If Adolf Hitler did everything the same but majority owned a popular public company, it would have little to no impact on the company. It would even result in some people humanizing and lauding him.
Anything for money.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Nope. You've been doing this for years. Type it out. You'll be ok.

Brian Milquetoast Callahan only went 0-4 once. He actually won a game in the first quarter of his first season with the Titans. They also won game 5 last year, so the 2026 Titans have a chance to start even worse than they ever did under that loser.
But, hey, at least they got rid of seed oils!

The Titans are 6-32 since firing Vrabel. Currently mired in one of the worst streaks ever.
But I looked it up and the Browns had a 2-36 streak over 38 games, so it could be worse. In fact, I think they went 2-41 if you extend that period ... so ... the Titans aren't the worst ever.

I remember reading Peanuts as a kid and thinking it was exceedingly dumb. Just ... did not get it. Still love me some Charlie Brown Christmas and Great Pumpkin but the comic was odd to me.
I used to read the "funnies" for Calvin and Hobbes, however, which is the GOAT and still slaps today.

In spite of being of the correct generation to have grown up while "Peanuts" was still in active publication, it's always a little surreal to be reminded that the most popular comic strip in the English-speaking world for fifty solid years was about an eight-year-old with clinical depression.

Really hard to go to bed when you're enjoying a book. I'm staring 5.5 hours of sleep in the face and I'm uncertain I want to go to bed.
This book has really grown on me. Chapter 98 right now and still somewhat uncertain where this book ends ... or where the series will grow.

I'm on chapter 39. My initial impression of this book was that it felt light. Things just kinda happened, nothing felt deep emotional or situationally. That's fine but not what I tend to go for.
As it's continued, I've found that quite enjoyable. It fits Jason well.

I think fantasy football would be better (balance and merit promoted) if managers who own a player get first right of refusal on a backup when someone is injured. If another team already rostered the backup, that's different. But if the player is a free agent, first dibs is granted.

You ever think how there's probably at least a subset of centaur culture that dallies with actual horse and how the rest of centaur culture must determine how best to relate with that behavior, probably maintaining taboos or even laws against it?

Frankly, they're only down by 6 and so I get it but this particular set of losers (the Titans) should be going for it on 4th and 4 near the 50. It literally could be the best chance they have to score all day.
That's not snark.

Hilariously bad officiating in the Titans game but, whatever. They deserve it.
They're less capable of overcoming it but they're just so inept on their own account it's hard to care.

Nothing says Titans like getting hit in the chest by a ball you end up dropping that wouldn't have gotten you a first down anyway because 6 yards was apparently too far to run.
