Fuck this shit. Ice cream cake is gross and comes with even grosser gel icing. Puke.

Old friend Jia just wrote this same thing.

You don’t have to cut what doesn’t grow.

Same. I think, or at least really hope, that he likes being in Baltimore and is committed to winning there. And they should pay him whatever he wants.

*Iowa in the play-in game. In overtime.

He also lost several games down the stretch, barely squeaked into the dance, and then made it to the Sweet 16 because Mercer took care of Duke. For all the talent he brought in, there was a sense he underutilized it.

Yeah, that’s my take. The gear is a “fuck you” to Snyder, and I fully support that.

I’ve always thought that ratings are less a reaction to the chosen host than to the films being nominated. The Best Picture nominees were all very blah this year.

This is way more akin to the classics you described. Very much on the Kubrickian end of the Horror spectrum.

My first exposure to Bill Paxton as a kid was Apollo 13. And even there, playing a goddamn ASTRONAUT, he’s a doofus. He blows chunks 3 minutes into space, dicks around with the camera while broadcasting to Houston, and generally gives off a “why is he here but I’m glad he is” vibe. RIP.

Yeah, you can see them both during the frantic last 5 minutes or so.

The other team couldn’t enter the prison to defend, but could knock your ball out of the air with another one. You could attack once you returned to…

Holy shit, just heard Ronnie, Talk to Russia for the first time today. Weird!

I miss Leon Sandcastle.

I was able to take enough AP classes at my public school to earn a semester of college credit. So when I got suspended in the spring of Junior year for smoking weed in campus housing, I still returned my senior year and graduated on time!

Besty Devos will be a grate Sceritary of Edacashun!

Those of us in Kentucky know the Bowling Green Massacre was when a sinkhole opened up in the Corvette Museum and swallowed up a bunch of cars.

Step 1: Say something absurd, like making up a terrorist attack that didn’t happen.
Step 2: Step back and let the media call it out.
Step 3: Say you “misspoke.”
Step 4: Attack the media for being unfair, further discrediting journalist in the eyes of your supporters.

I did acknowledge that it my message. I didn’t vote for him. Like I said, I don’t think he’s the swing vote we’re looking for. But it feels better than doing nothing.
