I hadn’t even considered that. Imagine being the lawyer for the USWNT and preparing for this really tough lawsuit that you know will drag on filled with all these legal nuances. And then watching the opposing team do... this?

Netflix has a less sweet but also interesting version with glass artists. Glass isn’t my favorite medium, and while I didn’t care for a lot of the stuff they made, watching all the technique was fascinating. Also enjoy The Repair Shop, although it is too sweet for my tastes. That said, the range of skill on display

Most, if not all, of the episodes are on YouTube. Fantastic show.

“Now I don’t bring my own pickles to weddings anymore.”
That’s all it took to win me over! I love him! In one day I found out about our first Native American female Poet Laureate..Joy, Harjo...AND Cole Escola. I’m very happy now.

When I read the original news articles on what the USSF attorneys had argued at court, I legitimately laughed in disbelief. Also the core reason I read so many of those articles was to confirm that they had really made that case as I still can’t quite fathom it. Not only is it a bizarre case to make, for example every

As a card carrying male, I can honestly say the women’s team is entirely more entertaining & emblematic of what US sports should stand for. Who pays any attention to the men’s team anyway? The women’s team can be viewed as role models and heroes instead of simply athletes.

This increasingly sounds like it’ll turn into a justification for paying the Men’s Team at all

The filing also argued men and women’s teams operate under different “working conditions,” and that the men labor in more difficult conditions because of “opposing fan hostility”

The teams could compete out in Times Square for vaccine test subjects!

WTF is wrong with people? Don’t they know that “pandemic” and “international crisis” are just other ways of saying “opportunity”?

The problem with crowdsourcing, even among ER doctors, is that so few of them have any experience with epidemiology, that anything they offer would not come from a perspective of deep understanding or experience. This is what the epidemic teams and public health teams were supposed to do.

I’m betting that Trump has suggested firing him at least 5 times this week, but even his toadies know that it would create a mass panic if he did. Not that we aren’t in a mass panic now, but it would probably turn it up to 11.

Yup. TrumpLand, where eptitude(©) is not tolerated.

At every stage of this whole coronavirus response, I’m being given new reasons to say to myself “we’re super fucked, aren’t we?”

Is Jared done with the opioid epidemic and the middle east unpleasantness already?  I’m so glad he’s on top of this pandemic and those other minor issues...

Trump is going to find some reason to fire Fauci soon, isn’t he?

You would be fired from your job if you handled anything at all this way. It’s NOT off-limits to solicit the views and recommendations of ER professionals on the ground, who are dealing with this. It is abundantly idiotic to do so selectively (who am I related to? who do I play golf with?) and without having someone

Anyone who really understands viruses past and present would move the ‘honesty’ meter a notch or two if they said

There’s something I find remarkable about my own capacity, even three-plus years in, to underestimate the absolute reckless incompetence of this administration.

While this comes as no particular surprise, kudos to Dr. Kloss for exposing the ineptitude from his family-adjacent perspective.
