Yes. There is this thing in society called money. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Maybe you even have some. Money is an instrument through which people exchange things of value, such as goods and services. In order to be elected to public office in these United States, you need money in order to advertise yourself to the…

Yes, quite a few people care what political policies a crusty old billionaire supports, considering crusty old billionaires hold most of the wealth and power in this country, especially in politics.

You, like him, must be so mad that you can’t publicly just tell us all the hateful things you think about people with…

David Freese is the last time anything close to comparable has happened. Both did stupid things in their first career postseason. (Also, their career stats are spookily similar.)

Last year they were nearly identical, with Davis being slightly better on the defensive glass and Thompson better on the offensive glass. Davis even looked better in box plus minus. Ed Davis is 26 and he got his 3 year deal at his prime age, I think he may have already had his best season this year, if not he will…

He really wanged that ball. I mean he just cocked back and drilled it. That thing was hammered. Even a one-eyed monster could tell that junk was headed all the way to Johnsonville. The Mets are really giving the Cubs the shaft.

Apparently he’s Barry Bonds all of a sudden?

Cool opinion from 2010, bro.

Most photographed person in the world is my neighbor. You’ll be mine one day, you little minx you...

thats total 90s stuff. i remember i was in my early 20s when that french movie la haine came out. and it was full of all kinds of whacky algerian french hiphop.

Well this is different from the songs posted but it’s very beautiful. Song starts at 1:57.

I’m partial to more of the 90s French hip hop. It was really a distinct thing back then. There is so much French music now. But 90s outfits like intik and that famous album by serge gainsbourg with histoire de melody nelson. That was early 70s.

Pretty interesting video.

I haven’t seen bat play like that from an Italian since Casino.

But IF he’s having fun by legitimately mocking (rather than just playfully jabbing) Bautista, implicitly saying “dude’s a clown”, is Rizzo:

I definitely do not understand how this guy makes the same face for about 20 seconds, including through at least 5 seconds of the fight.

Even the Mexican fans showed more fight than Klinsmann’s USMNT.

To the larger question about Klinsmann, can’t it be partially both of those options? Can’t it at the same time be that the US team does not have the quality of players to challenge the really big teams and that Klinsmann may not have the strongest grasp on tactics in the game?

Generally agree, but I think people always over-evaluate the talent USA players.

My grandfather was a marine during WW2, and till the day he died he had nothing but praise for the M1 Garand, and he would talk about how it saved his life thanks to how reliable it was.

However, he said the ping was a huge downside. The enemy figured out the sound meant you had used your last bullet, so it could be a…
