Since 1980, the NBA has added the following teams: Mavericks, Heat, Hornets, Timberwolves, Magic, Raptors, Grizzlies, Pelicans.
Setting aside years where they didn't make the finals, these teams have won an average of 38 games per year. The same as the Washington Wizards. Trash.
I run the sustainability program at a big company. Just so you know, I refer to Earth Day as "open mic night" at work.
There is a one million percent likelihood that LEGO has sophisticated hedging mechanisms in place to insulate itself from oil price shocks.
The truth of most situations is rarely as bad as the most alarmist people would have you think. But going on BlueSky and talking about AI as anything less than an extinction event for humanity is definitely recipe for the ratio.
Nobody needs a big loan from the girl zone that badly.
As a small phone person, I too share your hope.
The Radio Dept. and The Apollo program are two things I think about every day of my life.
The artwork for "Caught a Lite Sneeze" goes so goddamn hard.
Every big city is bad but I think 3 things distinguish Boston on this front:
1. No city this small has traffic this bad this far out in the burbs.
2. Highly randomized gridlock location, timing, and intensity; the capricious whim of the vengeful Calvinist God.
3. There are no alternate routes.
How bad is Boston traffic?
The winning time of the Boston Marathon on Monday was 2 hours and 1 minute. If you were to drive from downtown Hopkinton to Copley Square via I-495 and the Mass Pike in peak morning rush hour, it would take you approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.
The greatest story ever told
The difference between doctors and people in other fields: Most people want to earn as much money as the market will bear and get upset (right or wrong) if they feel like society undervalues their labor and skills. Doctors just want to be the highest-paid people they know.
I would like to take the occasion of WrestleMania to once again remind everyone that "Sgt. Slaughter Joins the Ba'ath Party" is the greatest kayfabe storyline in the history of Pro Wrestling.
The one type of othering that will seemingly always OK in professional environments is making people feel less than because they didn't go to a fancy enough school. 🙄
Annual reminder about the greatest champions in Boston sports history.

That was an excellent use of four and a half minutes back then.
If you're already in the area, it doesn't count as a dastardly deed. I went to a Cubs game on a business trip to Chicago once. I'm talking about going on a solo vacation and lying that it was a business trip.
I know who she voted for, and so do you.
I don't care enough to look it up, but I would hope that The Who opens every show with Baba O'Riley, closes every main set with Who Are You, and plays Won't Get Fooled Again as their final encore.
There is an alternate timeline in which Tears for Fears' "Elemental" is remembered as one of the best albums of the 1990s. Absolutely flawless record.
The only person who'd ever know is God. And that's a big part of why it's so bad.
It crossed my mind as a particularly devious thing for a person to do. Someone whose identity I shall not reveal subsequently reached out in the DMs to tell a story about their father actually doing something along these lines when they were a kid.
My God, same. It's so beautiful.
Do you ever think about how bullying per se isn't the problem, but rather that we're bullying the wrong people?
I've figured out the shittiest thing you could do to your spouse and children that doesn't involve infidelity, abuse, addiction, humiliation, or traumatizing behavior.
Get a bonus at work, don't tell anyone, go to Disney World alone, and say it's a business trip to Tampa.
I would live in a world without Internet if it delivered on the promises of this illustration.
I feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts and poured cement.
I don't want this to happen to Fernando Mendoza, but Tom Brady 100% has it in him to draft a QB and do to him what Michael Jordan did to Kwame Brown.
To get their doors blown off by the Celtics? Couldn't agree more.
