I hope JB Pritzker runs in 2028 both because he seems to stand firmly behind good ideas and because it would mean Oliver Platt would get to play him on SNL

The AirPods and Bluetooth questions are sadly connected. Apple created this by removing the universal headphone jack. Earbuds were more tolerable when you could see the cable, and the cost of decent Bluetooth buds has led to people just listening to videos and making calls on speaker in public

yeah we had top-notch insurance and we were still paying thousands (better than millions! the NICU statements were jaw-dropping and we were not on the hook for them). there was a time where I was delusional enough to want another kid too. sometimes we men just do not get it even when we get it.

watching my wife go through pregnancy, my observation is that it is physically and mentally taxing in the best of situations. regardless of any other factors, I understand why women would opt against having more than one kid or choose to opt out entirely.

🚨 Marc Guehi’s medical, completed in London with player waiting for Palace green light to sign at Liverpool. After Igor deal collapsed as replacement, #CPFC set to make decision with Parish/Glasner on it.
Colin Durant (@colindurant.bsky.social)
I mean if Crystal Palace can’t get a Guehi replacement and their manager is trying to convince him to stay over the chairman’s decision to sell, that’s fine. #LFC can give him a chunk of that £35M in signing bonus for a free transfer

Slot is obviously a very good coach and having strikers who can play on the wing if needed will be helpful when Salah goes off to AFCON in the winter. But I’m curious to see how #LFC gels. It’s a LOT of change.
Colin Durant (@colindurant.bsky.social)
Necessary to have two 9s after Diogo’s untimely passing and Núñez’s sale and it’s dumb money, but #LFC needs to get Guehi over the line too for defensive cover. On top of it, we do know what kind of ish Isak can pull if Real Madrid or Barça come calling.

If you have tomorrow off, if your kids attend middle school instead of working in a factory, if you have workplace protections, and if you have sick leave and vacation time, thank unions. Even if you don't belong to one, they're responsible for things we all take for granted. And happy #LaborDay.
