It’s a quandry. On one hand, I have a hard time accepting that his is just who we, as a people, are. It feels the exact opposite of who we claim we aspire to be. On the other hand, I also don’t want to be a bad caricature of my conservative wingnut father in law circa 2008-2016, shouting obscenities at the TV every…

The best thing about Android Pie so far: it fixed the damn "reboot every time you want to use the USB-C dongle" situation on my Pixel 2 that's been annoying the crap out of me for the past 9 months.

If I hadn’t snagged a Pixel 2 after last Christmas, when Target had them $200 off and threw in a $200 Target gift card, I’d seriously consider a PH-1 at this price point. It has a reasonably current processor, tons of onboard storage, a sleek industrial design and timely updates. Amazon has them for like $225 right…

There are FOUR lights!!

As uncomfortable as a recording of the Trumpster using the n-word would be, I’m not sure it’d change anything.

1) You live in Brooklyn...not West Wagontrack, KS. Dude, see a couple decent shows in the metro NYC area in the next month and call it a day.

Will any of those other services also provide me with free 2-day shipping on almost any product imaginable (no matter how much I abuse that ability), a passable music service with an offline listening feature and new episodes of The Expanse, The Tick and Man in the High Castle (and the most complete Doctor Who catalog…

What kind of idiot would give a wanna-be banana republic dictator his own private army of mercenaries, accountable only to him (through a puppet appointee)?  That’s like giving a toddler a flamethrower.

But are we sure it hasn’t thrown us into some bizarro alternate reality already? It would explain a lot.

Something, something...enemy of my enemy, or whatever.

What kind of nutjob threatens a 12 year for just being who they are?

Unless said celebrity is legitimately intimidating - say, maybe a defensive lineman in the NFL or an action movie star - your dignity is already gone at that point. Might at well get paid.

This is one of those Alien vs Predator deals - one monster fighting another, and we lowly humans lose regardless which one of them comes out on top.

True - I didn’t take notice of the ages and dates involved. The article says that her fake degree was dated in 1996. That makes the story a lot more plausible; 22 years ago, higher ed costs hadn’t gone completely insane. It’s not quite “Old Economy Steve” 1970's cheap, but it’s not that outlandish.

“...she waited tables at Ponderosa and saved enough from summer jobs to complete her education.”

You’d think a billionaire could set aside a few grand for three or four decent bespoke suits.  Priorities, I guess.

Ugh. Such a waste of development resources when we could have had a legit Fallout 5, instead.

While I’d like to think that Laura Kelly will be able to use this mess to cast some doubt on the legitimacy of whichever of them eeks out a win, I’m sure they’ll find some way of pinning this on Obama, Hillary and/or illegal immigrants in a way that the Republican base there gobbles up.

Have you been watching the news the past 18 months or so? Nothing short of the Trumpster suspending the 22nd amendment and declaring himself consul for life would surprise me in the bad/dangerous idea department at this point (and even then, that wouldn't surprise me so much as piss me off).
