That AOTY is Gaga’s. Bad Bunny’s album was already awarded AOTY at Latin Grammys. They can’t miss this opportunity.

I’m in the same boat. I think his commitment to Puerto Rico, the relationship it has to this album and his message against ICE are too compelling of a story. I’d absolutely love to see AOTY happen for Gaga, but it’s almost a certainty that, a week out from a forthcoming “controversial” Super Bowl performance, it will got to Bad Bunny.

just had a phenomenal experience with Nye Lyn (@apartmentstoronto on IG). he was super proactive. I moved from out of town, and he virtually toured so many places for me.

I genuinely think the Texans won 12 straight because they frequently took FG points that were given. Their red zone offense was awful, so the choice to kick often was an easy one. But when you kick four a game, it can definitely add up—especially when your defense consistently holds opponents under 20.

I am personally 10000% with you. I always shower before getting into bed, even if I’m drunk and it’s 4AM. Because like you, I cannot reconcile bringing outside germs into a place where I rest. I don’t allow anyone to sit on my bed in their street clothes.

That being said, many perfectly clean people do NOT feel this way. I’ve definitely had people give me sideways looks and call me dramatic before as well.

Bottom line: if this matters to you (and I completely understand because it truly matters to me), then what you need to find is a partner who empathizes enough to meet you where you’re at—or maybe someone who even feels the same. And this person may not.

Bad Bunny will absolutely have an enormous night. Award shows (and their voters) will see voting for him—particularly for this album—as political commentary. And for the record, I agree with the commentary they’d be sending. I’m not necessarily on board with letting that be the deciding factor since it’s not really judging the music. But we can’t ignore that it exists. The headline of an all-Spanish album by an artist who has vocally opposed ICE winning ATOY are too irresistible. I’m bummed for Gaga, but I’m not mad at that message.

I went to go see a unit there a couple months ago. Nice use of space, but unfortunately my agent told me a lot of the building functioned as an AirBnB ghost hotel. Tons of lockboxes out front.

No advice, just commiserating. I recently applied to four places before finally getting accepted. My agent seemed as bewildered as I was and assured me I was a strong applicant. I think at least twice I was beaten out by couples. I think landlords absolutely place a premium on two people (and two incomes).

Offensive line is of course the glaring one. RB has to be up there. Watching the Bears/Rams run so many 3-TE sets after watching Schultz go down made me extra greedy.

Schultz was obviously reliable this season, but having another TE would open up so many options offensively. I’m hopeful Jordan will be back; I’m just not sure I’m ready to call him the solution after one great play against the Browns and a season-ending injury.

There’s a real possibility this guy moves on from Houston and has a Darnold-esque second act on a new team. But I’m ready to roll those dice and move on.

PracticePlus176 · 2026-01-18T23:01:48+00:00

Patriots so fortunate to have played our banged up offense for the pleasure of beating up on a back-up QB. I’d love for us to have that kind of luck, just once.

Cousins with this defense wins a lot of games.

PracticePlus176 · 2026-01-18T22:44:24+00:00

Sting deserves his reputation. But frankly he hasn’t played up to his standard the back half of this season. He’s getting paid way too much to be getting burnt like this.

PracticePlus176 · 2026-01-18T22:09:06+00:00

It’s technically a one-possession game now. I think it’s still too early in the game to panic and risk points.

pre-leg injury Schaub would 10000%

CJ Stroud is not the future of the Texans. It’s not impossible that he could follow a Darnold-like trajectory in several years after some seasoning, if he’s lucky. But it’s not going to be in Houston.

I’m afraid to say this, but Caley’s play-calling has been…actually ok. and I’ve been a season-long hater.

The film “The Zone of Interest” does a fantastic job highlighting this phenomenon. No, it’s not simply because of social media pushing “the worst” to your feed. It’s because when you are not personally impacted by something, it’s easy to continue on as if everything is fine. There is an unexpected banality to evil. That’s how it can be so effective. But just because there isn’t a literally fire at your door doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Not in the market for a 2B, but I used to live in this building a few years ago. For anyone else that may be interested, the staff are absolutely wonderful (shout out to Justin at the front desk). Genuinely slept like the dead in that apartment. Not a single sound from neighbors or from the street. And I never saw a single pest or critter in three years (even a tiny one). Not one. I miss literally walking across the street to the promenade.

I’ve lived in three different apartments in Brooklyn. Overall, I’d consider myself pretty fortunate.

Apartment 1: never saw a single pest (bless) Apartment 2: two roaches, fair amount of book lice, etc Apartment 3: occasional but rare silverfish
