It is the early 2000s and you are the president of the United States, and in a bunker-like room plastered with video monitors, you must decide whether to invade Iraq. Grim faces appear on the monitors, warning of the wisdom or folly of doing nothing. If that's not enough pressure, a drumbeat soundtrack accompanies a countdown clock.

It has come to my attention, through several news articles, including one on boredteachers.com, that a good number of Mississippi hospitals are financially distressed. Despite not knowing whether they'll still have a job in the near future, many dedicated healthcare professionals go about their work unfazed.

The Sacramento Kings are likely gearing up for a busy 2026 offseason, giving general manager Scott Perry a significant test. The Kings hired Perry shortly after their 2024-25 season ended, but he spent his limited 2025 offseason getting a feel of the franchise and the players he holds control over. Now, Perry is getting ready for his first full offseason in Sacramento, which will give the franchise and fanbase an idea of how the rest of his tenure will go.
