Eh, the one problem I do have with Reese is that she chased down Clark to make her “sort of” see it (Clark did a good job ignoring that nonsense) and in her face. Clark’s face palm thing against Louisville was not directed towards any one player and the cupped ear earlier in the tournament is towards the fans, not the…

As much as right wing speakers tend to be more interested in riling people up, advocating for their (violent) death is not exactly the act of a rational mind. Certainly not the act of what a professor should be advocating for.  He’s gotta have tenure if he’s only suspended with pay.  An associate or an adjunct would…

I think you might have seen more offers after the draft. Bad teams are not going to want to give up known top 15 picks this year.  They’d be far more willing to gamble next year and 2025 though as they figure those picks would be further down the draft so not as valuable.

Sanderson would never take on that job. Way too much rape and graphic violence for violence’s sake and too nihilistic.

Accessible authors are good because while I love stuff by Steven Erikson, Tad Williams, Miles Cameron, Joe Abercrombie, et al, authors like Eric Flint, David Weber, Sanderson, Stephen King (to an extent) and other writers who write more at a Junior High level are more cozy and are comfort reads.

Not surprised at all that he took the high road. I’ve read a lot of his work, but not a superfan. He’s good enough to read and his worlds are impressive; that’s about all I ask. I don’t need everything to be super weighty prose as that shit gets old after awhile.

Yeah, while it’s generally safe to be holding on to those treasuries given how long we were at zero interest levels, as soon as that first 0.75% rate hike, they should have been seeking to move around their investments to protect from big losses. It’s definitely going to hurt the entrepreneur market as there are a lot…

No, Cam, there aren’t 32 better than you. There’s probably 45 that are better than your broken down self, now. You were very good at your peak, but you took way too many hits (not all of them legally, mind you and you didn’t get as much protection as say Aaron Rodgers in late hits while running) and were never…

These lawyers must not know any Cubs fans.  We expect only the worst outcomes!

Until that stops working, too! 

Yeah, fees that added an 110% upcharge to a $20 ticket, that is a horrendous look for a group that is already facing congressional scrutiny.  Especially so when the artist made such an effort about keeping at least most tickets to a reasonable value and trying to limit the resale market.  Maybe they were also afraid…

Drake fans should get on Drake enough so that he does what Robert Smith of The Cure did: get ticketmaster to back down a bit by offering partial refunds!

I think it will play out reasonably well as it has in the past. You will still find tix on the secondary market but they can very easily be refused at the door and far riskier to purchase than normal.

I don’t like all the money given out as ideally, I’m a smaller government type of person at heart (but pragmatic enough that we need to fund some social services for society’s sake).  I think this falls under the interstate commerce clause of our constitution, especially the highway corridor plan.

It’s the WSJ, expect a more right wing response.  It’s what they do.

Mouch of SVB’s portfolio was invested in US treasury bonds, which for a long period were considered “safe” investments. Unfortunately, treasury bonds have devalued significantly in the last year with all the rate hikes that have taken place the last year.

Should Lil Nas X posted what he did?  Probably not.  People are imperfect though, and young people (he’s still in early 20s right?) don’t always think things all the way through (old people do too, of course, but impulsiveness tends to be stronger the younger a person is) before hitting “send”.  He apologized, let’s…

It’s so easy to donate other people’s money, isn’t it?!?

How is that describing who she was?  The only non-breakout stars are Winona Ryder and David Harbour (and Astin in season 2) and maybe one other.

Yeah, it’s par for the course on this site for a stealth edit...  Then again, Sam would have never gone back to edit at all.
