Here’s what keeps me up at night: if I’m Russia or whoever, and I want to absolutely obliterate the US, what I do in 2020 is I hack things in favor of the Democrats, and I intentionally do a really bad job of covering it up so it all comes to light right after the election.

Ehhh...Pinker has a lot more research and intellectual rigor behind his stuff than Gladwell does. He does fall into the common academic trap of “I know a lot about X, and I’m at least as smart as people who do Y, so Y must be pretty simple”.

Yeah, this just looks like flat out headhunting. Backup QB? Flatten him so they have play their 3rd stringer. Yeah, I’m sure no one talked about that in the Browns locker room before the game.

At the half the Jets have three Ficken points. 

Cut to a cartoon of a dry cleaner called “Fried Chicken & Waffles”, and the owner standing outside saying “Anyone who’s too lazy to google what we do doesn’t deserve to have their clothes cleaned.”

Yeah, I did the same. If people have to google a group because they’re not sure if they’re white supremacists, it’s a sign that maybe they could have picked a better name.

he was right to genuflect after smashing that because I think it hit God

He can wipe his tears with all of the dollars he gets from Wall Street.

Alright, I’ll be the guy to point out that P-51's are land based and not equipped to land on carriers, so he’s doomed whether the plane’s on fire or not.

I can’t imagine how frustrating and horrifying it must be to try to run a business in the UK right now. How do you plan for next quarter? Next year? How has the entire business community not dragged these dipshits out into a fen and held them under until they quit twitching?

“Ansel Elgort” sounds like hard to find a craft beer from Belgium.

I think what you’re describing already exists: The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paraside.

This is going to be hardest on Bristol, Track, Twig, Smock, Groot, Krunk, Willow, Slider, Stub, Twiddle, Piper, Fluff, Carat, Keg, Snuggle, Bop, Rice and Spoit.

I didn’t personally appreciate the light touch it took regarding Falwell Sr. either, but it’s important to note that the reporter is a Liberty grad who presumably still shares at least some of the alleged values that Liberty espouses, and this is what granted him access to people he openly admits are still very…

The apple doesn’t fall far from the whole bunch of spoiled apples, and then it’s also spoiled.

Never forget:

You don’t want to keep your heads in salt water. Splurge and get formaldehyde. It’s worth it in the long run, trust me I know.

“Potato” is a shape.

The idea of the BBC finding something “too emotionally muted” made me giggle. 

I DO live in a Banana Republic (they make washable suits that are decent quality and a good price point), but even I don’t like the fact that we appear to be heading towards becoming my favorite business casual haberdasher’s namesake.
