My favorite jumps are the ones to conclusions.

Ummm what consoles were they playing on? What brand/type of controllers were they using? I never follow this tournament stuff but you’d think an article like this would give this basic info

So, this is the fascist playbook at its most naked —everyone look at this carefully, please. Random grown, young men, in the prime category for perpetrating terrorist activities, sail easily into the US from Saudi Arabia, Chechnya, Egypt, and the Sudan. Their immigration goes largely unchecked. Instead, the most…

Well, I know I feel safer here in this shining city on the hill, this beacon of freedom, this safe harbor for the wretched and yearning, this symbol that if you work hard you can achieve anything!

Of all the stories in the past week, I don’t know why, just now, that this story in particular would make me want to punch a wall and toss my mouse.

Where does a mansplainer get his water?

Single Prayer Healthcare.

Just so we can get it out of the way and move on to other commentary:
Something something something liberals, politics on my car site, keep your politics to yourself, liberal media, MAGA, I’m unsubscribing from Jalopnik, give him a chance, but whataboutwhenObama..., blah blah blah etc

A few days ago I mentioned I was making a poster to motivate myself to study for the bar. Well guess what?
