I need one of my friends who are studying the effects of ENSO to title their paper “Storming Through the Party Like My Name Was El Niño” please. It’s rejection-proof with millennial referees, guaranteed.

adult friendships are just exchanging "im alive just depressed and busy but ily" messages back and forth until the end of time

You want to know why teaching is scary? My Business Law prof taught us that we’d forget his class within 5 yrs, because memory is fungible (it decays). 14 yrs later, I not only retained it, but just discovered that isn’t even what fungible means. It just means interchangeable.

@NickLee51 I was at that game. Been living in DC and finally got to see the Seahawks on the road and brought my friends to watch their first NFL game. I told them that the Ravens defense was what the LOB was like. Hiring Macdonald was the easiest decision.

Can you imagine if this was the approach that Biden took to enforce COVID vaccines? Of course not, because that would have been insane, and yet, MAGA wholly supports this when claiming they lived under an oppressive regime.

When you have about 20,000 armed, masked men who refuse to identify themselves driving around the country in unmarked vehicles, randomly asking people at gunpoint what kind of American they are, it is just a matter of time until everything spirals out of control.

I wonder if the thousands of people who told me to "stick to finance" will send the same message to Dave Ramsey

Never ask if you’ve hit rock bottom; new lows are always eager to present themselves to those who ask.

Why can’t taking a risk just be an exercise of taking you out of your comfort zone, like the Walk-By-Faith test in The Last Crusade?

Pretty rude when you take the leap and there isn’t actually a bridge to catch you.

@badgraphix @endracizmpls @homoeconomix Long-term capital gains tax is capped at 20% (emphasis on the word “gains”, since the basis value is not taxable). But with all the tax deductions available, no billionaire is even getting hit with a rate that high.

@moonlithoax Travis is the most look-at-me podcast bro. He is perfectly capable of acting like that independent to how his relationship is going.

First Pete Carroll, now Jurgen Klopp.
These have been some of the few public figures I’ve admired, and was so grateful for them being part of the teams I’ve grown to love.

Wish the best for both of them, but 2024 has so far not been kind.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Jurgen Klopp has decided to LEAVE Liverpool at the end of the season.

@FootballGirlAna This why you don’t give up on people. Yes have boundaries and relationships change, but to see people for their whole self and not to treat them as disposable is rare, and not easily forgotten.

[Grant Xavier Storer @grantXstorer]

@Maura_Dool Pete’s authenticity to love deeply shines in these moments. We enjoyed Pete in the moment, but I think Pete’s legacy will just continue to grow with time. We’ll look back at this time like how we remember Wooden, Lombardi, & Summitt.

When my kids ask:

“Dad, how good was Pete Carroll?”

[Grant Xavier Storer @grantXstorer]

Thank you, Coach! @PeteCarroll is one my very few role models: Inspires & empowers others to be passionate, work hard, & to be your authentic self. When others let you down and hurt you, you'll still be there with open arms, because you want genuinely want the best for them.

[Seattle Seahawks @Seahawks]

Worth crying for.

@TheCinesthetic Is this movie even real? All the trailers were so disorganized it felt like a fake movie trailer you see in a movie.
