Since when is the NYT working for the other side? I get that it’s an opinion piece and not necessarily indicative of their editorial approach, but damn if it didn’t seem like something that soyld hve actually been said with a heavy dose of sarcasm on The Colbert Report.

While certainly not outside the realm of possibility, I’m pretty sure that’s the point where New England and the west coast secede from the union and people turn from marches and rallies to riots and bombings.

It’s like being forced to choose which kind of metastatic cancer you want. There’s no good answer; they’re all awful.

Did the people at AT&T not learn anything from the AOL acquisition of Time Warner? Buy it for the cable company and the intellectual property rights, but for christsake, don’t buy it for “content”.

As much as I wish we could call this a win, it’s more likely just a lack of motivation on the part of casual-to-moderate gun nuts. No scary liberals are coming for their guns at the moment, and it was a sweltering July afternoon.

There isn’t exactly the time or the capacity to do much testing in advance and the option carries a lot of risks, but compared with the alternative of trying to turn a dozen cold, scared kids into a team of sufficiently proficient cave divers in the span of a few days... it’s worth at least considering.

I hate to tell you this, but it’s entirely possible that he actually is in solitary confinement for his own safety. Between Trumpco, the Russians and assorted eastern European authoritarian governments and criminal syndicates, there are likely quite a few people in this world that wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to…

At first, Moviepass seemed like a pretty good deal - albeit, one kind of narrowly targeted at heavy moviegoers. But it seems like every time I hear about it now, it sounds sketchier and sketchier.

That’s pretty much what happened when we had our 2nd child. My wife was an elementary school teacher at the time, and we had a retired family friend watching our first daughter (for what basically worked out to be about $10/hr). That family friend’s husband fell ill, and she was already irrevocably committed to…

Has Mitch McConnell ever pretended to give a damn about school shootings?  I'm not sure this is news so much as a statement of the obvious.

Serious nostalgia there. Ultima 6 and 7 defined a lot of my early computer gaming experiences. Up to them, most of the RPGs I had played had been very structured and narrowly defined (mostly gold-box AD&D dungeon crawls) and seeing a gaming world that detailed and alive was kind of mind-blowing.

Thick, heavy-duty sunscreen lotion is ok for a day at the beach, but that’s kinda gross for less intense situations. I’ve got a nice, light moisturizer with an SPF that soaks in cleanly for daily use, but it has its limits in terms of effectiveness. Spray sunscreen is handy for those in-between situations - where you…

The only thing weirder than Stephen Miller’s disproportionately massive forehead due to his early-onset male pattern baldness is trying to imagine how bizarre he must have looked with his hairline a few inches forward.

What’s even more bizarre is that she’s arguably tied with Mattis for being the least horrible cabinet member in this administration.

That sounds like a horribly cheesy Civil War reenactment persona.

That would seem to be a flaw in the study. It introduces another independent variable - interpretation of the intention behind one set of actions vs another.

Smoot-Hawley, something, something, Great Depression.

Sounds like someone’s jockeying for some extra pork in the federal budget for Maine.

Yes, it was part of their vile single-payer strategy. That’s why they have to be stopped.

Sounds like the slippery slope toward drinking room-temperature instant coffee out of a non-descript travel mug you got on clearance at Dollar General, on your way to a pointless job that robs you of your will to live (but pays just a little too much to rationalize quitting outright).
