I can tell what you’re all thinking. Those guys in the other locker room are bigger than us. Stronger. Faster. Hell, they even got prettier cheerleaders. Moms who bake better cookies. Uncles who’re more conscious of their prejudices and are doing the work to listen and learn.
But you know what we got that they don’t? The thing that’s gonna turn this game in our favor?
Anyone? Because I’m stumped. And without some secret weapon up our sleeve—or an injury so tragic that it results in immediate cancellation and, later, a candlelit vigil—I’m positive we’re gonna get demolished.
Here’s a metaphor. There’s an elderly person you’ve known for years. Not a close relative, no, but someone whose career you’ve followed. You feel tremendous respect for them, maybe some affection. They’re getting old and frail, but they’ve kept active. Now and then you might see an article or something, and you’ll think, huh: still […]

During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, I worked as a Test Operative for a French food services and management delivery company contracted by the Conservative government to deliver mass virus testing at public expense. In car parks around Greater Manchester, I put swabs up noses and down throats. When the shifts were busy — […]

He is very stupid. But I suppose this whine will be persuasive to his cult followers.
Is this all staged for some campaign film? I don’t know. But all the saluting is just plain weird. I think Nikki had it right the first time:
Here's a look at the images released for Showrunner Russell T. Davies and Ncuti Gatwa & Millie Gibson's Doctor Who Ep. 5: "Dot and Bubble."
Not bloody likely This piece by Punchbowl is yet another “red tsunami” horse race piece designed to give Democrats heartburn. (Fun for MAGA and Villagers alike!) We’ve talked a lot during the past two years about the group of a dozen-plus vulnerable House Republicans who hold districts President Joe Biden won in 2020. But what if these Republicans aren’t as endangered as we thought? We’re in southern California all week talking to candidates running in competitive races that may decide control of the House. In conversation after conversation, we found rank-and-file Republicans increasingly ready to embrace former President Donald Trump in toss-up seats. Trump lost California by roughly 30 points in both 2016 and 2020, so this is a significant development. There are five Republican incumbents in the Golden State who represent seats that Biden won. Given the razor-thin GOP House majority, if Democrats flip all these seats they could win the chamber back this fall. But it’s not so simple. Much has changed since 2020 when Biden beat Trump in a popular vote and Electoral College landslide.
