It's a show I love, but I can acknowledge that it takes a while to find its footing. And the final 2 seasons are poor. But I'm sure you'll end up watching it over and over like the rest of us. It's such a rewatchable show
Women are turning to cannabis for help with medical issues

Happy 04/20

What I immediately learned was that cannabis has become a lifeline for countless women who feel unseen by conventional medicine. They are grandmothers trying to ease the side effects of cancer treatment, athletes managing endometriosis, teachers navigating the sleeplessness and mood swings of menopause. Everywhere I went, I heard versions of the same story: “I tried everything else, and nothing really worked. Cannabis was the only thing that helped.”
When it comes to menopause, the situation is particularly problematic. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) once promised relief, but warnings and controversies about potential risks left many women worried. Faced with few good options, it’s no wonder so many are turning to cannabis. In the data, you see it clearly: Women now outpace men when it comes to cannabis use, especially among middle-age and older adults.
In the stories I gathered over the past year, I heard something profound: a quiet revolt against being ignored.
One of the most surprising places I found this revolution unfolding was Oklahoma. The state that once had some of the toughest drug laws in the country is now, somewhat affectionately, called “Tokelahoma.” Since medical marijuana was legalized there, an entire industry has sprung up seemingly overnight — scrappy, local, women-focused and driven by a can-do ethos that could only happen in America’s heartland.
I met women who had become unlikely entrepreneurs, building businesses powered by equal parts grit and compassion. There was April, a mother in Tulsa who pivoted from selling houses to dispensing cannabis-infused edibles that help women manage chronic pain. There was Bonnie, a young businesswoman in Tulsa growing strains that could help women with everything from sexual dysfunction to insomnia. And then Ebony, a trained chef who moved to Oklahoma to make edibles, is now a community doula and cannabis educator at the heart of a community of users called cannamoms.

These women are rewriting the narrative around cannabis — rooted in scientific data, which they are slowly starting to gather as well. They’re creating products specifically for women, guided by empathy and experimentation rather than stigma or shame. It’s a movement born not in laboratories or boardrooms but in kitchens, home gardens and local dispensaries.
The larger conversation about medical marijuana also continues to shift at record speed. This year alone, several major medical organizations have called for a reevaluation of cannabis’ classification as a Schedule I drug, arguing that the evidence for its medical use can no longer be ignored. There’s promising research into cannabinoids for neurological conditions, chronic pain and even autoimmune diseases. Women are leading the way there, too. Dr. Staci Gruber, a pioneer in cannabis research at the Marijuana Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery, known as MIND, in Massachusetts, is putting a spotlight on cannabis for endometriosis and symptoms related to menopause. Dr. Hilary Marusak, a developmental neuroscientist at Wayne State University in Detroit, is at the forefront of how cannabis affects the brain across every stage of life.

That would be great deal for the Pats
There's just too much content. Having to watch Disney+ shows to know what's going on is absurd. I don't think movies like no way home, GOTG 3, Thunderbolts, Shang Chi, D&W, are any worse than the Infinity saga. They're actually better than several of those films, IMO.

I thought Disney would take the 12/11 weekend after Jumanji moved out, but they've decided to stay with the 12/18 release date. Will you watch one, both, neither? Same day event, perhaps?

“Dunesday”? “Doomsdune”? Whatever the nickname, cinema operators are bracing for a box office battle royale on Dec. 18.
That’s when two of this year’s biggest movies — Disney’s Marvel adventure “Avengers: Doomsday” and Warner Bros. and Legendary’s sci-fi epic “Dune: Part III” — are scheduled to face off in theaters. On one hand, it’s an embarrassment of riches for a business that frequently complains there aren’t enough exciting films to showcase. On the other, it seems like poor planning to expend so much firepower at once. It has left many in the industry to wonder if one of these blockbusters will end up relocating elsewhere on the calendar.
Neither film is expected to blink, which is surprising to box office watchers because there’s so much overlap in the target audience. Although “Doomsday” has four-quadrant appeal, both of the tentpoles have male-skewing fanbases. After all, “Barbenheimer” was a classic case of counter-programming; the two films at the center of the cinematic phenomenon — Greta Gerwig’s bright pink comedy “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s extremely dark historical drama “Oppenheimer” — catered to very different demographics.

For some NFL Draft prospects, joining the league now means a pay cut from CFB
Posted by RLDSC FAN on 4/19/26 at 9:12 am
quote:
Chambliss, 23, was projected as a middle-round NFL prospect with potential to be the third quarterback taken in next week’s draft. But in a sign of the shifting landscape of college football, his lawyers made the case that going pro would actually cost Chambliss millions of dollars compared to the value of his name, image and likeness deal at Ole Miss.
And Chambliss isn’t alone.
Last year, Vanderbilt star quarterback Diego Pavia waged a similar fight, getting a court to rule in his favor, gaining another year of eligibility. This year, Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar and Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris fought to extend their college careers, too, though judges ultimately ruled against them.
The influx of NIL money in college sports has changed the dynamic. For some, running out of eligibility means facing something new when they enter the NFL: a pay cut. Chambliss’ case was an extreme, but it’s a trend that began before this year. Both starting quarterbacks in the 2025 national title game told The Athletic they earned less in their first year as NFL players than they did in their final seasons at Ohio State and Notre Dame.
“You can create generational wealth now and it doesn’t have to start in the NFL,” said quarterback Will Howard, who won the national title at Ohio State two seasons ago.
Chambliss is expected to make between $5 million-$6 million this season at Ole Miss. Only the first 11 picks in this year’s draft will make more than $5 million in the first year of their contract, according to Spotrac. If Chambliss was a second- or third-round draft pick, his salary would range from $1.2 million to $2.35 million as a rookie.
And the gap is growing between what athletes — especially quarterbacks — can make as college stars and what they earn as NFL rookies.
quote:
Last year, Howard and former Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard faced off with the national title at stake.
Howard won and, a few months later, became a sixth-round pick for his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers. Leonard landed with the Indianapolis Colts four picks after.
After being drafted by the Colts, Leonard signed a four-year contract worth $4.4 million total. Howard signed a nearly identical deal that averaged out to $1.1 million annually.
“I’m definitely making less with the Colts,” Leonard said. “And you see the numbers flying around college football. The money’s doubled since I’ve been there.”
Leonard declined to say how much he was making in his final season at Notre Dame but said reported numbers of $1.5 million were “overshooting it a little bit.” He said he made more than 10 times at Notre Dame what he was making the previous year at Duke.
Howard, too, said he made less as an NFL rookie than he did leading Ohio State to the national title as a transfer from Kansas State in 2024.
“It’s weird,” he said. “It’s definitely different.”
And in the NFL, there’s a catch.
“In college, the money is way more guaranteed,” Leonard said. “Only like $200,000 of my contract is guaranteed. You have to make the team every year for four years straight to earn it all.”

'Anchor babies’ reach nearly 10% of all US births: new data
Posted by RLDSC FAN on 4/18/26 at 2:57 pm
quote:
Nearly 10% of US births in 2023 came from illegal immigrant mothers, according to newly published research.
Pew Research Center revealed that 320,000 of the 3.6 million babies born in the US that year were anchor babies who would not qualify for birthright citizenship if President Trump’s executive order is upheld by the Supreme Court.
“Under the current erroneous birthright citizenship interpretation, these children automatically become citizens and unlock food stamps, welfare, specialized schooling for English education, and eventually college aid,” Brandy Perez Carbaugh of the Heritage Foundation told The Post.
Of those 320,000, the center said 245,000 were born to parents who were illegal immigrants.
Another 15,000 babies were born to mothers who had temporary legal status, while the fathers were not citizens or lawful permanent residents.
The remaining 60,000 were born to illegal alien mothers while the child’s father was a citizen or lawful permanent resident.

The NFL is not reviewing the conduct of New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel in the wake of photos taken of him with journalist Dianna Russini, league spokesman Brian McCarthy told ESPN.
McCarthy said that the league would not be reviewing whether Vrabel violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy, which states that players, coaches and executives must not engage in “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in” the NFL.
