oh my GOD this is still happening and i love it

Their defense mechanism is projectile vomiting, so these birds are A+ in my book

My favorite March Madness guy to remember is Drew Nicholas, if only because this shot immediately made him one of the top 3 most famous people to graduate from my small private school.

fun fact: not only does the electoral tend to give higher weight to the votes of those in less populous states, it also tends to dilute the weight of your vote if you live in a high turnout state! what a great idea to keep a system in place that tells floridians that even though their state has the same amount of EC…

Yeah, sure, blame Democrats for being the ones starting the conversation around altering the norms of the Supreme Court

This made me laugh wayyyyy more than I expected, great job Neil!!

fun fact: we could adjust our military budget to spending twice as much as the next country and free up nearly $307 billion dollars!  seems like we’d still be seen as pretty strong and powerful outspending our “competitors” 2 to 1 but maybe i don’t love killing people for resources as much as you do!

the first to be impeached, even!!!!

because of this word

yeah, let’s not do M4A it costs too much!!!11!!1!

BIG FUCKEN STOKE HELL YEAHHHHHH

I feel like this is a super-niche piece that most of the regulars at Splinter aren’t really going to get, but as someone who spent way too much of my youth and young adulthood in the punk scene, this hits home for me. Beto’s punk background was a cool fact about him at first, but when it keeps coming back up over and…

I only went to school for three semesters, but left without about $20K in loans from a private university.  I hid from those collectors for years, as my mother made the payments on the portions of the loans she had taken out.  She passed away in 2010, and once her life insurance paid out, I set about trying to erase…

WHITE IS NOT A FUCKING HERITAGE JESUS CHRIST

Fun fact:  if you look at the timeline for the reporter whose tweet is included here, you’ll see that it sounds like this game basically turned into one school holding the ball until they were fouled, taking the free throws, and the other school trying like hell to score quickly and foul again.  Plus, you’ll get the…

I think the hard part there is that coming into the 6th you’ve now had to take your Devon Travis/Bo Bichette/Lourdes Gurriel out of the game and you have to put in...Richard Urena?  Man, Toronto has a weird-ass middle infield situation this year.

His ability to connect with people that you allude to is definitely very intriguing to me, and if he winds up the eventual Dem nominee I could see him pushing that advantage hard - but part of me just can’t get past the lack of substance in his platform.  I could definitely believe that a big part of him declaring is…

without trying to re-litigate 2016:  surely you can agree there’s a difference between Beto doing well in one state and Bernie doing well enough across the country?  I get that the surface optics are similar, but Bernie has proven that he can carry more than his home state; Beto hasn’t even proven that yet.
