Yeah, and they look it. I was in a car that was stopped by them once and they looked like military. Pretty scary. I do *OK* with basic Spanish (and they knew a little English from all the Brit tourists) but the driver could barely speak it at all so I had to try to help out. They did let us go eventually! Took a…

A lot of us tried to warn people. But as she points out, there is nothing they will stoop to in order to “win.”

Dude. I saw the logo and thought it was a shoop at first! And that Disney would be pissed when they saw it. Probably only the fans will be pissed.

The “Utah Jazz?” Really?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

As I’m sure is obvious, I know very little about sports. What I do know, I mostly learned by reading Real Deadspin (RIP & Fuck Herb Spanfuller!)

Love the scene in the airport with the hare krishnas and the scientologist!

I save them and give them to street people when I have a bag full. That way they will get recycled and I’m helping out someone who needs help.

That’s what Santa said in the followup post! Ding ding ding!

If you want to brush up, check out Duolingo. It’s free, easy to use and they offer a bunch of different languages. The focus is on practical language and also grammar.

It can be a real rabbithole. One of the sayings about scientology (from non scientologists) is: Scientology is always worse than you think - even if you take that into account.

In the hospital. Nurse (nursing assistant, probably?) comes in to change something about my IV. Doesn’t flush the line.
Me: Um, are you gonna flush the line before you connect that?
Nurse/NA: Oh yeah, sorry about that.
Me: I don’t mean to be fussy, but I had a friend who caught one of those awful hospital infections.
N/NA:…

They are not scilons. Tom Cruise tried hard to recruit them - along with the Beckhams, who were based in LA at the time. There are photos of them (and Katie Holmes) together from back then. But he failed.

They gave money to set up a school with definite scilon links (since closed). But they were never onboarded.

But, it says on COPS that they are!!!

I think someone is just salty that Cops got canceled.

It is way better looking than the cybertruck, tho.

That trial was painful. I think they could have stuck it if Delaurio hadn’t spoken like he was writing a snarky blog post. He really screwed the pooch.

I miss Car Talk. :-/ My favorite part was when they would mimic the sounds the cars made to people who called in with questions. And they took questions like, if my kid continuously rolls the electric window up and down, how soon will it wear out.

That’s not the issue. I loathe herb Spanfeller, on the daily. But saying he’s worse that sHitler is just trolling. That’s punching down at Jewish people, Gypsies/Roma, LGBT folks, women... so, yeah, no. Not Funny.

And then was so fragile that they turned commenting off. Fuck Herb Spanfuller. I don’t mess with sportsball, but I loved real Deadspin.

Nice try, troll. (Well ok, not really). Yes, I am saying that any noose anywhere is disgusting. Because, like, suicide also isn’t funny, bro. You can’t possibly argue that is isn’t a symbol of racism (sure, you could, but that would be patently ridic). A noose is used for one purpose and one purpose only.
No Thank U,…

According to investigative journalist and author Tony Ortega, they are not scilon. Tom Cruise did his best to recruit them - and also the Beckhams at around the same time, when they were in LA - but failed. They funded and then defunded a school linked to Co$ but they never were really in.

Suggesting that he goes downtown with any frequency seems like giving him too much credit.
