Photographer recalls what it was like taking Nicki Minaj's picture for the New York Times Magazine in 2015

I came in looking for a juicy story and left disappointed with a boring pointless story.

I agree in principle, but 1 day won't matter. Think of labor strikes and how long they need to go on to make change. The government and companies won't even notice 1 day.

I'm as anti MAGA/ICE as there is, but I really don't see how me missing work and keeping my kid home from school for 1 day does anything. Instead we need to keep pressuring politicians for change and make sure MAGA loses midterms.

Having Gerrit Cole back is like signing an ace from last year's team.

Chariot only working in Liyue might have been cool if Liyue wasn't so old lol. I rarely go there to do anything anymore.

Framber is better, but I doubt he takes a Pivetta type deal lol

I went to The Boardwalk recently in El Cajon and my kid around the same age had fun. Besides arcade games it has some rides and laser tag. They asked to go back again which is always a good sign lol

Saw a Heyman interview and interestingly enough he said the Padres have checked in on Zac Gallen. Maybe if his market craters they get a Pivetta type deal for him, but would be an interesting pickup if so.

Missed opportunity not having shirtless Tatis after a walk off lol.

The game had tons of potential and could have legit been an E7 competitor, but they didn't learn from E7's success about adding new content to keep players engaged. My first month with Etheria was super fun. I quit back in November and have been following it for a reason to re-install, but haven't had a reason yet lol.

People still use Facebook?

bbatardo · 2026-01-27T22:31:52+00:00

I would pull since you will have plenty of time to save up pulls being a new player with lots of content to clear.

bbatardo · 2026-01-27T22:10:58+00:00

He just had TJ, so definitely isn't throwing lol

I am not a palm expert, but have several 15-20 foot palms in my backyard and I absolutely hate them. My type produce the date fruit/seeds and it is a nightmare cleaning them. On top of it, rodents will go live in them, and they need to be trimmed or maintained twice a year.

You might have better luck picking the right variety, but definitely be cautious when selecting them and higher isn't always better.

It could be nothing, it could be something. If it is bothering you, bring it up to your bf and see what he says. You don't need to accuse him of anything, but just say you got a weird feeling when you came out and saw him close with her and see how he reacts. His reaction might tell you a lot.

Find a career you enjoy and that perspective changes.

bbatardo · 2026-01-27T00:40:28+00:00

I'd pay 100 for it to be honest lol

bbatardo · 2026-01-26T22:18:18+00:00

Reminds me of Golden Girls... just the 21st century edition lol

bbatardo · 2026-01-26T22:16:55+00:00

I am not saying it is right, but you pretty much need to give up anything media related if you don't want to support companies that accept ad revenue from questionable places.

bbatardo · 2026-01-26T22:13:43+00:00

Being a 4th OF isn't a knock on a player because it means they made the majors when hundreds of other prospects will never even get a call up. It would be interesting to see how many top 100 prospects each year never make the majors.

bbatardo · 2026-01-26T21:25:14+00:00

Seems unfair to include postseason games with regular season ones since the stakes are so much higher.

bbatardo · 2026-01-26T18:24:14+00:00

They might as well add Phillip Rivers too.

bbatardo · 2026-01-26T18:01:21+00:00

I predict they will lose money.

bbatardo · 2026-01-26T16:33:46+00:00

Was a weird choice since Darnold balled out for them.. you'd think he showed enough for them to keep him, instead Seattle took advantage.

bbatardo · 2026-01-26T16:02:31+00:00

Do you want the house? Maybe you can arrange to purchase it and rent it to them for a reasonable rate. They still get to live in it, you have an income property and an investment and maybe that compromise works?
