“It’s not one guy, it’s a system issue” is a pretty woke response from Kevin
This game was weird in that he had bad luck with drops but good luck with a bunch of potential interceptions (though at least a couple of those were from the drops) Overall pretty promising for Dak going forward
Crazy that every drive of the first half scored and then the 2nd half was 3-0
100% catch rate!
Ok, seriously, where are AJ and Devonta?
Evergreen
5.5 week old and being on call for the next 72 hours starting in the morning đź«
NOT the first player (or even first Eagles player) to get ejected before playing a snap in the opener the year after playing in the Super Bowl, though. Jeremiah Trotter in 2005
They need to make better use of DeJean
It’s not as if DeJean has played outside and not been good, though. I think he’d be good wherever they played him in the defensive backfield. They needed him at nickel last year, but the glaring hole is outside now
Begging Fangio to just put Dejean outside and roll with McWilliams or Bennett or whoever at nickel
It’s wild that AJ Brown and Devonta Smith have done next to nothing and Philly has 3 TDs in 3 drives
I’m probably in the minority of Eagles fans who think that was a good no-call
Dotson sighting!
The sharpie thing was one of the coolest and most creative celebrations of all time, and the NFL immediately went out of its way to make sure nothing like that could ever happen again (I hate TO because tore the Eagles apart, but the sharpie rocked)
That’s not what he’s talking about
I don’t get how this is supposed to make anything better. Let guys celebrate and trash talk Like who watches the NFL and thinks “gosh, I’d love this if only these guys played more like robots”
Taunting is stupid. How does an extra emphasis on preventing stuff people like to see make the NFL’s product better?
Cooper Dejean is right there…
What the actual fuck just happened???
A very Go Birds to all who celebrate
Also not a presentation of carotid stenosis!
Would be nice, and particularly the actual measurements of different sizes Though I think that a company like that one is catering to a very specific customer base who have strong feelings about those details (and are willing to pay $440 for those “simple” jeans)
I’m sure there’s a baby somewhere in this picture, but I can’t tell where
We’re big fans of safe sleep

Also, the “threat” is normally not something that is a violation of international law
Sort of, but not really. The justice system normally is coercive in the sense that it uses the threat of severe charges to get plea agreements to lesser charges, but defendants do have the option to say “screw you” and go to trial when they have no case. KAG isn’t even getting that chance
Don’t kink shame!
How does that work, hypothetically? Like is the compliment some kind of magical incantation? In practice, it seems like the opposite is true. Guy in charge is terrible and unpopular, and Dems should be doing anything in their power to highlight that he is terrible and they oppose him
Being worried about the rights of a criminal is a good thing
Cuomo is literally running as an independent because he lost the Democratic primary that Mamdani won So Democratic voters decided who they wanted and it wasn’t Cuomo
There are a variety of different statutes in different places (and whether certain actions meet the standard for those is a matter of opinion), but the general concept of murder long predates any of those and isn’t terribly well-defined
1. What kind of conversations does this guy have? 2. Is it just reading something from them or like do you have to have read the complete works of Shakespeare for that to count?
Blue birria, blueberries, and blue beer, on Bluesky
Baby is only 3 weeks old, but he can already follow complex commands like “flail all of your limbs” and “screech like a velociraptor” So advanced!
What makes you think he wants to do the right thing?
Ah yes, hiding behind social media monikers like…their legal names
D&D is interesting because magic CAN be a thing you’re born with (sorceror), but it can also be a thing you studied your ass off to learn (wizard), or something granted as by a god/demon/nature/whatever, and magic users aren’t considered inherently better than people who go punch stuff really hard

Baby and kitty being best friends
Legend of Korra also gets at some of this, particularly in the first season. The Equalists are fascinating antagonists in part because they’ve correctly identified the problem, albeit with a questionable solution. Sort of Magneto vibes with the “special” and “not special” roles flipped
I don’t think the political structure is inherent in the concept of magic. There are certainly fantasy settings where magic is separate from social status and even settings where those with magical abilities are specifically persecuted (the Seanchan in Wheel of Time, Fjerda in Shadow and Bone, etc)
There are some fun series with the premise that basically everyone in society has some of it EXCEPT the main character, who compensates in other ways (Black Clover, Mashle)
I feel like there is a large and fairly obvious gap between asking for strict doctrinal adherence to organized religious hierarchies and asking for a bare minimum explanation for the *internal* inconsistency with your own prior behavior
I feel like this understates how well-established hoagie is because it just focuses on first choice word. Hoagie is well-understood outside the Philly area, but “grinder” will get you weird looks outside of New England
Ah yes, discovery, famously a rapid process that occurs without having to even file a lawsuit. Just message Bluesky with “discovery please” and they’ll give you whatever you want
I get “fake doctor” a lot whenever people are mad about something medical, and like not only do I use my real name, but I’m the only person in the country (probably world) with this name. People are just so lazy
Ah yes, discovery. Famously a rapid process that happens before any legal action has even been taken. Just DM bluesky saying “discovery please” and they tell you whatever you want
I looked at their “basketful” of studies, and they didn’t manage to cite a SINGLE that is even in vivo in humans OR animals. This isn’t even at “giving this chemical to mice ridiculously high doses causes cancer” level. It’s like in vitro studies relevant to shelf life. Just appalling incompetence
It’s more specifically “French fries are unhealthy NOW but they were totally fine back in the olden days and we need to go back to that” because their knowledge of those days is being a child and having no idea that fries might not be ideal Also a fair bit of “liberals want to ban your meat!!”
2nd amendment just needs to be repealed. Just one of the worst policy decisions in the history of our country
It’s extra funny that it’s maybe the most hated drug in neurology
Seems more straightforward to just increase the minimum wage
Brain, uterus, panda, alpaca…who’s to say, really?
Nobody warned us how adorable infant hiccups were going to be
I was nervously watching those same people as someone with asthma and thinking “I would very much like the medical freedom to keep doing this whole breathing thing. Breathing is just the bee’s knees”
To be fair, actual radiologists look at this and see a giant panda, so 🤷‍♂️
I waited for months after starting my current job to get it (started March 2021), and it still blows my mind that there were people IN INPATIENT HEALTHCARE SETTINGS, that were just like “no, and how dare you???”

This is what happens when you let computer audio recognition do your closed captions
Why not both? I recommend watchmaking
If you don’t understand the most basic elements of medical consent in pediatrics, you should probably sit this one out. The patient, their parents, and multiple treating physicians all agree they should receive a treatment, but apparently the only one who matters is YOU, an online transphobe
My son just had his bris. I had mine at 8 days old. 58% of US male babies are circumcised. I’m glad my parents made that decision for me because circumcision as an infant causes vastly fewer problems than doing it as an adult, and an adult cannot retroactively decide to be circumcised at 8 days
Puberty is not reversible. It is very literally an irreversible change to their bodies that you want to force. That you want to FORCE trans girls to have male puberty and then ban them from sports for it is grotesque. You would deny them a choice EVER because the choice cannot be made as an adult
It is entirely within our power to prevent trans girls from going through male puberty at all (and thus having even a theoretical advantage at some aspects of some sports), but you seemingly want to force irreversible changes on their bodies instead, against their wishes and their parents’ wishes
I sense that this is going to quickly lead to me blocking you, but on the off chance you’re asking this in good faith, the reason is that puberty blockers are not useful in adults. That boat has sailed *Puberty* irreversibly alters your body, in ways that trans teens may not want
I still remember being a med student on peds seeing a small 8-year-old girl with BPs in the 180s and the intern trying to convince me it was just due to anxiety
Also, “trans women have an unfair advantage because they went through male puberty” rings extra hollow when the same people yammering about this are trying to FORCE trans girls to go through male puberty against their wishes by restricting puberty blockers
Throw in Aum Shinrikyo (sarin gas, and also quite a bit of drugging people for attempted brainwashing) and you’ve got a whole pharmacology lesson plan
I got in a Twitter fight with Adam Baldwin, and it turns out that the reason he was so good at playing a dumb, paranoid asshole on Firefly is because he is in fact a dumb, paranoid asshole
He also seems to respond to drinking songs. This one in particular: m.youtube.com/watch?v=OuTY...
Oohhhh. I was baffled at how hockey championships had somehow become female-coded
I feel like Stanley Cups is some lore I must have missed at some point

Well the dial is from a guy in Qatar who makes them (who is a really impressive artist). The rest of the parts I get online (mostly Alidepending on what I think would go well together and build from scratch. Looks something like this before starting
New hobby is chanting “chug, chug, chug” while our newborn is nursing I’m convinced that he responds to the encouragement
“We need to stop all the COVID testing. We only have so many cases because of all of the testing”
Update, part 3:
Tag at the bottom is totally false advertising
People who understand basic economics and reality must be bots. Cool bro. Muting you now. You’re too stupid to help
Learning there’s only one R In bupropion is the medical equivalent of learning there’s only one R is sherbet. Seems like the entire world has just been messing with you for years
This sums up what’s annoying about this place. If you’re going to believe conspiracy theories as asinine as “businesses don’t care about selling stuff and make money through shadowy dark magic,” you might as well just become a chem trails person Actual reality is bad enough without this crap
You are transcendently stupid if you think the SEC would be cool with all that just being made up or that businesses don’t want to sell shit This seems pretty clearly like “I’m too lazy and/or stupid to learn about this, so it must be some vast conspiracy.” Might as well be a chem trails person
Publicly traded businesses in fact release regular reports with breakdowns of their sales, expenses, investments, plans for the future, etc etc, in quite a bit of detail
That may have been the stupidest thing I’ve read all day, but to be fair, we’re only partway through the day, and I’m sure you have more ways to tell me that you’re completely clueless Businesses still generally make money primarily by selling goods and/or services
Good Lord, how are you this fucking stupid?
Unequivocally bad for them, yeah. As are tariffs. Turns out that there are multiple things that influence stock prices. Crazy, I know
That was a whole bunch of gibberish (and also largely unrelated to the article). What on earth makes you think corporations want mass deportations and limited? That’s just unequivocally bad for them. Decreased labor supply and decreased demand for products
That’s not even vaguely what it actually says. What it says is an attempt to say “we’re not going to campaign on just going back to Biden era. We should be trying to make things better than that” It’s kind of vapid and useless without anything more specific attached to it
Nothing like trying to explain what public goods/externalities are and why recreating Crassus’s fire brigade is not, in fact, a good idea
Update, part 2: This dial gets more beautiful the more closely you look at it
Uh huh. Helpful when people put in their bio why I should block them
I read it. It’s vague hand waving from the quoted pols that misunderstands and overcomplicates things. Biden was unpopular because inflation. Trump is unpopular because he’s doing shit that is cruel, stupid, or frequently both, and inflation hasn’t magically reversed
Of course it should be reflexively undoing it. If you think there’s other stuff to improve, do that, but the bare minimum here is being the party that believes in having a functional government that helps people Simply “undoing it” is already a huge task
This is the primary reason I no longer carry any kind of knife. Just don’t trust myself to remember not to take it places I’m not supposed to take it

If Makary wanted to restore trust in the FDA, he wouldn’t be focusing on evidence-free nonsense about food dyes, and he would have resigned the moment RFK He doesn’t care. He’s a guy who made his career off a lousy paper with a sensational headline. He sucks
