Regarding closure, I wish I had been able to have a private conversation with with the person I spoke about in my essay,” she wrote. “Reaching out to him over texts made me vulnerable, and ultimately ended up in a tabloid article where said texts were chopped up and spun to discredit me.

Just FYI, the Dow has all sorts of problems as a measure of investment performance.

That, and I’m sure his visit resulted in a new rule afterwards where guests can’t play any music from their phones.

While I’d heard of him, only time I’d ever watched Hardwick was during his guest appearance on Critical Role when he was funny but an utter jerk. Oddly enough, my only exposure to Dykstra was her appearance on G&S in a few random shows on it as well (yes, I can be a nerd, but it’s often better than TV when I’m on the…

I’m not sure why you’re anxious. Davis, Chapman, Treinen, and Lowrie will all be traded for highly projectable single-A prospects the moment they fall back in any of the races.

I’d agree the language is weird as hell (and very Daleyian Chicago), but between :30 and :32 his hand is clearly moving towards his waist and what was very shortly thereafter revealed to be a piece under his clothing. I’m guessing that’s what it was referring to.

One other note on Costco Cash Cards - they work on the gas pumps too.  Just insert them during the membership card check and you’re good to go.

Did a little Twitter thread digging.

This is a weird, sloppy link to a weirder, sloppy piece that should have never left their editor’s desk in its current form. It includes this gem:

This is all that needs to be said.

A friend of mine out there who knew a number of people involved (several of whom died) was furious about what she felt was Harris getting railroaded; apparently he saved a number of lives trying to get people out at no insignificant risk to himself.
