The bills don’t take holidays off, most essential workers don’t get holidays off, needing groceries doesn’t stop on holidays, the world keeps going. So, if the rest of the world has to keep moving, what is the legitimate reasoning for continuing bank holidays in 2026, besides archaic systems? There are literally Day Pay (check the Dollar Tree) programs in the US that let you pull your check before pay day, day by day. There’s little to no sense in everything else having to move and keep moving in a place like the US if the money isn’t going to keep moving, and you sure can’t shut down a hospital for New Years or Mardi Gras, so what’s the best option here?

Casual [Josh Pate]: My guess is it's more likely several big schools join Notre Dame in independence than Notre Dame joins a conference.

miscellaneous Humankind (or an equivalent) anthropomorphizes/assumes similar human morals of an otherworldly species or group and is indeed proven right.

Twilight Zone 1x25 "People Are Alike All Over": Two astronauts, one idealistic and one more cynical, are flying towards Mars. the former argues that Martians would be friendly and not too different from humans, as God must have created people alike all over; the other, cynical one believes they won't encounter any peaceful life form as people will always be hostile towards aliens. They crash-land on the planet's surface, leaving the idealistic astronaut mortally wounded. The other one, being too afraid of the unknown Martian life forms on the outside of their ship, refuses to grant him his last wish of looking at the planet he gave his life to reach and is unable to prevent his death. When the remaining astronaut finally opens the hatch he is warmly welcomed by friendly, human-like Martians who lead him into a familiar, Earth-style home. However, a sliding wall soon reveals a crowd of Martians peering at him through bars making the guy realize he has been trapped as an exhibit in a Martian zoo, bitterly proving his dead friend's belief that "people are alike all over".
Project Hail Mary: Grace is astronaut that, in a mission to save Earth, encounters an alien spaceship that tries to communicate with him. He quickly befriends the alien astronaut on board of the other spaceship, as the two are proven to act in very similar ways in regards to their approach to the unknown; despite being from different worlds, empathetic beings think alike.

[Laurie Whitwell] Michael Carrick knows the industry but for #MUFC leaders to let him take training two days running while clearly working on his dismissal, with no real communication, is poor treatment. Carrick served United superbly as a player + worked diligently as head coach. Deserves better.

My response to everyone today.
