So Le Batard spent the last couple days making calls and lining up a new gig, right? The question is, does he go and do one more show to get it all out on the table, or just transition to the new outfit? Because he seems publicly committed to the right thing here, and I’m not sure if it’s possible for a person to work…

Come on, man. This is serious.

“Oh sure, he can call them savages, but when I do it...”

Man Roger Clemens must hold a special place in your heart

Any lost treasure in that thar mine?

It should be noted that the robots DO have spouses, but they know how to be self-controlled. 

Have you read the book Cryptonomicon? There’s a conversation in there along similar lines, where characters discuss whether or not to change code names if doing so would give more information.

In my head-canon, DOOM got snapped as well but overcame the dusting with pure will.

Or the Rodman theory, in which they move to North Korea.

Yeah that’s usually some nonsense that like Gawker Prime would get up to in the bad old days. Deadspin usually copped to mistakes without a ton of fuss.

Also one of the bloodiest battles of the Great War. Really terrible, that.

Holy crap. I was like “No, that can’t be right, surely it would be in the arti... well slap my momma, you’re right.”

It depends on the group. Some of it is just instinctual over-caution and concern about people throwing Nazi comparisons around. Doesn’t mean it was the right move, as in the JCRC-NY’s case for example, but you’d have a hard time calling them Trump supporters at an organizational level.

Also, Mike Godwin (of Godwin’s Law fame) has said that yes, they are concentration camps and it’s appropriate to call them that.

Yeah. The JCRC-NY’s is not in bad faith, but it was questionable and misguided. They are taking a bunch of flak for it (from myself included) and some of their member groups such as Workmen’s Circle are calling them out and distancing themselves from the statement. I’ve been after URJ to do the same, so here’s hoping.

Subs are usually called boats, unlike most other large vessels.

Or, conversely, people enjoy fun. And science is often long stretches of tedium followed by short bursts of excitement, so scientists also enjoy a bit of fun. And if the general internet-based public finds humor to be a pathway into awareness of scientific endeavors, well, that’s more than they had before. And so,…

I appreciate your thoughtful response to my tossed-off joke!

German twitter would like ein Wort mit dir.

Important Gary Cohen update: In the most delicate possible terms, Gary Cohen is in the middle of giving the umps a ton of shit about this and outright stating that they’re throwing a tantrum because it’s Machado rather than another player.
