Correction: everybody behind has to slow down because of whomever it is behind this guy that overreacts and brakes when they don’t need to. A gap is a gap, and people who use all of the available road - as in a proper zipper merge - help the greater good by maintaining the flow and keeping these backups short.

The guy…

It’s been fact-checked that it is, in fact, his wife.

My first thought was these kids just made the best 1-2 ring intro I’ve seen in a while.

The money quote:

He needs to reach second base first.

I do miss my onion belt. It was the style at the time, though. It’d cost me me five bees. #grandpasimpson .

When given the choice between truths that challenge their world views and lies that support their world views, people will choose the latter every time. When Hillary told the coal miners in Appalachia they will need to retrain and adjust to a new environment while 45 said they can get their old jobs back, guess which…

I don’t wanna get near you. I’m glad you got the fish.

this made me LOL out loud

“Ha, you ain’t so pretty now!”

Fucking hell. I’m sitting on the couch right now with my 4-year old daughter snuggled against me. I cannot imagine a more horrible thing to experience. My heart goes out to that father.

I could definitely understand a kid not quite weighing how “worth it” a system may or may not be. I think as a parent you totally get a mulligan on this one. Even if you get it and it’s a work in progress, it’s what your son wanted. No harm no foul.

I’ve watched that tape too damned much today, and as much as I hate it I’m going to defend Beatty. He did his best to get it right while live tv was happening, and things snowballed. When he handed the card to Dunaway he really was hoping she’d read silently first and see it was the wrong award, then they could both…

Ugh, I’ve gone from desperately searching for a pre-order to grab, to planning on waiting a solid six months before buying.

It’s such a fucking insult.

Hey Terrell, could I make a book recommendation to you? You’re writing a lot about Russia, and a book I recently read that has a great overview on Russian society under Putin is called “Putin Country” by Anne Garrels, a former NPR reporter. It’s a pretty unflinching look at the effects of the governement on modern…

The dump is awesome as a kid because you get to see how far you can throw things, and if they have dumpsters you get to hear things make awesome booming and crashing sounds.

Nearly a perfect list for my childhood! All it’s missing is the trips to Al-Anon meetings, where 10-year-old me heard some real shit. Somehow, the joy of a trip to Dairy Queen is nullified somewhat when you just heard a dude talk about getting his wife into sex work so that they could buy heroin. Dad, I don’t care if…
