I have a dumb question: where would Hogan be since the coaching change? IIRC her numbers were near-bottom at the beginning of the season.

Yup. But if they miss playoffs, it'll more likely be a combo of them dropping points & 8th place gaining points.

Elimination numbers are similar. If Utah loses, or if Bay wins, Utah's number drops by 3.

Orlando needs 9 more points, could be three wins or some other combo of their results, or could also include the 9th place team dropping points.

This but the Spelling Bee game for me. I need to find something else to drink my coffee with. I did cancel my news subscription & got a significantly discounted Games-only subscription from the process, so at least I'm giving them -almost- no money?

I wonder if these will follow the private equity big-box model of bleeding into bankruptcy

Walz too. I don't know that he's innately that progressive, a rural-ish district sent him to Congress, but at least he signs what the narrowly-Dem legislature sends him

It's hard to imagine what a D president in 2025 needs to look like without knowing in advance which branches of Congress are Dem-held. Both: just need a Walz to sign whatever they pass Only Senate: anyone who will expand the Supreme Court to 13 Only House: <shrug> Neither: Veto pen at the ready!

You'd think Tesla of all companies would get this. More proof it's a cult of personality that just happens to be listed on the stock market.

Like, the 14yo Civic where the headlights dimmed and the wipers slowed down when I took my foot off the gas? And replacing the alternator and a couple other parts didn't fix it? Cut my losses and move on.

My kid was watching a Midwest Vocabulary Challenge on Tiktok & asked me about a few items. She ended up rotfl because I nailed the accent (haven't lived in Minnesota in over 30 years).

Oh I agree. But I don't even trust this court to release an opinion on this case. Like, who's going to compel them to release an opinion, if their majority just chooses not to?
