The Swamp

EdRomero

Any person with an ounce of power (like a governor) should be shamed and politically destroyed for doing one little thing for Trump and especially giving him a photo op. The last 5 months has been pure evil and corruption with his thugs taking actions which are destroying the lives of millions of ...

The two biggest mistakes I made last time was doing the Intermediate Hal Higdon training plan instead of the Beginner, which I think wore me out, and only training on flat surfaces. I've convinced myself that hills are better for my mental well being and for changing up the muscles I use.

I've been feeling old, tired, and worn down so I decided to give myself some motivation. I'll be doing my second marathon (on the 3 year anniversery of my first): https://www.runmdi.org/

Worst case scenario I'll be seeing Acadia for the first time if I'm forced into a miserable walk.

For work I need evidence of two MMR vaccines, but my childhood vaccine records were lost, so my doctor did a titer test to see that I have immunity. I do not. Mumps and Rubella, I do, but for Measles I do not have immunity. So I will be avoiding Texas until I get some MMRs. I wouldn't have had the ...

I do not buy that Deion had anything to do with this drop. Deion was well-liked and respected by every team he played for, including the Braves. Dude worked extremely hard and was a very good locker room guy. The idea that Deion was going to come in and micromanage a QB in an NFL locker room is ...

Is there another non-conspiracy option besides “this kid is such a dick, we can’t have him as a non-starter in the QB room”?

You’ve got it. That and, “we hate his father, and don’t want his influence.”

But the fifth round is definitely looking more like "This is a league that literally ...

the ESPN talking heads looooove Sanders. Mel Kiper is about to have a stroke ranting about how the NFL doesn't know anything about QBs using the wonderful evidence of pointing out Brady getting picked in the 6th and Boomer Esasison in the 2nd. Guess he forgot about the 100s of failed QBs taken late ...

The town hall events are proof that the reckoning has legs already.

Naw, the protesters are all Soros paid actors. That cracks me up when I hear it. Like they could pay 10s of thousands of people and not have it come out.

Like Fox viewers have seen one second of footage of those events and ...

My Red Sox update: a friend's son had a procedure at Boston Children's Hospital (doing great, positive prognosis), and 3 Red Sox came to visit, which is great of them, but my friend has zero interest in sports, so he sent a picture of the players to his sports fans friends to identify them. It was ...

My bird watching is stopping when I see something and taking a photo to send to my friend who was an obsessed bird watcher. He's traveled the world searching for specific birds, studied obsessively, you name it. So if you have questions or need more resources I can check with him. He started with ...

Unless I totally missed something, that ending was awful.

Yes. I was waiting for one more twist. When they showed the body bags going to the plane, I was thinking it could be Belinda and her son.

For what it's worth, Trump had announced back in early March that he would impose tariffs on April 2.

Didn't he announce some and then pushed them back a few times? I think for cars

Signal story was gaining too much momentum so he finally went through with the tariffs. Now that this story of him destroying the economy is picking up steam, what's next? War with Iran? Martial Law because of this weekend's protesters? (actually MSM ignored it so he probably can't twist it around ...

Reading Outlive right now. Anyone familiar with it or have opinions?

Peter Attia, Mark Hyman, Andrew Huberman, James Clear, Rich Roll and the like all seem to be similar to me. I fear they're all one or two moves away from really going full Russell Brand or Joe Rogan. There's so much ...

Tonight was good news from Doug Flutie's alma mater. Pretty sure Bucknell is now out of the running.

Great area for running and a good omelette station at one of their food halls. On the other hand, you'll form a bitter ...

Patriots spent a lot of money on defense and very little on offense, so I'm assuming (hoping) there is a left tackle in the draft they are very confident about.

Well I really like glucose, I'm a terrible sleeper, and mental health..no comment.

The running you are doing is awesome. My only advice is just keep at it; don't worry about pace, distance, or anything, and that improvement you've been seeing will continue.

Considering that basketball includes both offense and defense, why is everyone so sure that Luka is miles better than AD? Sure, AD gets hurt a lot, but he's a MUCH more complete player than Luka. Luka is fun to watch on offense, but he barely even pretends to play defense. AD has hot a lot more ...
