To me the funniest thing in the NFL right now is that the Steelers (4-1) are finally favored over the Ravens (1-5) to win the AFC North, but the margin is so small that it's basically like they're 1.5-point favorites in a head-to-head
The AFC is a mess this season lol. Colts and Steelers duking it out for the 1 seed lmao

Outside of writing marketing collateral for my own work, it's probably been about 15 years since I did any consulting work for anyone else. I'm not opposed to doing it, but clients would have to work around my schedule (which they - reasonably - don't like to do), and my consulting fee is... high.
Wondering, when was the last time someone hired you to write something “non”-creative (of your own work, not sure how you would count being an editor for someone else as you’re participating in someone’s creative process and collaborating)

We talked to administration officials for this piece who straight up say as much: that a reason they’ve gone so hard at this case is the belief that if they back down too much or lose too much on Abrego Garcia, it risks a “domino effect” that could make it harder for them to do not just Alien…
It is not really exaggeration to say that because of how the Trump administration is going about this and related policy, that the fate of the nation and its democratic health Does Indeed come down to the fate of just one guy: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

🚨BREAKING: The latest version of the Republican reconciliation bill does not include provision that would have required those suing the Trump administration to post a huge bond if they won an injunction.
A BIG VICTORY for Senate Democrats, democracy and the rule of law.
