Should go further. Public employees should be barred from wagering on prediction markets altogether.

Is there any actual source for this?

Source?

Oh, but you get to participate in the oh-so-important tradition of booing the commissioner every time he walks on the stage for some reason. No one there knows why they do it, just that’s it’s imperative to do so.

I have my preferences, of course, but I’ll work my ass off for whichever NFL team drafts me. I almost have my 40 time in the single digits.

This reminds me, have you ever seen the Jason Ritter video from a few years ago where he is Johnny Marr at practice playing and listening for the first time to the words Morrissey has come up with for “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others” ??
It’s a treasury of subtle facial expressions.

Some folks see this and say “why even bother, everything is run by terrible people.”
And I say fuck that. Boycott the folks/businesses who are absolutely telling you flat out that they are terrible.

Well, I guess it’s the Reeks and Wrecks for my kids then.

Okay, what kind of supplements will Tim be hawking?

The performers and the attendees are on the side of money. money from and for the white nationalist trash bag who runs the festival.

This machine must be stopped.

We all lost, and a bunch of y’all don’t get that.

Good job, White Stockings

If you’re giving someone a gift, give them a gift, not a chore. If you have expectations of them, then it’s not a gift.

Live free. Food gatekeepers didn’t get enough hugs as kids.

Be the change you want to see.

You don’t believe in the first amendment, Jake. You’re a coward.

Sometimes a bit of encouragement is helpful.

Sure. In lieu of that, sharpie your phone number on her arm (not, like, where any rando can see it, though) in case you get separated. And maybe point out some potential meeting locations should that happen, and an info desk, etc, where she can ask a grownup to borrow their phone.

This is where actual school librarians, not library assistants, would be valuable. Too bad a lot of school districts decided they were expendable.

Another Record Store Day where there was absolutely nothing I wanted.

If only he had Brandon Marshall to hold the attention of the investigators, he would have gotten away with it.
