An under the radar signing by the Washington Commanders during their busy free agency period was cornerback Michael Davis. Davis went undrafted back in 2017, catching on with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent, where he worked his way up the ladder into a starting cornerback. The 29-year-old Davis played eight seasons with the Chargers where at times he’s looked like one of the top press corners in the league and at other times he really struggles.
What Chelsea Need to Do This Summer
2024-12-02
Well, the result against Burnley just summed it up. Big change is needed at Chelsea this summer. I’ve personally had enough of results and performances we saw in that game and to me there needs to be some change. This is what I would do, not what I think will happen, or will happen. So bear with me, I’m going to go through the squad, coaching and sporting director positions here, as well as some other off pitch things I believe need to happen.
What comes after the attention economy?

It’s now really clear that AI is coming for a wide range of tasks for which we currently pay humans, particularly those in creative and white-collar fields. When I’m trying to understand where technology might take society, I try to channel my inner Herbert Simon.
Simon was a polymath, economist, philosopher, and computing pioneer. He wasn’t just really, really smart—he was good at good at seeing patterns others missed. If you’ve spent any time with me, you’re probably tired of hearing about him.
What Did I Know, and When Did I Know It?

I don’t intend to pursue further the controversy over Hyper-Pretersim (HP) brought to light by this letter signed by a number of Gary’s friends.
But I feel obliged to respond to Gary’s statement that he hasn’t changed his views in about 25 years, and that I have continued to promote him during that time, and only lately have I objected to his views. Have I just over the last few months become more severe in my judgment on heresy?

On May 30, 2017 I went to a bar to celebrate my then-roommate’s birthday with a few of her friends. We got drinks and oysters, which I don’t eat, but for some reason I guess I offered to put the whole thing on my card and have people Venmo me.

When you’re writing, in any genre, describe a thing you’re talking about. Allow the reader to see in her mind what you see in your mind. Work in concreteness (roses), not abstraction (love). Description and details—of scenery, of people, of props, of the built environment, of the landscape—labor night and day on your behalf. Let description do its job.
I have heard said, of sketching: The better you see, the better you draw.
This is designed to be a thought-terminating cliche, not an actual argument you can counter. The men you are talking to, as you correctly identified, feel threatened. So they want to shut down the discussion by depicting you as hysterical, out of control, and angry.
The argument rests on two ridiculous ideas: that it is always wrong to have any animosity toward men, and that anyone who suggests any man or men should change necessarily hates men.
What does mean? Well...

That moment you’re left speechless, confused, unsettled. Unsure what you just saw, unsure what to do next. But there’s no denying what happened. It is what it is.
The eye mouth eye emoji set is a modern ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for more trying times, devoid of the same gleeful acquiescence. 😑 is too resigned and sour. 👁👄👁 means you feel helpless amidst the chaotic realities unfolding around us, but there is no escape.
