Why would Dems save Trump and the Rs from the healthcare meltdown? Doesn't seem to matter how much Dems help Americans - they vote for Rs anyway. It's not great that people will be hurt, but people need to see it was the Rs who done it to them.

What's up with Barkley? Does he have a long-term injury? When that guy is fit and firing, he's very very dangerous. I'll never forget his goal that singlehandedly beat Leicester in 2020.

Asensio is not great off the ball, but around the opposition box he is magic. Hope Villa can get this done - and then Unai figures out how to manage him to get the very best out of him.

My thought exactly. If Big Balls had gotten drunk and thrown a sandwich, the worst-case scenario is he'd be cited and would pay a fine and that would be the end of it.

I talked with someone on the Workday transition team who said "Payroll and HR are completely broken dep'ts." So I'm not completely surprised that they have botched the rollout so badly, & also I'm not surprised that there is no mgt accountability - all will get raises, probably.

I'm glad you're interested in this issue and want to bring more attention to it. Modified car-exhaust systems are a big problem in Portland, Oregon, USA, where I live but police won't enforce existing laws. I haven't asked but I suspect they'll say they have bigger fish to fry.

I was impressed by Villa's defensive solidity. I can think of many similar games where the defense crumbled and Villa lost 2-0 or 3-0. But this time they did not - not even with ten men.

I used to live on a shared Park Service / US military reservation, and the Park Police were the worst. Since they never saw any actual crime, they spent all of their time harassing the military members who lived there. They had no sense of proportion.

I read recently (somewhere) that the traditional college degree -with leisurely contemplation, thoughtful debate, theses/antitheses etc - will soon become a luxury good available only to the elite, while everyone else uses AI to do their thinking for them. Yikes!

Weavers during the Industrial Revolution were encouraged to jump on the power-loom bandwagon. 😜 But seriously, you raise such an important point, which is that AI is antithetical to education. There's already so much evidence that tech is making kids dumber.
