    @Mik said in Damn it!: One never knows, but his past couple years hold limited promise. Meh, 2024 he was coming off an Achilles tear. He actually looked decent at the end of the world. And he missed all of 2023. If he performs half as well as he did in 21, it’s the best our starting QB has looked since 18.

    What’s nice is it’s below pre-Covid levels so it’s not just reversion to trend.

    I wonder what Brown and Sotomayor would say if you asked them why they voted this way in this case yet against the plaintiffs in Harvard v fair admissions.

    How does she know there aren't any black characters? Does Orwell mention that everybody's white?

    I don't know that a bunch of people denying the science of vaccines constitutes a serious lack of public confidence. More like a lack of sense.

    We’ve paid half the tuition and are paying the interest on the loans. Luke is paying the principal. That being said, I think it’s been tough living at the median income with a single income since the 80s, when the majority of families became two income households.

    RIP Bill Atkinson. IMO, you were a towering pioneer who brought the graphical user interface to the masses.

    In my view there’s not as much need to create a 3rd party as there was historically. As Trump showed a charismatic figure can take over the party apparatus of one of the existing parties. That wasn’t quite possible on the dem side in the last couple elections but the party is probably weak enough now for it to be possible. But of course I’m with you on yearning for more moderate politics.
