Early post Franco was a shit show! My grandfather had a heart attack on vacation there and the government wouldn’t authorize my family to fly him out to Germany for treatment even when my aunt had chartered a private medical plane that was waiting in France. I was told they didn’t want to seem incompetent in their…

Yes, common sense would dictate that the Democrats would relent on voter IDs in return for republicans relenting on early voting, Sunday voting attacks and it would be easier for everyone to vote. The sad reality is that it is a great fundraising tool for both sides and neither wants to give up control for fear of…

Don’t worry. It’s been corrected. Next year they’ll make sure there isn’t a single LPGA post to scroll past.

That’s...not true. But it was short lived so I get where you are coming from. This is literally my job. In real life.

Donald Trump be shamed and accept responsibility for something? Heck no! He will point out that democrats and their “activist judges” have stymied his attempts to regulate immigration and secure the border and blame it entirely on them. To many Americans, this will work.

It’s almost like you can do both. It’s beyond argument at this point that children benefit from observing people similar to them in disparate professional and social roles. I agree, it’s good to take your daughter to work. But also to sports. And to women excelling in all sorts of fields.

How short of a distance though? Does anyone stop for water for anything less than 10+ miles? And any more than that, it’s too much water to carry. The rest of the advice is good, but I don’t think hardly anyone would improve from lugging extra weight for minor hydration savings.

You’d be amazed what one little terrorist attack or something similar can do for flagging numbers. Remember his only real popularity boost so far? When he dropped 59 missiles on Syria.

Yes! Hourly WNBA updates. Think of the increased web traffic!

“As a dad with a daughter”. Way to see you really go above and beyond for her, sport. I’d hate to waste two hours of my life empowering my very own flesh and blood.

I agree with you as to the original meaning for the protection of firearm ownership - to protect against a tyrannical government. But I disagree that it is no longer useful. It would be political suicide for whoever first attempted to take away guns as there would be mass revolt. That alone makes them still useful as…

Exactly! Perfectly fine places, but not any real wow factor for a vacation in my opinion.

Yeah, I wasn’t hating really. I actually went to undergrad in Raleigh and like the town a lot. I still split my time between there and D.C. for work. I visit a good friend in Philly a few times a year and it’s okay, but there are a lot of better cities not that far away. Neither are places I would quickly think about…

Philly and Raleigh. What perfectly depressing places to spend a vacation weekend and $3k. Although perfectly respectable places otherwise.

High school me would, unfortunately, have no understanding of how hard it is for trans people, but would be totally psyched about sharing a floor with girls.

Well, doesn’t every Democratic presidential candidate run on the platform to restrict gun rights and access?

To be fair to gun nuts, even Gizmodo’s own foxtrot alpha blog concedes that having 300+ million firearms in the US general population would make mainland US invasion alsmost impossibly deadly for any invading force. Of course the government has Predator drones, but that doesn’t stop insurgency in urban environments in…

Good for them for sticking together I guess. Having not been a twin, I can’t speak to that bond. But a part of me says damn y’all could have just busted into 4 Ivy legacy programs for your future generations. But Yale isn’t too shabby by itself and I’m guessing this crew will build a pretty good endowment for those…

I think you’re right that, on the other article, the age-related poster was just being a troll, but I think they bring up an underlying point even if accidentally. There seems to be something insidious about having to infantilize black men to make them palatable or sympathetic victims. This 15 year old boy didn’t…

No, that means he has no work cut out for him unfortunately. Haha. With the Dems such a relegated minority party in Alabama, the Reps don’t really have to engage them on much.
