Teens are Training to Drive Semis
There’s at least one high school in California offering students a course in driving big rigs.

I don’t know why they’re upset, we’d have no problem sending them to the NBA…..or war.

NFL May Give St. Louis An Expansion Team If They Lose St. Louis Relocation Lawsuit
The businesses of St. Louis are suing the NFL for taking the Rams from them and the NFL is trying to move the case from the St. Louis area, if they lose, the NFL will be out a giant sum of money. One option they have if they lose is, they can offer an expansion team to the city. The St. Louis Football Team has a great ring to it.
If the NFL loses this challenge, they face a real scenario where St. Louis jurors could award BILLIONS in damages.
As @WallachLegal and I discussed on @ConDetrimental, this could open a scenario where the NFL negotiates an expansion franchise instead of paying the full amount. pic.twitter.com/8XPned591C

First Musical Guest to Perform Nude on SNL?
According to reports there’s a new naked cowboy in town. Sources say SNL musical guest Kacey Musgraves performed butt nekkid- wearing nothing but a guitar and cowboy boots, making her even less dressed than the famous Times Square tourist draw who wears briefs when he performs. Audience members say that Kacey was shielded from the live audience by a temporary wall when she walked on and off the stage to conceal her more private parts.
If a tree falls in the woods and there’s a wall there……no-one cares.

Squid Games Subtitles are Garbage
A Korean language speaking TikTokker has blown the lid off Squid Games subtitles. According to her, the Netflix hit series is mistranslating the show by a wide margin.
Subtlety doesn’t seem to be the point of the show, does it.
@youngmimayer #squidgame translations are sooo wrong here’s a little example
STUDIES, SURVEYS, RANKINGS
