I’m not staunchly defending Apple or any other manufacturer removing the headphone jack, but if you had a time machine and fast forwarded 20 years, you sure as shit wouldn’t find a 3.5mm headphone jack on the current tech. 

“Boy, you and your dead husband sure did fuck a lot, huh? Anyways, here’s a Presidential Medal of Freedom.”

Senator, don’t quit your day job...checks notes and sees she’s a US senator...on second thought, quit your day job.

The main gripe is they didn’t support he before she won her primary, which is true. That’s because they said they weren’t supporting specific Democrats until after the primaries, though they did talk a lot of shit about Andrew Cuomo.

And let’s not forget, these idiot white guys helped get a black guy elected President of a country that is clearly racist as shit twice. All those eloquent speeches that drew so many people to Obama? Favreau was his chief speechwriter. These guys are successful because they’re pretty good at what they do.

Agreed, it comes across as a piece he was waiting to write and jumped at the first opportunity to connect them to something bad and shit on them.

An apparently old saying that is suddenly in favor: “The Right looks for converts, the Left looks for traitors.”  Welcome to Splinter.

Yeah this feels like Nick patting himself on the back for being Woker. Don’t worry, lil guy, one day you might have a podcast of your own that we could all trash and ignore too.

Its kind of odd that a bland white opinion guy that has shared some pretty fucking dumb bland white opinions lately (see his article on voting) has such a problem with supposed guys like this.

Let’s be honest, if you are going to siphon off any more white educated voters, it’s probably going to be through these guys.  I’m not a fan of the conservative Democrats but these guys aren’t it.  They’re Center-left politics bros.  Not particularly inspiring (except maybe Jon Lovett), but useful.

I mean, not only did they support Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but they had her on their pod.

I just don’t get how we’re going to go directly to a solidly leftist Democratic party taking the White House and both chambers of Congress relying solely on urban and rural voters, completely bypassing the Orange County-type areas. It’s not the 1930's anymore, that doesn’t seem to be a workable coalition. Why ignore…

That’s a anecdotal and overly harsh take. I actually do know people who listen, and would include myself in that number. They are like the #2 or 3# political podcast on itunes, so there are people listening to be fair. HBO wouldn’t air a show if ‘no one’ was listening. It is an entertaining show, with really great…

And (as I wrote in far too long of a post), it really doesn’t matter. Maybe if all our progressive dreams come true, in 25 or 50 years, we can start to have the argument about whether we think “capitalism” ought to continue to be the dominant arrangement for how factors of production should be allowed to operate to…

All of those seemed like fine calls to me? It looked like, in all three cases, the defender lowered himself down so that he was leading with the helmet. The 3rd one is the closest. 

“I think a lot of it is people not understanding the significance of the little things that are incredibly hard to do”

So this is a completed pass and a fumble out of bounds in your eyes?

Adding a bunch of extra requirements to make it a catch is illogical.

Votto, Thomas, Bonds, Williams and Mantle are the only guys in the top 20 all time OBP ranking that played after 1950, Votto being ahead of both Mantle and Thomas. Its astonishing how good he is.

Shared this in another article, but was in Milwaukee over the weekend and caught a couple of the Reds-Brewers games. My friend remarked that Votto is 12th all time in OBP. Only two players with higher OBP aren’t in the Hall of Fame. Barry Bonds and a guy who played 8 seasons in the 1890s. Votto feels criminal…
