Jay's alma mater lost on Saturday because a senior DB got emotional and committed a dumb personal foul in the last 30 seconds to give Iowa a chance.
3. Jay Feely: “Girls are so emotional that to go out and play their best, they have to be right emotionally. You know, whereas guys, like, we can fight in the locker room… it doesn’t matter.”
RS with your home river. Beautiful and tranquil Braes Bayou located in sw Houston. These pictures are all taken where I grew up in the meyerland neighborhood. 1st pic is tropical storm Allison; the next three are from no name storms that occurred in a 4 year window; last is Hurricane Harvey.
After months of trying and a few close calls I finally aced this silly game. www.maptap.gg August 24 100🎯 100🎯 100🎯 100🎯 100🎯 Final score: 1000
🤔 www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/... His comments actually are defensible but Fed Funds expecting path nor its actions in:re its b/s (gulp) is not very high up on why I've been bearish on long duration bonds
Seriously @washingtonpost.com publishing him? Spare me the nonsense about viewpoint diversity, sunlight is the best disinfectant, etc…I don’t object to that principle. But it’s not absolute. It’s one thing to publish someone without in any way endorsing them or their message as a public service
www.maptap.gg August 13 98🔥 99🎯 100🎯 100🎯 100🎯 Final score: 997 Lol new personal best & it’s on a day I missed acing the two easiest ones - including a city I’ve visited on numerous occasions & where a large number of my family lives! It helps two were in Mx. Bangui was a lucky guess.

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.
So many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this. "Monsanto Maler was one of several Haitian immigrants who traveled from Springfield for a check in...after an ankle monitor was attached to him, Maler was seen collapsing to the ground and crying." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/hundre...
It is by no means the most troubling thing about 😡’s attempts to sack Gov Cook…but going after the FOMC member who gives the most weight to its labor mandate when it is in tension w/ its inflation mandate is a pretty big own goal in furtherance of 😡’s wish to lower rates or at least hold off hikes.

This would be very amusing if it weren’t for the higher tax bills from higher interest costs bc there weren’t any surprises or news. The rate decision was expected (even w/ 3 dissents) & the presser was just 45 min of obfuscation w/ some word salad thrown in. This shouldn’t have been a result.
This was indeed unprecedented: 30-year Treasury yields have never been up this much on a Fed decision while two-year yields fell this much, based on data going back to August 1987.
This is probably as close as I'll get to a perfect score. It helps having rounds 3, 4, & 5 located in SA & round 2 near where I had just traveled. www.maptap.gg July 28 100🎯 99🎯 98🔥 100🎯 99🎯 Final score: 992
If the ‘Public’s Guess’ is taken from survey(s) with identical questions & assuming Catholicism, Atheism, Judaism, & Islam are mutually exclusive w/ say Protestantism… than the participants in aggregate believe that there are < 0 Protestants in the entire country. A negative number of Protestants.
This actually explains something about how people talk about the Jewish community.
Bret’s entire rant is spot-on but this really is the crux of it.
The second strategic failure is that the American people (re)elected a worthless fucking moron like Donald Trump, who is boundlessly confident despite knowing nothing about anything and so asked the US military to do the impossible for no reason at all because he got lucky in Venezuela.

Both the President of the United States & the Secretary of Defense - the two people in command of the most dangerous arsenal in the history of mankind - subscribe to a worldview & possess an attitude virtually indistinguishable from the immature 5 year old that is starting fights on the playground.
Testosterone, and concerns about a shortage thereof, has become a political fixation on the right. Alternative media commentators have decried a crisis of masculinity in films such as The End of Men, while influencers promote “T-maxxing” and direct-to-consumer testosterone injections.
I’ve spent a silly amount of time on this app the past couple weeks. I’m going to laugh when I get that notification on Sunday morning about my iPhone usage. www.82-0.com/share?id=760...

Guys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.
A few minutes ago, two ICE flights operated by Journey Aviation landed in Eswatini, likely another third-country removal of immigrants to a maximum security prison there. Nineteen people have already been sent there on previous ICE flights in the last nine months. Only two have been released.
1) There has been irreparable damage. There’s no going back to Jan ‘17. Or even Jan ‘25. 2) It is a rational coping mechanism. And yet my wife and I are making plans to leave. 3) This might be myopia as an American - but it really is to all of our detriment. 4) The world will mostly muddle through.
The Adelsons influence on political culture in the USA has been awful. We are all suffering bc of it. However there are no words in the English language that that do justice to the malevolent influence they have imparted on Isr/Pal & the entire region.
Miriam Adelson is horrible, but she's horrible because she's a billionaire buying elections. Thomas Massie can't make a principled critique of all billionaires, because that would lead him to leftism, so he has to single out the "Tel Aviv born" ones. He knows exactly what he's doing here.
I, erm, am happy to admit I was wrong. It was an atrocious use of judgment on what was indeed a judgment call. I’m happy for Flo he won’t be unjustly suspended. I’m happy for Team USA that we’ll be at our full strength. We should never underestimate FIFA’s ability to just act w/out any scruples.
It technically can-but one shouldn’t hold out any hope the appeal will be successful. Successful appeals are only in cases where a ref clearly misapplies a rule e.g. the ref awards a ref for a handball incorrectly. The balogun red was a judgment call - fifa won’t overturn a ref’s judgment on appeal
Not to toot my horn too loudly but I'm pretty proud of this considering the selection bias at play here among the participants. Anyone actually following me on here will enjoy this. Take a shot at moving me down the leaderboard. oec.world/en/games/wor...
Arrive home from 10 days in Europe, 10 days that revealed significant shortcomings in life in Europe relative to the comforts we have here in the States & Mexico, and see this nonsense. 🤮
Here’s a member of the Texas State Board of Education openly bragging that they excluded “false religions” when they k-12 overhauled curricula last week.
This has to go down in the annals of best headlines in @bloomberg.com history
