The anticipation and anxiety is killing me.
Happy Philip Rivers Day to all those who celebrate! If the Colts somehow can win the game, Disney will own the script by Friday.

Let's make this very clear: It's not "Uncle Phil", it's "Grandpa Phil," and he is stepping in to try and save an incredibly talented Colts squad to save a playoff berth. And if you're not cheering for him to succeed, you're a heartless monster. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Anyone who thinks that Philip Rivers, who earned over $240 million playing in the NFL, actually came back to play for health insurance benefits should never be listened to for sports analysis ever again.

Look I think the unraveling of the Colts deserves a 10,000 word deep dive essay by a great sports journalist but if we get Rivers back as starter it deserves a movie.

This would make it officially the most insane Colts season in a long history of mind bending “what the H*** are they doing” insane colts seasons. Also, I’m kinda here for it.
The #Colts are bringing QB Philip Rivers in for a workout on Tuesday, per @MikeGarafolo. Rivers, who is a grandfather, last played for the Colts in the COVID season.

More than 60% of workers are forced to wait 400 days or longer just to get a first contract after they vote to unionize. This is corporate corruption. The Faster Labor Contracts Act would make fast first contracts a reality for millions of American workers — and the Teamsters

I love how often people say things like this when I’ve explicitly spoken against things like this. My favorite.
@MikeCosper You’re always telling us that words are violence. Yet I’ve never seen words kill anyone or send them to an Emergency Room.

Megan is exactly right. So much is profoundly better. In fact the real issue is that things are so much better and life is so on-demand that we are entitled. As Yuval Levin has said, conservatism is about gratitude. It would be good to recover that virtue.

As Hannah Arendt once said, one can drive a nail into the wall with the bottom of your shoe, but that does not mean it's a hammer.

And not to "And another thing", but and another thing... Yeah dude, congressional authorization changes the way we think about the moral calculation. Why? Because we live in a constitutional democracy and they own primacy on war powers. If God gives authority to government to
But you are in favor of the exact same acts and worse so long as it has explicit congressional authorization, according to your own words, because then in your thinking it would be only "judicial murder" apparently. And this you make a "moral" consideration, despite the fact that

I will resolutely and unashamedly call the Trump Admin's actions extrajudicial because they are definitionally extrajudicial. Congress being a clown car of cowards who don't want to exercise authority does not by default convey moral or procedural authority onto anything the

Not an editor. Also, not ridiculing or mocking anything. I’m insisting that words have meaning. That distinctions matter, especially when we are talking about “reasons we get to kill people.”
This is the Editor of Christianity Today, "Many people call it "Christianity Yesterday," Ridiculing conservatives and mocking the evil that drugs have done to families, communities, the deaths and lives destroyed. Downplaying the importance of stopping illegal drugs from coming

I dunno guys. As far as I know Jesus loves “white trash losers” too. But in any case that doesn’t blur the distinction between weapons and drugs I’m not pro legalization of pretty much anything. But I’m also not pro crafting a narrative that authorizes extrajudicial murder.
@MikeCosper I didn’t quote you as saying no biggie. That was the vibe your post had. Drugs are ruining our youth in particular. Many are not white trash losers but normal everyday kids. I’ve had friends lose children. So again, I’m not precious about drug boats getting blasted.

Never once said, "No biggie." I said, "Words matter." Conservatives used to have a sense that people had personal agency. Now they seem to think that if drugs make it to our borders, Americans, like Zombies, will be compelled to consume them no matter what. So we have to
@MikeCosper Everyone right now picture in your head the people you know that have been affected by drugs. Now picture Mike purposefully saying they are just drugs not weapons. Just fentanyl….no biggie. Maybe we should give the boats a prize for not having “weapons” Mike.
