It sucks when teams with asshole fans have such likable players. Really puts you in a tough spot.

“Sen. Feinstein, who led the Senate Intel torture report, has kind words for Trump’s pick to be CIA director, Gina Haspel. ‘We’ve had a long personal talk,’ she said about the Bush-era programs. ‘Everything I know is that she has been a good deputy director of the CIA.’”

She is getting primaried by Kevin de Leon (and 10 other Dems of varying legitimacy), which is why she didn’t win the CA Dem endorsement.

We didn’t allow that defense when actual Nazis tried it post-WWII. I’m sure as shit not taking it now. If waterboarding is torture (for the sake of argument, if it’s not then it’s near as makes no difference) then she oversaw a program that tortured people. This should be anathema to everything America says it holds…

Another reminder that the US never made enough room for passenger rail when it built the Interstate Highway system. Amtrak runs on freight train-owned tracks outside of the California coast and Northeast Corridor. So every few years, this happens. I support public transportation. I like Dick Nixon’s railroad. But…

They do seem a little off track.

I will promote Gizmodo to my 110 followers in exchange for staying out of the gray.

It’ s not just the videos. Load the site without an adblocker and it’s fucking horrendous. The normal empty whiteness is encased in shit. My blocker is currently showing 31 blocked ads.

Yep. My cousins went there when the Superbowl was held (ironically it featured the Patriots defeating the Eagles and repeating). He said there was absolutely nothing to do, had to drive damn near to Orlando for lodging (Jacksonville doesn’t have enough hotel rooms - that’s when the NFL thought it was a good idea to…

This isn’t the first time a hard “R” has gotten a white guy in trouble.

Holy crap! Is that what people are currently dealing with?

The low gravity is really only helpful if you are building stuff on the Moon. If you just have to launch stuff from Earth, and then relaunch from the Moon, that’s not of any value. The Moon is not a sensible stepping stone to anywhere (aside from testing out some of the tech required for other places). There’s not…

I’m pretty sure putting nukes on the moon would be a violation of at least one treaty prohibiting the militarization of space, which is how we avoided both nuke bearing satellites floating overhead and Reagan’s Star Wars program (aside from the bonkers costs of 1980's lasers in space). But really satellites would be…

As for the demographic, Target’s focus on mom’s is central to Amazon’s approach to win wallet share. Amazon has, over the years, aggressively pursued mom’s through promotions around Prime along with loading Prime Video with kid-friendly content.

One store does not represent all of retail. I agree BB&B is a horrible customer experience with crap everywhere and nearly impossible to navigate, but that’s not what every store is like.

The answer is both simple and obvious: Alabama. Didn’t win their conference, didn’t even win their division, didn’t have to play an extra game against a high-quality opponent. If you’re only going to have a four-team playoff, you have to treat conference championship games as the defacto first round, and conference…

I think an expansion of the playoff needs to be offset by one fewer regular season game -- you’d basically be rewarding the best unpaid football players with an additional opportunity to have a career-ending injury.

Oh it gets worse. You had Ozzie Newsome (Superbowl winning GM), Scott Pioli (another one), Thomas Dimitroff (another one), George Kokinis (won Superbowl with Ravens as executive), Kirk Ferentz (college coach), Pat Hill (another one), Jim Schwartz (Superbowl winning coordinator), Eric Mangini (another one), Al Groh…

Realistically, Alabama is almost certainly better than Georgia, but it would be hard for the committee to justify leaving the SEC champ out in favor a of a different conference champ.

Let’s all look at the dumb guy again.
