Excellent single but probably Prince’s best during a period where he was putting out hit after hit.
Prince released the title track from 'Sign O' the Times' as the album's lead single 39 years ago on February 18, 1987 | Watch the official video, listen to the album + revisit our tribute here: album.ink/PrinceSOTT

Isaiah Stewart understands that playing for Detroit means having a chip on your shoulder when needed. Sheed and Laimbeer are smiling.

I remember Walker torching Michigan when he was at Michigan State. Not surprised he’s that good.
Man, Walker's just an awesome back. Patience, vision, burst--the total package, with such a unique style. Dude has earned every bit of the paycheck coming his way this summer.

The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

This is the kind of music my French-Canadian grandfather loved. The old school Latin jazz music. Not bad.

One of these days, people will look back on these sports betting ads like we do on the ads for patent medicines featuring cocaine.

A friend and I who worked at the school newspaper together both switched into different careers. We loved journalism, but we saw the writing on the wall.
A shame really because one of the best jobs I had was at a media company in Detroit proper. Good people and good work.

Do not love how this industry has been shredded and remade into a teetering heap of gig work
Freelancers fighting each other for a dwindling number of scraps, generational talent falling out of the ecosystem entirely, former staffers struggling while billionaires stuff their pockets
A fucking mess

If you grew up in Lake Orion or Oxford, especially in the 80s and 90s, you went to his donut shop either on weekends or before school. He was a gent.
Oh, man. After he retired, Tigers great Mickey Lolich started a donut shop that was in walking distance from my house. (I know this because when I was three, I ran away from home, and my parents found me around the block headed to that donut shop.) My first solid food was a Mickey Lolich donut hole.

I think about the guy who complained about how feeding two teenage boys was expensive and then it turns out he's DoorDashing Outback SteakHouse. Talking surf and turf and the works. And he's complaining about inflation.
Ma'am you are spending 1/3 of your post-tax income on doordash

Looking back on my eating habits while distance running from middle school through high school, I'm amazed things did not get disastrous given that I ate enough food to feed a small city.
80% of distance running is trying to figure out a fueling strategy that will not result in disaster of any kind

One of the kids of old hippies I know was heavily antivax while their parents were old enough to remember polio. Parents had no issue getting vaccinated. Meanwhile, their kid was being openly antivax. Always found it odd and disturbing.
Own the libs? No, sir.

There is a child across the street who was out shoveling snow & I was kind of impressed, until I realized she was dumping the snow from her sidewalk *onto the house's front porch and stairs* to construct a massive sled run from the front door. Now I am like "get that kid an engineering scholarship"

The Democratic voter who needs to be excited, rather than disciplined and focused, is why Trump has twice come into office with full control of the WH and Congress.
Yes, heaven forbid that the Democratic Party ever again nominate a candidate that Democratic voters are actually excited about. We learned our lesson in 1972, right? The party, its consultants and wealthiest donors must decide and the voters will just have to suck it up.

Jake Tapper and that Tottenham Hotspurs fan Astead Herndon are oddly silent about old age right now.
Trump is really slurring his speech alot today.
He just mentioned California wouldn't allow the water to come down from the Pacific Northwest and diverted the water into the "Pacifish Oshinn"

Detroit-ish but Bill Knapps. It was a family restaurant that you went to if you wanted to go out and just wanted to relax. Loved it because of the memories I had with my mom and grandmother but they had amazing cakes. I usually got a burger there.

please tell me about your favorite lost restaurant (closed for at least 5 years, like I really want you to go back into the vault), why you loved it and what you ate there
