Are you sure you don’t mean Artie Lange?

I’m in Scotland for the next two months for work and have just learned about pizza crunch:

Yep, just caught up on 18 & 19 last night, and 20 can’t get here soon enough!

I voted for Bernie in 2016 and had planned to do so again, but Liz is really winning me over right now. Given the (completely ridiculous) backlash against Bernie by moderate Libs and Clinton-lovers in the party, I think Warren would is an ideal compromise and great candidate to put up against Trump. I wish she had…

You’re giving the electorate too much credit. They won’t turn from Trump; they’ll blame the higher prices on immigrants and Democrats.

From what I’ve heard, that sounds right, but I only ever watched the first two seasons of Dexter.

Same with regard to how deflating this half-assed season has been. Really going back to season 7, even. This is just a shell of the show it once was and has been getting steadily worse since they passed the books and it became clear they didn’t really care to be doing this anymore. I just read these spoilers and am…

They still employ Trevor Bauer, so there you go

Look, I get it and should have been clearer in my post. All I meant was that 9/11 was particularly shocking because it happened in the US during relative peacetime and was broadcast live to the world and thousands of people were killed. Was never my intention to diminish atrocities and tragedies that happen all…

I’ve clarified in other replies in this thread. I get it.

This was about God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch, not the National Anthem. The post specifically states the Yankees started this “tradition” after 9/11 and never stopped until now.

Your edit speaks to my point. I only meant that 9/11 was a uniquely shocking event because 1) it happened in the US, 2) It was basically broadcast live to the world, and 3) Thousands of people died.

I get that shitty stuff happens in countries ALL the time, and a lot of it is because of the US and our government’s…

The 9/11 comment was meant to convey the uniquely public and shocking nature of the specific event itself. OBVIOUSLY, there is pain and human suffering on a scale far surpassing that experienced in the US in many countries, largely caused by the US and it’s imperialist endeavors. We just have a thinner skin that…

No other country ever had a 9/11, either. But yeah, for real, it’s time to move past this jingoistic, bumper sticker “patriotism”. It started the day after and then never really went away. We can honor and remember the victims without injecting this kind of shit into every bit of American culture.

“The Yankees take social, racial and cultural insensitivities very seriously.”

And then voters answer that question by continuing to elect members of the GOP to public office, even after they do the things that voters asked them not to do, because they support guns or hate abortion or whatever.

It’s insane and I don’t know how it ever gets fixed.

I’ll agree with any ranking that lists Hardhome at #1 because it’s the only right answer. It’s The Empire Strikes Back of episodes.

Same for me. It’s the in the top-half of my own MCU ranking, and it’s easily my favorite Iron Man solo film. I thought the Mandarin twist was brilliant and hilarious, and I love the Shane Black-ness of it all (the RDJ voiceover, aforementioned Lethal Weapon vibe, funny dialogue, and Christmastime setting).

I think their mainstream news programs (Morning Edition and All Things Considered) are mostly trash, but the syndicated programs they put out do a better job of capturing reality with a lot of their panel discussions.
