Well ****.  I was just giving my draft a vanity once-over and seeing if there were any new thoughts from pundits on my sleeper picks, and I saw that my final pick of the draft--AJ Simon--died today.

15 pounds of fluid bulks up your quads and biceps?! Wow I need to start hitting the IV.

Get you a synthol bod.

Flyers need a regulation win.  If it's tied nearing the end of regulation, they have to pull the goalie.

What a save by Chucky there.

Is that PP our F from the refs?

I thought it was a good call.

Not sure why Trump should keep getting do-overs.  First he had his bond reduced, then his bond company isn't qualified and he gets more time to straighten it out and they still can't get it right.  Tell him to pay immediately or the DA will start seizing assets.  

Don't forget that the reduced bond also came with an extension.

Reading the title, I thought someone was shooting home-security cams with a paintball gun and a grumpy homeowner took very poorly to it.

Nice for Lindgren to get the shutout after losing out on it in literally the last second a couple days ago.

Bs are lucky the Caps only have 1 so far.

Team looks different tonight, not too late to get hot to go into the playoffs?

They're a very Jekyll and Hyde team this season.  They can beat anybody, but they can also get quite embarrassed.  I'm certainly not putting any money down on them going to the cup, but I don't think anyone's gonna look at a series against the caps as a bye.

How did that not go in!?

That was a heck of a possession there.  Bs must have been sweating.

Another critical game tonight against the Bs.  Jensen out with that injury the other night, Dylan McIlrath called up from Hershey to take his spot.  Maybe his grit will play well in this playoff-atmosphere game.

This might concern me if I had any confidence that Trumpy false-flag actors had any competence at all, and exhibit 1 wouldn't be *the person's entire Facebook feed shouting how Trumpy they are.*  

Assuming you can identify the actor.  And even if so, will that stop fascist scum from holding the organizers responsible?

The case, which I've only read a very high-level summary of, doesn't seem to appear to be about sentencing participants in protests that get out of hand.  It appears to be about holding the organizers financially responsible if anyone at a protest they organized does something illegal.  So it would be like levying a civil monetary penalty against Donald Trump because some rando MAGA dumbass PATRIOT decided to punch a cop on Jan. 6 after Trump organized his little public remarks and encouraged everyone to "head down to the Capital."  

Or what we'll most likely see, a legitimate protest will have some Trumpy false-flag actors go commit crimes so that civil rights organizers get stuck with the bill.  Or police.  They love false-flagging protests against police brutality.

I definitely don't understand why some environmentalists still continue to dis-like nuclear so much other than they learned it from their parents.   I think the position was more justifiable in 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's when there was no understanding of global warming and hence people didn't factor in carbon emissions and when the design of nuclear powerplants was  less sophisicated and there was more potential for a disaster. On the other hand back then, coal was the most common fuel source and it burned less cleanly than say natural gas which is a lot more common today.  But yeah, environmentalist in France got their country to back up off nuclear like 10 years ago and of course their carbon emissions went up afterwardsd.

We still don't have an acceptable answer to the question of what to do with nuclear waste, really bad things happen when disaster strikes, and it takes decades to get a new plant opened while we can renewables going much, much faster without the prior drawbacks.

Ryan Leonard's season in the NCAA is now over with the loss in the Frozen Four finals.  Maybe he heads out to Washington to finish out the season.

I left the game after the Renegades added 3 more points making it 28 to 18.

Barring a huge collapse, we're getting the win we desperately need tonight.  The game has come at the cost of Nick Jensen, however.

Are they about to win?

How do you take delay of game on the final kick?

D.C. simply can't execute.

I could have gone with taxes or even how to farm bug protein to prevent the vegans from winning… but I’m trying to be a more positive person.

No Timmy you won’t be in music class like your old siblings, you’re part of our new 3rd program on life skills. You’ll be learning how to use tampons to stop puncture wounds from bleeding. Then, assuming you survive, we’ll move on to mortgage loan applications. 

If we're trying to give them skills they'll likely need, why are we teaching kids about mortgages?
