck for some of the games.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Running is dumb and I don't know why I do it.
I'm currently nervous about an ugly sweater fun run 5k starting in 28 min. 3 miles normally not a problem for me but the last few times I've run I had to stop because of horrendous shin pain. Haven't run since Monday so I'm just hoping it's fine today.

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver.
If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

Committing atrocities is a loyalty test and binds you together with others who have done the same, severing other bonds of care and loyalty.
The atrocity literature highlights this over and over.

I don't know if anyone here has watched "The Ballad of Wallis Island" but it is delightful! I'd highly recommend it. I thought I'd posted about it a month or so ago, but I don't think I did and I watched a Tim Key interview yesterday which reminded me.

If you have to do interviews like that with SUV owners than you really should also ask them: statistically, you are much more likely to kill someone else, particularly a child, through your choice of vehicle. Do you believe this is a morally acceptable choice to make?

If I'm hearing correctly, the Department of Transportation is saying that gas mileage is not a thing consumers care about, and boy, I don't know...it kind of seems like they're wrong.

My President told me Jim Comey keeps eating his prosecutors so I asked how many prosecutors he has and he said he just goes to Mar-A-Lago and gets a new prosecutor afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding prosecutors to Jim Comey and then his Attorney General started crying.
The Justice Department could present a new indictment against James Comey to a grand jury as soon as this week.

No matter what, prosecutors will likely present new indictments against the former FBI director and New York Attorney General Letitia James to grand juries in the Eastern District of Virginia.
