Also a fair point.

Others have mentioned the pragmatic negotiating table problems with such a demand, but I’ll add one more: to actually fix this problem, doctors would have to be paid by the players’ union itself. The league has even less incentive to keep injured players off the field than individual teams do (“Eyes on the worlds TVs…

One item I didn’t see linked but that I hope you might have seen re: Mayor Pete is this excellent piece from way back in March comparing and contrasting the airy wonderfulness he writes about in his book and the actual effect of his administration on the city of South Bend (among other things). It’s an excellent read…

Here, this is for you.  Enjoy!

I fucking hate Connecticut but will happily spend an hour in line for a white clam and bacon pie in New Haven, in the unfortunate event that I happen to be driving through it.

Holy shit, Kirk Douglas is still alive!  I had no idea.

Really, really pleased to learn that this guy is not the source of the military verb “cashier” (meaning to kick someone out of the service in disgrace).

Would violence break out? Almost certainly.

You just won the Stanley Cup (congratulations! That half season, and that Final series, is every sports fan’s dream), that football team isn’t even there anymore, and you’re still bitching about something that didn’t actually happen, in a thread about a totally different sport? Why don’t you go enjoy yourself, for a…

GM recently closing plants in…

I think I would be safer lanesplitting a motorcycle at 30 mph above ambient traffic than I would be riding in this thing on any surface whatsoever.

It was unavailable to I?  

...was this what you were after?

Don’t worry, they didn’t forget.

In the annals of modern engineering, mankind has achieved one stunning feat after the next.

Everything Kevin wrote about mayo is correct.

She didn’t body-shame him! Kevin’s entire argument was a gigantic straw man! I loooooooove me some mayo, but that should make him lose by default, even if German potato salad weren’t definitely the better kind. I notice most people don’t tell you to put scallions in it along with the bacon, though, and scallions are…

That’s not what my problem is.

I stopped after the first 1,000 or so because I’m at work. But sheee-it.
