You’re right, I misremembered it as north because of the way I-95 travels.

On the one hand, I’m not surprised, being somewhat familiar with Harford. On the other hand, I think the only reason we don’t hear about it more from, like, Cecil County (north of Harford) is there are no people there to report it.

Nothing this guy likes more than trying to sicc law enforcement on his favorite targets.

Hey at least Trey Mancini had a bobblehead! (I am looking at it now, it’s on my desk... staring. Judging. Waiting.)

And also a significant savings for healthcare providers, who can repurpose money currently spent on front-office staff/medical billers. 

What kills me is their editor spent a year+ working at TPM and apparently absorbed nothing at all from that experience.

In truth, it wasn’t that bad. I was trying to get across that we will take him seriously when he says something hurts (or that someone did something to him, etc.) But also that he needs to not be full of shit when he reports such a thing.

The baby was already asleep and my wife was too exasperated by all of us to try to talk me down from this lunacy.

In a world where your toddler will just promiscuously hook up with the first toothbrush they find laying around. You learn to get real paranoid.

“Because I said so” went out the window for those of us who were raised by former civil rights activists. People that were willing to go to the wall to fight against some stupid-ass arbitrary rules felt really weird busting out “Because I said so” on their kids, and now I feel weird busting it out on my kid.

I’m not pointing any fingers, but the failure of the commentariat to recognize this joke for the brilliant genus-based pun that it is, is surely an indictment of our entire society.

In fairness, the driver of that car had been hitting the wild turkey pretty hard before getting on the road.

Despite the disruption, this was a cathartic experience for everyone.

I don’t think he can really make a deep run at the title, but “Truman Peyote” is the rap name I never knew I missed out on.

Yeah, I’ve known a few Israelis named Nimrod. “Shmul” is also a Hebrew name, though I see it more often as a first name.

I realize I’m woefully late on this but I just discovered Archive 81. It’s pretty good! I was introduced to it by way of an appearance by Oscar Rios (an RPG writer for Call of Cthulhu), who appeared on another podcast I’m a big of, the Miskatonic University Podcast!

Which, alas, didn’t keep io9 from being buried under the Gizmodo vertical... 

So you're saying there's now a precedent for when Yeshiva U is a cinderella and can't play Saturday tourney games?
