All three of Omar Khan’s first-round picks have taken a pre-draft visit to Pittsburgh. (Broderick Jones in 2023; Troy Fautanu in 2024; Derrick Harmon in 2025).
If that trend continues, the Steelers’ pick is likely one of these six players:
The father of Detroit Lions star WR Amon-Ra St. Brown says the key to raising professional athletes is having kids with a Black woman, not a white woman:
“I'm Black, mom is white, now I've stepped on it once. You can't keep stepping on it.”

@AdamSchefter I might decide to support the one team that
a) keeps their uniforms the same as before (without trying to sell us they’re different or
b) actually comes up with something new and doesn’t shove a 99.9% same uni down our throat like it’s amazing!
This nurse was busy at work at the hospital. A member of a patient’s family came up to her and told her that the bathroom was out of paper towels.
She goes in there and looks for herself, the paper towels were full and the dispenser was functioning. The same family member then walks in after her and corners her in the restroom.
He then proceeds to tell her how pretty she is as he tries to read her name tag. She immediately tells him to step aside so that she can exit. She’s visibly shaking and upset. She didn’t want to upset the patient that she’s caring for but she feels she needs to speak out, should she report him or do you feel he meant no harm?
American has a paid off Ford Expedition so she goes into the Ford Dealership to see what it would cost to upgrade to the new Expedition Platinum Max
To just lease the vehicle for 48 months the cost is $1,700 per month
This exact same lease payment in 2019 would have only cost $550-$750 per month depending on trim options
“$1,700. I laughed in the man's face”
Americans are being robbed blind

@DiegoChunguss@mistressdivy I know it’s X and no one cares. But this is a blatant lie. .33% is less than the interchange rate for any business type and any card in existence. If you pay .33%/transaction, your business is paying at least 1.5% of your gross every month for Interchange.
The real crime is them charging 3%
I own a business that needed payment processing and I was able to easily set up with a large payment processor and pay 0.33% per transaction
So that means if I charged my customers 3% to use a card, I would be making an extra 2.67% just because someone used a card
@TrishnTN@HotDawgFingers@Dratuna_@mistressdivy These states prohibit a surcharge. Surcharge is when the business says they charge 3.5% on card transactions in order to offset the 3.5% fees they are charged by Visa/MC/D/Amex. Dual pricing(where card customers pay a fee, cash no fee) is legal in all 50 states.
@HotDawgFingers@Dratuna_@mistressdivy You could have Googled it. Here: “Eleven states—California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas—and Puerto Rico have laws that prohibit merchants from charging consumers with surcharges on credit card transactions.”
@ZweiterOrdnung@mistressdivy Correct- if the business raises all prices, everyone loses- esp cash customers. If the business does dual pricing, only card customers pay the fee (which is much less than getting ATM w fees!) and cash customers still get the unraised price!
@mistressdivy Yes, but their fees assessed by credit card companies will just be rolled into the cost of the product, and not declared.
The fee will always be passed on to the consumer.
@PontificatorIC@mistressdivy The “guise” of a cash discount is a benefit to both customer and business. If a business pays the card fees, they either raise the price on all (including cash) or they offset w surcharge. If they pass the fees to customer, cash discount applies (and fee is less than ATm fees!
I still remember a time when it violated Visa and Mastercard rules for business businesses to charge an additional fee to pay with a card.
These days, they all just hide it under the guise of offering a cash discount. But yes, if they don’t except cash, they definitely should not charge an additional convenience fee.
@mistressdivy Depending on how the credit card fee is charged—-it IS illegal. Can file a complaint with PCI and there are fines and possibly loss of acceptance of certain cards for the business. I work w businesses every day to make sure they are compliant (aka take cash)!
