GQP is essentially trying to legalize vehicular manslaughter. All the kid has to say is the cyclists were protesting his right to roll coal and he felt threatened. Forget about the hospital, he could send six riders to the morgue with that story and not a jury in the state would convict him of shit.

Serious question - is Texas one of those “Stand Your Ground” states? If one of the cyclists had been packing, after the accident, could one of them feasibly have walked up to this shit-for-brains and blown his face off?

Better off starting with the newest stuff and working backward until they aren’t what you’re looking for.

Oh interesting - I think that’s part of why I stopped listening. Narrative was strong and then... felt like it just kind of lost the thread/lost momentum. Perhaps not worth revisiting then. A shame, I recall really enjoying the early episodes.

Welcome to Night Vale is so fucking good. In the before-times, one of my favorite rituals was coming home from my weekly table top role playing game (hosted at a comic shop, naturally) late at night and listening to Welcome to Night Vale on the drive. It was like being enveloped in a nerd blanket lullaby. Speaking of…

My wife is a nurse. After the shit storm she went through in 2020, she knew she would not be able to provide medical care to a willfully unvaccinated Covid patient. These people are essentially bioterrorists and pose a greater threat to our lives than ISIS, Al Qaueda, and the Taliban all rolled together.

Took one of my best friends to Keens for his bachelor party, and I went for the chops ($62 a la carte today, this was perhaps 10 years ago so I don’t remember exactly how much). We also ordered stupid amount of sides and, naturally, liquor. I cannot remember how much it came to per person but I want to say more than…

Ha I remember the garlic butter quote!

I would pay low three figures - like, $100-130 — for truly god tier cut of meat, assuming it was a generous portion size and came with a couple sides.

That’s how I feel about filet mignon. 

please fix the headline it is absurd

Are you guys just baiting us with that stock image of a dog smothered in ketchup? Takeout remains the most cordial off all the G/O Media sites but if anything is libel to break the “don’t yuck someone else’s yum” truce and kickoff a blood feud it’s the ketchup on dogs debate.

OK that looks like a Tim & Eric character.

Between the mullet and the glasses I’m getting very strong normcore* vibes from Sherman. Is this how people look now? Is this an intentional fashion choice? A comedic decision?

looks kewl tho

Oh man your last paragraph made me dizzy.

I’m usually excellent with British accents - I understood every single goddamn word of Rob Roy for example. But I’m going to need subtitles for Lizzie.

I’m giving some leeway in that I’m interpreting it as “wrong as written but correct in spoken slang.” The closest approximation I can think of off the top of my head would be if someone was clearly talking about the United Nations, and said “UN” but was quoted in the paper as “yoo-en”. Which would be absurd.

You’re right. I’d say say pump him full of ivermectin until he’s shitting out his intestines, but that’d be a waste of good horse dewormer. Firing squad is a waste of lead. Shit, throwing him down a well is a waste of a well.
