Ryan Clark: speaks openly, honestly, and compassionately about mental health issues. Fired mid-shift by espn. Stephen a. smith: implies lance johnson is quitting on his team after announcing retirement to focus on mental health. Remains employed. All you really need to know about espn, really.

These 5pm street flooding alerts posted by the NWS at <checks phone clock> 7pm are pretty useful. If I time travel back to earlier this afternoon. And forget what happened already.

Moving read about Duncan Robinson and his relationship with his brother, Eli. Go check in on your people. Give them a hug if you can. And pause for moment if you get irritated or angry with someone. You don’t know what they’re carrying or going through. www.nytimes.com/athletic/761...

The Odyssey except it’s just a bunch of mediocre dudes telling each other how they totally would’ve got home way faster than Odysseus cuz they would’ve slayed the cyclops and giants and sirens so much easier.

Folks are understandably taking @mattyglesias.bsky.social to task for the 'HR training' focus, but I am struck by the inability here to recognize an educational failure. It is *your* (/our) job to explain to those voters that the collapse of democracy *will* have a greater impact on their lives.

Pitch your most pointless, dull prequel idea that could potentially be greenlit in this idea-starved world. Ted Lasso 0: It follows the year before leaving for AFC Richmond. We watch Ted spend all his time coaching while his wife runs the household growing lonelier and more disconnected.

Pitch your most pointless, dull prequel idea that could potentially be greenlit in this idea-starved world. Toy Story 0: The Hyatt brothers invent injection molding. A bunch of wooden dolls foresee their obsolescence and convince a kid to name a future toy Woody when he grows up to be a toy maker.
