We push for automatic registration at age 18 and vote by mail, which would increase turnout to the levels seen in the other wealthy democracies, who do not require their citizens to take a day off of work to travel somewhere to stand in line to vote, and make us more immune to fraud and hacking. Higher voter turnout…

I have a traumatic brain injury because I responded to someone saying there’s nothing new here by saying what was new here? Fuck off.

There’s always been batshit insane randos who run for office. This is the first time one of them has had a significant amount in common with the president.

There’s a Liz Phair song called 6'1" about the things you wish you could say to the men who make you feel like shit about yourself, about how in her mind, she’s “standing 6'1" instead of 5'2.” And I loved my life, and I hated you.”

What’s new is concrete evidence in writing that can’t be dismissed as a joke.

One reason I love my roommate is he went to uni in Glasgow, woke up in his dorm with snow on his bed one morning from a window blowing open, and loved it. We both leave our bedroom windows cracked at night in all but sub-freezing weather, and don’t turn the heat on unless it’s <2o degrees outside, because it’s steam,…

Is that a nifty sci-fi/horror reference I’m not getting? Because I’m just making a face lift joke.

I don’t do live broadcasts, I mainly just do highlights and clip shows with talking heads, where the names need to be right for SEO. No one’s searching for the live games by player name, though, so while the computer-generated ones suck for hearing-impaired people watching in the moment who are also humor-impaired,…

Not one of ours, we don’t use double chevrons before speaker IDs, and QA would take one look at that and Google. That’s hilarious.

Ssh, that’s just supposed to be subtext, not text.

Rosanne Connor was getting addicted to opoids, so have her OD. Why? Because representation matters. No really, hear me out.

Really? You don’t think the leftists who refuse to vote for the “lesser of two evils” because they are laboring under the misbegotten assumption that their vote is about expressing their personal identity rather than doing the most good for the most people had something to do with it?

Yep. I am such a bad golfer that I can be by myself and a foursome might ask to play through. So I let them hit their tee shots, and then I hit mine, and then they head towards the distant green and I head for the near rough.

Computers do the first pass, and people clean it up, depending on what it is. Not every content producer pays contractors to do that, settling for the computer-generated captions. But when there’s a lot of background noise, like there is in sports, the computers can’t do it, nor do they know how to spell names even if…

I have occasionally wondered if the white players in the league get paid more than all the black players put together. I’ll bet they do.

It’s totally a political act. Google the history of playing the anthem at games.

Yeah, if you find yourself waiting behind someone more than a couple minutes on more than a couple holes, you just ask if you can play through. Solo golfers and pairs play through groups all the time.

Tell me about it. I got demoted to the greys on Jez after I rewrote their science and health articles in the comments too many times, so I retreated the nerdier comment sections.

I have to caption that show sometimes, and I fucking hate it. It’s almost as bad as captioning Andre the Giant.

My roommate’s been planning to go out to the Eagle Creek burn as soon as he can. I will taste his first.
