Is there any indication they’re doing an entire pod a day? Looks to me like a teeny tiny device with sky-high nicotine levels, as a trade-off for a smaller device. I would think the idea would be to use it much less frequently.

It leaves open the possibility of smokers who want to switch to vaping, i.e., the best rationale for vaping.

Nice looking vehicle. I’ll never understand how Americans have been persuaded to buy fleets of wasteful, silly looking mini-trucks because they’re somehow “cooler” than wagons or minivans that work better as actual vehicles.

This is all good discussion, but every time I see the angle of “The response to the recent tragedy doesn’t sufficiently address x population’s concerns on a related problem as a distinct issue,” I wonder if we aren’t shooting ourselves in the foot by not emphasizing the OVERLAPPING American cultural malfunctions like…

“wishful thinking, or some denial of some horrible reality”

This is a fine piece of work. I hope it gets out there and does some public good. Well done.

Yes, enough already with this crap. Whether it’s a factory or a stadium

Fun fact: A main reason why the disgusting, inhumane practice of greyhound racing still exists in Florida is that for decades it has been “tethered” to gambling houses, and Disney, which gives marching orders to both parties (but especially Republicans, obvs) doesn’t want that to end, because *gambling* (as opposed to…

ARE THOSE THE RACIST COOKIES? YOU CAN’T USE RACIST COOKIES IN YOGURT! Ice cream, maaaaybe.

As so-called “Western Civilization” drew to nearer its demise, many ignored what in retrospect were obvious signs of the impending collapse. A rejection of science. An increasing contempt for fact-based, reasoned debate. An explosion of corporate greed. Near the end, “drinking and axe-throwing” had become a popular…

I enjoyed his recent interrogation of an Amazon Echo. Pretty sure Alexa got the better of him though.

The Germans with the fabulous Benzes have the kind of socialism Bernie Sanders is advocating, by the way.

Well the fashy haircut and tactical shades worn indoors don’t play to a stereotype at all.

My new plan:

Centrist Dems make precisely the same argument to progressives:

I once (well, twice) had a nice set of wheels coveted by Honda enthusiasts — Volk’s venerated Te-37s. The second set were gunmetal 17"s I obtained from Ebay at a reasonable price and put on my then-new Acura RSX-S. I was so cool.

Did the thieves let all the women out of the basement(s)? Did he report any stolen?

Feels like Spacey’s day has been long coming, and there was zero room for speculation once someone called him out in public. Like Weinstein, a lot of people were waiting for it to be said out loud. And as an actor, even a good one, he didn’t have the kind of clout Weinstein or even arguably Louis C.K. have. He wasn’t…

So Joy Ann Reid calling everyone from Sanders to Stein “Soviets” (because she apparently thought the Soviet Union was still a thing in 2016?) to the extent they failed to carry enough Hillary water, and gay-baiting Charlie Crist for however long and all her other crazy ass drunken Twitter smearing is fine, as is…

It’s a very Werner Herzog Christmas!
