this looks like coordinated attacks on 3 spas in the Atlanta area, at least 7 dead: -- (link) - mud Mar 16, 17:12 11
- spas seems like a specific choice. -- nm - mafic Mar 16, 18:24 1
  - Roger's link changes from spa to massage parlor back and forth as though they're synonyms. For me, it conjures two different images -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 18:31

Couple of real winners in that 'truck into backyard pool' here the other day. And they weren't even locals. (C/P of police report) - Meg Mar 16, 16:02 2
- Doesn't look like there's any information about the victim, the driver of the passenger car. -- nm - Mop Mar 16, 16:11 1
  - Guess that would be up to the next of kin. -- nm - Meg Mar 16, 16:25

The current twitter war between Cardi B and Candace Owens is quite something -- nm - Jovian Mar 16, 15:43 2
- Has somebody collated a synopsis? Is it about the Grammys? -- nm - David Mar 16, 16:03 1
  - the Grammys, a sandwich Candy made for her husband and who also had sex with her brother. -- nm - Jovian Mar 16, 16:58
a small but loud cadre of critics who say people are tuning out because of anti-racism efforts by various leagues, teams and individual athletes .... - JD Mar 16, 15:28 11
- "My personal pet theory must be the answer! Also, while I'm not racist, it sucks that all these anti-racists have to make it a thing" -- nm - TWuG Mar 16, 15:54
- Literally everything is down. -- nm - Reagen Mar 16, 15:29 9
  - My purely anecdotal personal feeling (reflected in my own sports interest and viewing) is that people are just not comfortable and don't view these -- (edited) - pmb Mar 16, 15:52 3
    - I was either really desperate to watch sports (probably) or just adapted. I think I mentally view the no crowd aspect as that I've got the greatest - JD Mar 16, 16:14
    - no crowds sucks the life out. -- nm - Reagen Mar 16, 16:01 1
      - I'm starting to feel like that I'm only the idiot who over reacts to broadcasts all on my own. -- nm - JD Mar 16, 16:16
  - I've watched more hockey so far this season than I have in the last 5 combined -- nm* - Beaker Mar 16, 15:51 1
    - The division stuff is great. I'm only tangentially aware of hockey going on in the States, though. -- nm - Reagen Mar 16, 16:01
  - I have personally found that there are some things it turns out I didn't miss so much. Many sports, for example. -- nm - Dano Mar 16, 15:51 2
    - but take away Below Deck, and hooo boy -- nm - prayformojo Mar 16, 15:53 1
      - That would be a problem, yes. -- nm - Dano Mar 16, 15:55
Malcolm Brown to Dolphins—sorry Strongbad...that RB room is a mess now -- nm - Flavorize Mar 16, 15:26 3
- I'm going to draft an entire team of Malcolm Browns next Fall. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 16, 17:52
- He’s a DT from the Saints. -- nm - David Mar 16, 15:29 1

Kansas City Chiefs release veteran running back Damien Williams -- nm - Beaker Mar 16, 15:01 8

  - This makes me think they're out of the DeShaun sweepstakes. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 16, 15:05 4
    - They lost Fitz and need a backup either way, -- nm - David Mar 16, 15:12 3
      - My logic is Brissett is an above average backup QB that you wouldn't want to pay for if you have DeShaun. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 16, 15:13 2
        
        Most decent backups are getting $10 million so far. -- nm - David Mar 16, 15:30
        
        Tua was always going to be a trade piece, for Watson. I’m putting Dolphins 🐬 4th in the Watson. Any good team needs a quality backup though, Brissett - Flavorize Mar 16, 15:20
Here's how James McAvoy did on Bake Off this evening, just in case you didn't already think he was perfect. -- (link) - LMS Mar 16, 14:37 14
- He seems surprised they all turned out well. -- nm - . Mar 16, 16:38 3
  - He didn’t put any spots on his snow leopard though -- nm - Wolverine Mar 16, 16:55 2
    - But it actually looked like a snow leopard. -- nm - . Mar 16, 17:09 1

    - I like this story -- (link) - Dano Mar 16, 15:53 [youtube]
    - not like that'd stop anyone from trying -- nm - stim-mie Mar 16, 15:39
- Does Bakeoff normally have celebs now? -- nm - Diva Mar 16, 14:46 5
  - For a few years now they do a celebrity version for UK cancer charities but those episodes aren't broadcast outside the UK I think. -- nm - LMS Mar 16, 15:06
  - They do a celebrity version for their Stand Up To Cancer charity drive. It's usually two episodes. I don't think they've ever aired in the US. -- nm - Krusty Mar 16, 15:05 3
    - 4 episodes a series now. -- nm - LMS Mar 16, 15:07 2
      - Nice! They're always fun and I'm happy they're doing more. -- nm - Krusty Mar 16, 15:08 1

If we're going to make "what's a real Middle Class income?" state-specific, then we might as well start making it zip code-specific. Right? - con_carne Mar 16, 14:13 5
- I'm good with that :) -- nm - ty97 Mar 16, 14:31
- I probably muddied the discussion by tying it to a definition of middle class -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 16, 14:16 3
  - It's okay, the politicians can still say "We helped middle class families." "Actually sir, it was only this many--" "WE HELPED MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES." -- nm - con_carne Mar 16, 14:24
  - I get what you’re saying, but you’re really talking about an edge case here, not a base case. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 16, 14:21 1
    - Also, it should be noted there is an easy way around estate taxes. - Roger More Mar 16, 14:44
Russia viewed a Biden candidacy as a threat and worked to undermine his election by spreading false claims about Ukraine -- (link) - znufrii Mar 16, 14:10 2
- at this point we are probably just months away from the GOP openly supporting Russian positions in US politics. -- nm - Jovian Mar 16, 14:37
- I can't even be bothered to pretend to be outraged any more. -- nm - Mop Mar 16, 14:25
Strongbad, I figured that was the case, I’m just amused nonetheless. - znufrii Mar 16, 14:04 1
- I've always assumed it's a combination of habit, DGAF, and reimbursement -- nm - Strongbad Mar 16, 14:25
Former Cowboys' QB Andy Dalton is signing a one-year, $10 million deal, with the chance to earn another $3 million in incentives, with the Bears -- nm - stim-mie Mar 16, 14:01 8
- I don't know what to make of this. This is pretty much a make or break year for Pace/Nagy. Dump Foles and still look for a better starter? - pmb Mar 16, 14:19 5
  - Pace is already a dead man walking. He traded up for Trubisky with Mahomes and Watson on the board. - David Mar 16, 14:24 4
    - I mean, they re-signed him after that. Maybe management wouldn't let him mortgage the future to prove himself this year. But if they weren't going - pmb Mar 16, 14:33 3
      - Oh, they should have. -- nm - David Mar 16, 14:47 2
        
        Absolutely. The tweet above says they made a full on run at Wilson, but Seattle is keeping him. I think Pace couldn't bring himself to go after - pmb Mar 16, 15:12 1
