He’s already thinking faster than most of his teammates in terms of looking for the fast counter or the quick combination. You can see other players catching up mentally on the field.

there might be feelings better than having your kid snuggle up asleep on you but there is no feeling like it. I am a simple ape and probably you are too

I am 100% in favor of people who don't want kids not having kids, but watching your kids play on the beach on a day where all your responsibilities are asleep is a peak human experience of a type you will struggle to get elsewhere.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

An example of how media props up fascists. "Failed to stop"; is not true, of course. GOP policies *actively caused* inflation. But the wording still implies Republicans are good faith actors who want to help Americans. That is the bigger lie, and the one they desperately want us to buy.

The Associated Press@apnews.com

Trump promise to bring down costs, but inflation is still outpacing paychecks. With the midterms a week away, Democrats are trying to tap into voters’ frustration in the midterms.

Not every occurance in a sports event should be a "lets check the tape in ultra slow motion" opportunity for litigation. Sometimes just have an experienced, knowledgable guy who was watching it make a determination.

My question is: Why were 5 cops rushing at a car with guns drawn over *allegations* of stolen diapers to begin with?

The saddest “do you denounce” going unasked is “do you denounce seditionists convicted beyond a reasonable doubt of violently attacking America?” For nearly every Republican, not only is the answer no, but their revealed preference is that the Jan. 6 attackers should be pardoned, even celebrated.

it’s cool that technology has figured out a non-verbal way to have a verbal medium communicate that it hates me and I do believe it more viscerally than I would if the publishers of my favorite publications just published the statement, “we hate you for reading our words go watch a video” 10/10

I love trying to read an article longer than 250 words on a browser on my phone the constant reloading adds a lovely frisson of danger to the reading experience also it loses my place every time it reloads which is both interactive and disorienting best of all is when the ad tech kills the page dead
