  1. At this point, every significant media outlet should just set aside $25 million to pay Donald Trump for some reason or another.
  2. Oh, is he dead, Jim?
  3. I loved Inside the NFL as a kid. Back in the 1980s before the rise of ESPN, it was the only real source for quality highlights of all of these prior week's games. Harry Kalas's narration was legendary.
  4. Tyson King ain't running on that field Saturday.
  5. It doesn't undo any federal conviction, and I don't know that any such conviction was ever a real threat. And the fucker is still permanently disbarred by the D.C. and New York state bars, and the pardon can't touch those sanctions.
  6. DOGE . . . something, something . . . waste, fraud, and abuse . . . something, something . . . .
  7. That's the big question I have have: Most people who take melatonin long-term suffer from insomnia or other poor sleep issues, and poor sleep has by itself been linked to heart issues (as well as dementia). My wife has had trouble sleeping most of her adult life since she had kids, and perimenopause has cranked that up to 11. She's worried that several years of that will increase her risk of dementia-related problems when she gets older.
  8. I’m not sure which asshole I’m rooting for.
  9. Mike Johnson: “We were going to do that anyway.”
  10. It helped the Indians win the pennant.
  11. Fucking A, that looks awesome.
  12. Catching up since I was not on night shift. What's the play for the Dems? Cave on the shutdown, but once Congress re-opens move to extend ACA subsidies, scream "We told you so!!!" when the Republicans do nothing, and hope the pain of increased health care for so many in the red states carries over to the 2026 midterms?
  13. Sleep is a huge issue for longevity, both quality and quantity. I've always been a light sleeper, and often have stress from work or other parts of my life creep into my brain in the middle of the night and keep me up for stretches. Maintaining an exercise routine and not drinking during the week have helped a lot with sleep over the past 10+ years, but I also take melatonin most nights, at a lower 3mg dose. Anybody else take this? Now there are reports of a study linking long-term melatonin use with increased risk in heart failure. https://www.sciencealert.com/common-supplement-shows-concerning-link-to-heart-failure The article notes some limitations in the study, which has yet to be peer reviewed, but the correlation is pretty significant, and it's getting a lot of press.
