Former QB exposes NFC East team following latest blockbuster trade
Former QB and ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III believes actions speak louder than words. There are several teams every year that state they're going "all in" to win a Super Bowl, but only a portion of those teams do what it takes in the offseason to be a true contender. Griffin III thinks that the Houston Texans' latest blockbuster trade for Bills four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver proves they can contend for a Super Bowl next season. He also shared his thoughts on a team that has done nothing to …

Attached: 1 image The fucking Times. It follows up yesterday's awful poll with another. That they even asked this question is evidence of the bias--the agenda--in their poll. Who made age an "issue"? The credulous Times falling into the right-wing's projection. This is not journalism. Shameful.

I loathe Paul Tierney as much as anyone, but the "controversy" around the wrongful awarding of the drop ball after a head injury is some serious blame-shifting from a team who had possession a full two-minutes later and coughed up the ball at the edge of the box to even allow the game-winner.

How the tax industry is keeping automatic filing out of reach
In the unfair fight for automatic tax filing, Canadians need to get behind the underdog. While many of us might welcome and benefit from this service, it’s our vulnerable friends and neighbours who need it the most. We must come together to join the chorus calling for this crucial tax reform—and be louder than those motivated by nothing more than greed.

"The unusual project was born from worries over climate change and the sea level rise that will inevitably encroach on Alcatraz, where chunks of the perimeter wall are already eroding and falling into the bay. Scientists have warned that California could experience several feet of sea-level rise by the end of the century, along with ever more dangerous storm surges."

“For millennials and the younger generation Z and Alphas, who may never be able to afford to buy a home or retire at a reasonable age, there is a growing feeling online that hard work is fortifying a system that, at best, is giving them nothing back and, at worst, is actively screwing them over. […] The goal of a softer life is more time and energy for what makes you happy and as little time as possible focusing on what doesn’t.”
