@shannondrayer Clear example of recency bias regarding some of these names.

@A_Jude I haven't been a "fire the manager" person, but it's clearly now time to let him go. This team is not playing for him. There is little to no fight.

@Mariners @AppleTV @SeattleSports Raleigh at 8 - what a slide. Hope it's a minor nagging injury holdover and he's back full strength next year.

@DKramer_ Does that sound like a pause for a Bryce trade?

I want to buy a 2026 replica.

This Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looks so modern, yet it was made over 2,000 years ago!

Ancient glassmakers created the tiny flower pattern using a technique now known as ‘millefiori’ (thousand flowers). A timeless design still made by glassmakers today!

[Fr. Joseph Krupp @Joeinblack]

I’m going to be blunt.
I’d like to talk about some of the very stupid things that people are saying right now
If you’re not catholic, I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to people who say they are Catholic.
Let’s start with the talking point about the pope sitting behind walls.
Have you been to the Vatican? These “high walls” that were built in the fourth century leave an opening about a half a mile wide so that anyone and everyone can simply walk in anytime.
Look at an image of Saint Peter Square you’ll see exactly what I mean.
What the heck are you guys talking about with high walls?
Would you like them to tear down a fourth century wall so that you think their politics might be more defendable?
Would you like a pope that runs about shouting “cry havoc and let’s slip the dogs of war!” is that the pope you want? What mighty army would he summon? How did our invasion of Iraq in the Afghanistan go? How many corpses do we need to pile up until everyone understands that war is a horror. Statistically, more than 99% of the people screaming for war will never be affected by it.
Maybe The Pope should call for a crusade?
I’m sure all 27 Americans who replied to it would make a huge difference.
Your political masters .2 about eight posts to see how bad the pope is. You believe them.
He’s given a ton of speeches about Islamic violence, he’s done everything in his speaking power to encourage people toward peace. But your political masters told you different and you followed like good acolytes.
Most of our Protestant brothers and sisters love us, Catholics. But the Huxter‘s and the insecure don’t. I’m watching Catholics repeat the talking points of anti-Catholic madman and acting like they have a geopolitical sense greater than that of a man in charge of a world wide institution with 1.3 billion members.
Pardon my intensity, but I am very sick of Americans being more formed by right wing and left-wing political commentators then they are by the spirit of the living God.
Do you want war? Go fight in one. Stand with me at the funeral of these beautiful lives, shredded and cut short so that your political masters are appeased.

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

Work on your reports. Review each of your life's ten million choices. Endure moments of self-loathing.

@TexasTribune Don't most health plans include the option to fill pharmacy prescriptions by mail?
