I think Mitch and Nate can both be correct. Nate just said HE hasn’t seen him, whereas before during his rehab he reported seeing him somewhat frequently. Mitch’s sources in the building can also 100% right in saying “ya he’s in here daily working hard trying to get back”.
This is what I’ve heard too regarding Josh Simmons, for the record. In the building (basically since right after that crazy week,) attacking rehab, going to all the meetings, doing everything he can to get back out there, etc.

The Media/PR environment around the Chiefs is so gross right now and I hate it. And it’s nobody’s fault but the Chiefs organization themselves by being as cagey as possible with every little thing.

No gonna lie this mostly sounds pretty great
MISSOURI, THIS IS WHAT WE WARNED YOU ABOUT. We warned that Amendment 6 would make sweeping changes to Missouri’s Constitution and laws harder to reverse. Now, just days after its passage, 10 new initiative petitions targeting the 2028 election have been submitted to the Secretary of State. And what’s being proposed should concern every Missourian. Here’s a breakdown of what these proposals would do: 🚩001 – Redefining Marriage & Gender Rights: Removes Missouri’s constitutional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, establishes constitutional protections for gender identity and sexual orientation, and allows minors to seek trans surgery, therapy, or counseling with parental or guardian consent. 🚩002 – Proxy Voting in the Legislature: Allows citizens to assign their legislative votes to individual lawmakers, giving some legislators potentially thousands of votes while others have far fewer. This would fundamentally change how representation works in the General Assembly. 🚩003 – Overhauling Missouri’s Legislature: Repeals multiple constitutional provisions, eliminates legislative primaries, introduces statewide elections for legislators, and radically restructures how representation works in Missouri. 🚩004 – Electronic Initiative Petition Signatures: Allows initiative petitions to be signed electronically rather than requiring traditional paper signatures, raising serious questions about verification, security, and FRAUD. 🚩005 – Stripping the Governor’s Authority: Takes away the Governor’s independent power to issue pardons, commutations, and reprieves, and replaces the line-item veto with recommendations subject to legislative approval. 🚩006 – Ranked-Choice Voting: Introduces ranked-choice voting in Missouri elections with more than two candidates for a single office, replacing our traditional voting system with multiple rounds of vote counting and candidate elimination. 🚩007 – Eliminating Primary Elections: Abolishes primaries for congressional and state legislative races and moves to statewide elections using party lists, stripping voters of their traditional ability to choose their party’s nominees. 🚩008 – Government-Run Healthcare: Creates a state-administered healthcare cooperative funded through income-based membership payments, dramatically expanding government’s involvement in healthcare. 🚩009 – New Taxes for Green Energy: Imposes a new tax on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to fund a government-administered renewable energy program. 🚩010 – Government-Built Housing: Establishes a state-run housing program financed through government bonds, offering homes at cost with no down payment and no interest over 30–40 years. Make no mistake: These aren’t minor policy adjustments. These proposals would fundamentally reshape Missouri’s government, elections, and economy. We warned about the consequences of Amendment 6, and now we’re seeing exactly why those warnings mattered. Missouri’s Constitution is not a playground for radical political experiments. The fight to protect our state and our representative form of government is far from over. 🇺🇸

Quidditch only makes sense in a league where Wins and Losses don’t matter as much as total points or point differential. That would make it more “catch the snitch even if you’re down 200 to stop the bleeding” not “play an endless game trying to win”
Quidditch is a great concept but the rules are atrocious 😂

It’s never going to happen… But if it does I will cry tears of joy
🚨🇺🇸 Sources: U.S. Soccer is expected to make Pep Guardiola a top target to become next USMNT head coach. Obviously the pursuit would not be straightforward nor easy. But likely to start with call to Pep. w/ @PaulTenorio @HenryBushnell nytimes.com/athletic/7773820…

Call me crazy but I don’t really care if it’s an overpay. We’re talking about 5th rounder in value, Bassa and Nourzad caliber of players. If we had given up a 2nd or 3rd rounder it’d be different but this is fine.
Slight overpay for the Chiefs, but that tends to happen when you wait for the last minute.

When I worked at JCPenny I told HR and the store manager that I was getting married ima. Few months and needed time off. I put in a formal request and followed up every other week. HR said they’d take care of it. 2 weeks before the wedding the schedule comes out
Companies will flat-out refuse to approve annual leave for you to attend your own wedding. They don't care.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The email chain is labeled "FICTIONAL EMAIL DRAMA" in the images. Employers may reschedule specific annual leave for operational reasons but must grant entitled time off, with many policies accommodating weddings. bekinconsulting.co.za/leave-laws-sou… greythr.com/blog/marriage-… absentify.com/blog/marriage-…

Wow this popped off. I should mention this was like a decade plus ago and I was planning on quitting in like 2 months anyway since my wife and I were moving away. But moral of the story, your manager and HR only have the company’s best interests in mind with every decision.

This is the thing. I want to see what a 10-2 Memphis, 11-1 New Mexico, and 11-1 Boise State can do against the likes of Tennessee, Houston, and USC. Maybe they’d get blown out, but they’re more deserving of having a shot than this year’s version of Ohio State.
Most of the problems with the 24-team playoff go away if all 10 conference champions get an autobid

I worked until 2 days before my rehearsal dinner. After my shift that evening I went into my manager’s office and quit on the spot. She tried to convince me not to, I told her why. And she just looked at me and said “Fair Enough”.

I heard from a friend that still worked there that the HR lady was fired shortly after, as were a couple of asst managers who helped make schedules after they caused the store to break some labor laws. That place was a disaster

Hawley is calling this as, by my last count, *6* Christian clergy and seminary grads are about to enter Congress as Democrats — and that's in addition to the two clergy already there (Cleaver and Warnock) and at least two additional div school grads (Coons and Landsman).
🚨What happened last Tuesday was shocking and historic. It calls for a historic response. Christians need to gather and seek the Lord. I’m going to host a time of fasting and prayer for the nation on Tuesday, December 15 from 12 to 1 at the Capitol. Meet me there!

Hi I’m Josh Hawley, I don’t like that the people spoke and my party lost control of the House and Senate. Please eat lunch a little later (or earlier) than usual in the most performative way possible

This is: A. Hilarious B. Disingenuous because they ran a terrible sneak almost as if they did it terribly on purpose.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid on the QB sneak w/ Justin Fields: "You guys asked for it. We gave it to you. It didn't work. How do you feel? ... Those are hard to practice. We've got to make sure we get the snap down..."
