I’m smart enough to understand how present-day computers work, using a binary system to calculate “things.” But I’m not smart enough to understand quantum mechanics. So I’m trying to dumb-down quantum computing into terms I understand (I’m hoping this is akin to a 21st century automobile engineer describing what cars…

Your post brings up so much cognitive dissonance in me.

Not to dump on a guy I don’t know, but Geno Smith is proven butt. In basically two full seasons as a starter, he had 3 good games; the rest were mediocre to bad and nothing he did in his 30 games with the Jets indicated a future as a starting NFL QB on a different team. This is about the worst move the Giants could…

I think its so cool how we here in America are still supporting the Catalan independence movement by empowering some of the best young people Catalonia has to offer.

One of the great and most influential moments in American history was in 1802, when Chief Justice John Marshall effectively created out of whole cloth the idea that the U.S. Supreme Court was the only arbiter of what the Constitution meant and how it would be interpreted. That move, by itself, vested previously…

“This just in: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.”

Penn State Brandywine is one of the weakest Hobbit characters you can play in the new “Middle-Earth: Shadow of War” game.

In late September, wasn’t Jahlil the lesser of Philly’s two Okafors? And the other one was 35 and had been retired for 4 years? I don’t see that as a 2nd-rounder valuation.

“___________ Is a Bad Idea, No Matter What People Say on 4chan”

Peterman’s performance was so bad that Seahawks punter Jon Ryan had one pass of negative 4 yards last night and ended up with a QB rating more than 4x that of Peterman (79.2 to 17.9).

So, a few things here. First, Joe Morgan is undeniably a Hall-of-Famer and at least one of the top 5 greatest 2nd baseman of all-time, but his post-playing career opinions on baseball have ranged from old-school-like-Code-of-Hammurabi-old to easily rebuttable nonsense. His opinion on former friend and teammate Pete…

In that top picture, it looks like Nina Roth has to put a cloth on her Swiffer before going to her janitorial job.

So I’m old and haven’t really paid attention to X-men comics since the late 80s, but I’m thinking the Guild of Assassins vs. the Thieves Guild face-off sounds a little one-sided. “There, we’ve stolen your magic amulet and now we control New . . .” thwwt; fttth; shhhhrrk! “uh oh; . . .yeah, . . . um . . . yeah, you…

Looking at the lead picture, is Taboo cross-eyed? And, man, has Fergie ever changed.

I rank A Bug’s Life higher simply because it came out when my son was about 6 months old and when he was wrapped up in a winter jumper, he looked just like Heimlich the caterpillar. He was a smiley, chubby boy.

I can’t recommend this highly enough. It doesn’t go the audience-intelligence-insulting route of Once Upon a Time but it has a enough lightness of spirit to keep it out of “magic is a dark mirror into the human soul” dystopia as well. To describe it as “Harry Potter for adults” insults both this and the Harry Potter…

I’m a cranky, old white guy, so I generally hate over enthusiastic celebrations of just making a nice play. A fist jab after a goal, fine; the Astros’ choreographed hand-jive routine, fuck off. But a goalie getting an empty-netter is one of the situations in which I’m fine with a little extra. Also okay: defensive…

What a fucking pussy.

Not an OU or Mayfield fan, but in his defense, the Kansas captains pointedly refused to shake his hand at the opening coin toss. Not really sure what that was about, but unless someone provides some meaningful backstory (i.e., Mayfield scored in last year’s game and then fucked the Jayhawk mascot in the ass at…

Holy shit, talk about cognitive dissonance! LaVar Ball on one side of a feud, Donald Trump on the other; I feel like Norman the android in between Kirk and Harry Mudd on the “I, Mudd” episode of Star Trek.
