Apparently we here in the US have the world's most skittish cops, who are frightened of every twitch and shadow that they see. Here's an idea: if you are constantly afraid for your life, maybe being a cop isn't for you. Maybe you should try something a little more low key, like being a meter minder; empty cars rarely…

What just floors me- and it shouldn’t, I should be used to it, but it does, is that there are two instant reactions I see from a certain group of people whenever these tragedies happen:

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with monetizing college football. The corrupting influence is that it takes place under the guise of “amateurism,” and the notion it’s anything but a big business. Under this aegis, universities ruthlessly exploit the students that play under their banner, without appropriate care…

Football programs, at least in the top tier of Division 1 are perfectly sustainable if they wanted to be.

so guys that HAVE played for Harrington think he’s not so good.

My current home state, Maryland, would be way at the bottom. Given Maryland drivers, we would all die commuting to the invasion.

South Park made Timmy and Jimmy peers of the main characters. They are not defined by their disabilities, and are annoyed at those who try talk down to them. Jimmy was the hero of a recent season, in which he stands up for freedom of the press at a time when a cowardly town could have cared less.

Zambillion Little Pieces.

There’s an interesting article by Josh Levin on Slate about KD to warriors:

It’s only worse if Durant goes on stage with Drake and Jerry West and Ayesha Curry and starts “Not one, not two, not three...”. Durant didn’t host a one-hour special with kids as props, so he’s automatically two moves ahead.

Also, he gives plenty of balls away? I don’t want a ball that you caught, I want one that I caught. It’s not the same thing, not in my book anyway...

Yeah, disagree. Have you ever really looked into how the administration of European Union works? It’s a mess. If you’ve noticed, the prosperous Scandinavian countries have always kept it at arms length, and now Britain will too. The EU is a 1948 Packard in a Tesla world. You do realize they move the entire European…

Well, owning a car greatly increases my odds of being injured or killed by a traffic accident. It’s about responsibility in using an object, not the object itself. I can wipe out myself and plenty of others with my car (not a Mustang, by the way) if I choose to, but I use it as properly as I can.

Keeping a loaded,…

So a dead guy comes back to life once he lands in a city called Phoenix, but somehow Christianity deserves the credit? Bullshit.

I dunno, just like the oil companies have learned they need to invest in the inevitable non-fossil fuel energy sources, I’m sure they’ll adapt.

The problem ultimately is that we are a heterogeneous society that really can’t be homogenized, lest we all kill each other down to a handful of people. But people want a homogenized society.

Amen. While I’m hopeful that people will be able to see beyond the rhetoric of the campaign season in time buy putting themselves in their own future-shoes, that’s a real possibility.

As far as I can tell they also teach them that any interaction could instantly escalate into a deadly gun battle, so if you want to ever see your wife and kids again you have to get the jump on the bad guys (everyone who’s not a cop) and go in screaming and shooting from the start.

It ranges from Great Britain paying billions more per year in to the EU than receiving back, to lack of security within the EU, to the people of Great Britain feeling like their government had too little control over policy.

Lebron wouldnt have been able to guard centers in the 90s, anyway. There were 5-10 guys in the NBA at all times better than any one center right now.
