I was lucky enough to meet Mike here in Austin a couple years ago. He showed up to film a segment for his Trading Up show. The day was cold, windy, and there were threats of hail and even tornadoes. All the cars had to be rushed into a dark, shitty parking garage. He arrived on time, in a good mood, and ready to get…

Good. Now can we work on booting Jimmy Fallon for his annoying portrayal of a talk show host?

He’s not a Trump supporter. He’s a Bernie Bro, here to remind us that his guy was more ideologically pure than Clinton, which to him trumps electability, and being the petulant baby he is he stamped his feet and held his breath and threw away his vote and it’s not his fault that an undemocratic tyrant is in power.

You know, I despise Republicans for being either evil or dimwitted, but at least they believe in something. You’re worse then that. We live in a two party system, especially for president. That’s never going to change (except to a one party system). And at the end of the day you can’t even help yourself.

That’s the only honest political slogan there is.

I don’t know, man. After Nixon’s embarrassing resignation, the Republicans still controlled the Executive Branch for 14 of the next 20 years.

They didn’t want to make too much of a splash.

I live in Boston, and as much as I often hate other residents’ refusal to take risks on big events in the city if there’s a chance someone might be slightly inconvenienced (the F-1 race would’ve been great), we really dodged a bullet when we rejected the Olympics hosting bid last year.

Everyone who is arguing with this guy is responding to someone who started with a lukewarm take of his own that was tangentially at best related to the attached article.

I think this is an important point. In order to be a successful president, you really have to be an effective operator. You need to be able to build a coalition to make things happen. She’s far enough out, with almost no support in Congress that she’d be pretty hamstrung if she wound up getting elected.

No rout at the presidential debates for voters...but for intelligent people I think they will show a massive difference. I guess that is my point. Trump will “win” for his supporters and Hillary will win for her supporters...Hillary will only have to be worried about losing her cool because that is the sort of…

I don’t think the problem is supporting other candidates, it’s that this one stands no chance. DWS is highly popular in her district, and there is only minimal hunger for Sanders-esque policies there, based on how many people voted for him in the primaries. The amount of money that has been futilely thrown at Tim…

I wouldn’t have any problem with Superdelegates as a concept if they were all guaranteed to be elected to some form of actual office.

“Remember all that fuss last year about the supposed discovery of an alien megastructure”

Reads to me that this Watson did a damn good job of passing the Turing Test. (And if you grasped how many jobs consist of just manipulating data or information, stories like this one of the Watsons incrementally taking over the world ought to scare the shit right out of you.)

Still worth it.

I got one of these from a resident Harriet Tubman Truther. Which is hysterical because 1/3 of the people in that picture were not presidents.

Yeah... I never understood why Nero, who had a time machine and was pissed about his planet blowing up from natural causes, just didn’t go back and save his planet. Instead he vows revenge on the only people who were actually trying to save the planet and ends up killed by the substance that could have saved his…

Wanted to say this

“Central, in pursuit of a suspect, looks to be a red Nissan. We’re closing- Ah, Central, suspect turned west on Fleetwood, we’re gonna need backup”

“3-17, repeat, you need backup?”

“Ah, Central, we’re in a Challenger... Still barreling down Main, couldn’t make the turn”

“... Backup enroute”
