why does baseball seem so much more romantic than hockey to me maybe it’s because they do it in the sun

Rio Foster was a passenger in a drunk driving accident in September. To this day he can't walk, eat on his own, or hold a normal conversation. The Angels have not committed to keeping Rio insured. His family needs the coverage, and lots of help. Read: nytimes.com/athletic/6967885…

📢💉Novavax (Nuvaxovid) availability update for: Friday, September 26th, 2025 What’s new today: • There is now widespread availability at most chains nationwide. • We have confirmation that Sanofi will be releasing a product locator, which will reportedly be going live late next week. Link: Nuvaxovid.com/product-locato… • To keep information in 1 post, I’m moving to state reports rather than cities. If you have questions about a specific area, please feel free to ask and I’ll let you know if I’ve heard anything. A few things to remember: 1. It’s always best practice to both verbally and visually confirm that you’re actually receiving Novavax. 2. The product is now more commonly being referred to as “Nuvaxovid”, following Novavax’s BLA approval in May. Most will continue to use the names interchangeably, but make sure that your pharmacy is not confused by the two (or by the similarity to Moderna’s “Spikevax”). 3. If you’re checking for availability, especially in an area where Nuvaxovid has been reported, politely ask if they’re willing to check the fridge for stock, as it can sometimes go “unnoticed” by pharmacy techs. 4. If it’s not available yet, try again in a few days, even if they say they’re not expecting to receive any. Purchasing decisions at chains are made by corporate executives, and store employees are routinely left out of the loop until shipments actually arrive. 5. Continue asking pharmacies to place Nuvaxovid orders. Especially independent ones, but chains as well, where stores can hopefully send your request up the chain even if they cannot directly place orders. Publix: Available at most/all locations in VA, TN, AL, KY, NC, SC, and FL. GA locations are still requiring a prescription for now. Nuvaxovid is available to select on the online scheduler. CVS: Broadly rolling out. Nuvaxovid is not yet available to select on the online scheduler. Reported availability in these states: NJ, TX, IN, CA, WA, AZ, KS, OH, NY, MI, MA, CT, RI, PA, MN, MD, NC, MO. Costco: Broadly rolling out. Officially, Nuvaxovid is listed as “coming soon” on the main vaccines page, but some have reported success booking a specific appointment further along in the online process. If you don’t have that option yet, you can still call your local store to check. Reported availability in these states: CT, MA, PA, MI, MN, MS, VT, IA, NE, NJ, NY, IL, CA, TX, KS, OH, CO, IN, VA, ME Cub Foods (Minnesota): Available at most/all of their 106 locations. Walmart: Broadly rolling out. Nuvaxovid is not yet available to select on the online scheduler. Reported availability in these states: CA, WA, OR, NM, CO, AZ, ID, PA, WI, OH Kroger and Subsidiaries: Broadly rolling out. Reported availability in these states: MI, OH, AL, TX • King Soopers in CO • Most Mariano’s locations in IL • Ralphs in CA • QFC in WA • Most Harris Teeter locations in DC, MD, CA • Fred Meyer in OR, WA, and ID • Smith’s Food and Drug in AZ • Bakers Supermarkets in NE Meijer: Starting to roll out. Reported availability in these states: MI Albertsons and subsidiaries Starting to roll out. Reported availability in these states: ID • Acme locations in NJ. • Jewel-Osco locations in IL. Walgreens: Finally starting to roll out, albeit very limited. It’s probably a safe bet to say that Walgreens doesn’t plan on caring Nuvaxovid quite as widely as chains. But, there has been reported availability in Goleta and Ventura County, CA.

Had a friend inside HBO at the time and apparently the entire 'Max' branding was one powerful exec who thought it would be a great idea contra every single piece of internal research. Just one singular guy on a power trip.
