Yep. I have been anti-corporate charity including national/global charities (United Way, Red Cross, etc.) for 25 yrs, but extra militant about it in the last 5-8.

[Ethan Brooks @alt_w_v_g]

Went to the grocery store this morning

Bread, milk, eggs

$47.63

The screen asked if I'd like to round up to support a children's hospital

I pressed no

The cashier looked at me

The woman behind me looked at me

My wife looked at the ceiling

Again

This company made $14 billion last year

They can round up

Went to get gas after

The pump asked if I'd like to add $1 to support veterans

I support veterans

I pressed no

A $200 billion oil company asking me to fund their charity while I'm paying $3.89 a gallon

That's not philanthropy

That's outsourcing

Drove through for lunch

Taco Bell

The screen said "round up for education?"

A fast food company asking me to fund scholarships while paying their employees $11 an hour

I pressed no

My wife said "you know you're arguing with screens today"

She was right

But the screens started it

Went to the pharmacy

Picked up a prescription

$340 after insurance

The screen asked if I'd like to donate $1 to help families in need

I just paid $340 for a medication that costs $4 to manufacture

And now you want a dollar

I pressed no

The pharmacist said "it's just a dollar"

I said "it's never just a dollar"

She didn't respond

Got home

My wife said "you said no to a children's hospital, veterans, education, and families in need today"

I said "no. I said no to four corporations who want me to fund their goodwill so they can put it in their annual report"

She was quiet

Then she said "you're not wrong"

I said "I know"

She said "but you're still going to look like a monster"

I said "I'd rather look like a monster than quietly fund a billion-dollar company's PR strategy at the register"

She didn't disagree

But she didn't look at me either

Plz fix. Thx.

@WaddleandSilvy @IrishBearsShow @JeffJoniak Ask him about his burner account

@IrishBearsShow Flus
Getsy
Flus/Snow
Caleb

[Dr. David A. Solyom @davidsolyom]

@robertkschmitz @Johnathan_Wood1 That Getsy has to figure out on the fly what his players and collective offense can/can't do shows me he's in over his head. Not absolving Fields of anything but JF's strengths and weaknesses (and Whitehair's) are well known commodities at this time. Getsy needs to coach like it.

Granted, neither team has been routinely even average, but I don’t think both have been this awful at the same time as far as I recall.

[Dr. David A. Solyom @davidsolyom]

NGL, having Purdue and @ChicagoBears suck this much, this early in the season is a huge letdown. October is my birthday month and I always associate football w/October since it’s the first month w/football weather. Seasons 4 both teams are essentially over B4 month is half over.

RT for the chance to win a helmet autographed by @NBAxJay1 & help him win $25k to a charity of his choice!

@Bearlissimo1 @robertmays @adamrank @IrishBearsShow I am assuming we made some decent OL changes as well. Didn’t seem as overmatched after the half.

[Dr. David A. Solyom @davidsolyom]

@robertmays @adamrank @IrishBearsShow @Bearlissimo1 what I am looking for today is the analysis of what happened at halftime. On both sides of the ball, two very different halves.

The dominant analytical chemistry program for decades.

[Purdue University @LifeAtPurdue]

.@usnews continues to list Purdue’s grad programs among top in the nation. #Purdue graduate engineering program is at #4, @PurdueABE at #1 ⁠— joining at #1 for 2023 rankings is the analytical chemistry program. @PurdueEngineers @PurdueChemistry https://t.co/kVUepDwEFZ

Wow. Amazing, @Johnathan_Wood1

[JD Brown @JDBrownWrites]

@dabearsblog @Johnathan_Wood1 I cannot get over this.

I am simultaneously enraged at Nagy and crew for thinking those guys and that scheme were the answer, reassured in my belief in Fields as the actual answer, and laughing my ass off at how insane this is.

Beautiful morning here in Lake Jackson, Texas

Sometime soon, moving to Ohio. Will miss Texas A LOT.
