Genuine question on a restaurant situation:
You walk up to a counter to order.
You find your own table and seat yourself.
If you order coffee, they hand you a cup and you go fill it up yourself.
If you order food, they hand you a buzzer and when it goes off, you go pick it up yourself.
The iPad has a “20%, 25%, 30%, Other” tip option, with 20% already preselected.
What’s your move?

Reed Blankenship joins Jaelen Phillips, Nakobe Dean and Jahan Dotson as #Eagles starters to depart in free agency. While it seemed unlikely he would be back, an $8.25M APY for a starting safety doesn’t seem exorbitant considering the rising salary cap.

The #Texans have agreed to terms with former #Eagles S Reed Blankenship, source said. It’s a three-year, $24.75 million deal with $16.5 million guaranteed in a deal done by Kyle McCarthy at @AthletesFirst.

@jakeboyer_1 Someone needs to bring a high chair to the big boy table for Danny B. He’s certainly no Howie Roseman

I'm trying really hard not to get emotional about this, but it's getting very hard not to get annoyed.
This team's in no man's land, and the best we can do is trade Brink, who's actually one of our young guys?
I'm happy about the Brink trade, but that CANNOT be the last thing the Flyers do today, otherwise I'm going to be mad.

Two hours to go, but told from team source no one is meeting the price for Rasmus Ristolainen yet. We're going down to the wire here it seems

A junior said "Good morning" to me in the elevator.
I checked my watch.
It was 11:00 AM.
I looked at him.
"It's almost lunch," I said.
"You're three hours late to the concept of morning."
He tried to explain he'd been at his desk since 7.
I interrupted and told him accuracy matters more than intent.
I emailed his reviewer suggesting he take a CLE on time management.
He apologized later.
I didn't reply.
I forwarded the apology to HR as proof of his inefficiency.
Greetings are risky.
He learned an important lesson.
Never speak to a partner in the elevator.
Unless spoken to.

Hey Eric I’d never heard of you but quick google search said you were literally removed from House Intelligence Committee for having your office infiltrated by a Chinese spy named Fang Fang😭😭 Can’t even make it up. Maybe sit out the National Security lectures. Politicians man🫣

Stick to sports. You’re at least half-right there. Your whiny-ass ain’t going to an Iran battlefield anytime soon. It’ll be poor kids from where I grew up. Life must be pretty comfy in your suite. Stick to judging your favorite pizzas. The adults will sort out the wars.

@Its_ereko @grok isn't this footage originally from Tehran following the US drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani on January 3, 2020. Can you please provide information on this video and it's original sources.

🇮🇷 Tehran is flooded. Not with water. With people.
Streets full. Voices loud. One word echoing everywhere.
Revenge.
They thought killing the leader would end it. It just started something new.
The empire celebrates. Iran mobilizes.
And the streets are telling the world exactly what comes next.

@RossTuckerNFL From a father who raised ice hockey players those days were always tough but now that they are older, I look back and met some of my best friends in the world, had quality time with the kids and miss it often. Enjoy every waking moment as I know you are!!!

@RickSanchezTV Wait…. Aren’t you the guy who was fired from multiple news stations, had legal trouble and constantly defamed people? I grew up watching your train wreck of a career. Good to see you are still around. Not so good to see you are still completely irrelevant.

FORMER PRESIDENT BIDEN: “By the way did you see Trump give the State of Union….is he still talking?”
“I don't know. But folks, it's unbelievable. The guy talks for almost two hours, but never mentions the anniversary of Putin invading Ukraine. Never once.”
“I spent a lot of time in Ukraine and I've met with Putin more than any other world leader has. Incredible bravery of those people. Imagine how they feel, wondering, are we leaving them? We're walking away. He doesn't apologize.”

Iran just fired missiles at five countries simultaneously. Here is what actually happened to each of them.
Bahrain. Confirmed hit on the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters. Bahrain’s own state news agency reported the strike. No casualty figures released yet. This is the command center for every American naval operation in the Persian Gulf. It was struck.
UAE. Multiple missiles intercepted by Emirati air defenses. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from falling debris. The UAE defense ministry confirmed the intercepts. The Emirates just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory from a country it shares a maritime border with.
Qatar. Missile intercepted. Zero damage. The Qatari Interior Ministry confirmed. The same country Iran just attacked is the country that hosted Al Udeid for twenty years as a gesture of regional balance. That balance ended this morning.
Kuwait. KUNA state news agency confirmed missiles were “dealt with” in Kuwaiti airspace. No reported damage. Kuwait, which stayed neutral through every Gulf crisis since 1991, just had Iranian ballistic missiles flying over its cities.
Jordan. Two Iranian ballistic missiles shot down by Jordanian military. Confirmed by the Jordanian armed forces directly. Jordan intercepted Iranian missiles in June 2025 as well. That was in defense of Israel. This time Iran targeted Jordan itself.
Saudi Arabia. Fars News claims strikes. No confirmation from any Saudi source. No Tier 1 or Tier 2 verification. Either it did not happen or Riyadh is not yet ready to say it did. Both possibilities carry enormous implications.
Now understand what Iran just accomplished strategically. In attempting to retaliate against Israel and America, the IRGC fired missiles at six sovereign nations in a single morning. Not one of those nations attacked Iran. Bahrain did not bomb Tehran. The UAE did not launch strikes on Isfahan. Qatar hosted diplomatic back channels. Kuwait maintained neutrality for three decades. Jordan was mediating.
Iran just converted every neutral and semi-neutral state in the Gulf into a potential co-belligerent. Every nation whose airspace was violated, whose civilians were killed, whose sovereignty was breached now has legal and political justification to join whatever coalition forms next.
And the damage tells the real story. One civilian dead from debris. Intercepts across four countries. No confirmed destruction of any US military asset. No reported American casualties among 40,000 troops in theater. Iran fired at the entire Gulf and the Gulf caught almost everything.
Compare this to what Israel did to Tehran this morning. Precision strikes on the IRGC Intelligence Directorate. Explosions near the Supreme Leader’s office. Three detonations in central Tehran confirmed by Iranian state media itself.
One side hit what it aimed at. The other side hit one civilian with debris.
This is the asymmetry that will define the next 72 hours. Iran demonstrated intent to strike everywhere and capability to hit almost nothing. The Gulf states demonstrated they can defend themselves. And now those states must decide whether the country that just fired ballistic missiles across their borders gets to do it again.
They will not let it happen again.
Watch for the joint statement. Watch for airspace coordination between Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Kuwait City. Watch for the coalition that Iran just built against itself with a single salvo.
Iran did not retaliate against Israel this morning. Iran gave every country in the Middle East a reason to retaliate against Iran.

@drose204 @Patflyers1037 @UncleButsy @SuitableAlias That's Mike Sullivan, the Rangers' head coach. Matvei Michkov (Flyers) just scored the OT winner against New York, ending their game in a loss. Classic rival coach reaction to getting beat.

@drose204 @Patflyers1037 @UncleButsy @SuitableAlias It looks like he's mouthing "Oh fuck!" right as the goal is confirmed, then grimaces and looks down. Classic pissed-off coach reaction in the continuous shot.
