Gramps Geminiid would occasionally call out to Gramma Geminiid in a falsetto sing-songy “Mother” or “Mother Dear” but it always seemed like a rhetorical device borrowed from, what I assumed to be, some old tv or radio show. To her eternal credit (miss ya grammy!) she would never counter with “Father” but simply a…

In an alternate reality, Lewandowski just missed his chance to play the Colonel von Stauffenberger role in this generation’s Operation Valkyrie.

Trump could roll up to the Capitol in an open-air rickshaw Friday and be perfectly safe. Mike Pence and Paul Ryan as his successors is a better security measure than anything a defense contractor, Detroit or a dark lord of the sith could ever conceive.

I’m just a casual player of a couple different (pc) MMO’s but this seems all wrong to me. At the end of the day, the people behind these avatars are all CONSUMERS of either the product (the game) and/or the service (subscription). Any statement from Blizzard that makes the consumer at fault for making a valid choice…

If that’s not enough to turn your stomach, there’s a multi-year long waiting list of people who ALREADY PASSED THE ENTRANCE EXAM and are waiting for “slots” in the training academy, and an officer makes $72k per year after the first year, with automatic raises and a very nice benefits package. The “bad apples” could…

I’m waiting for insurance companies to start writing dashcam discounts into their policies. So many questions can be answered with a simple rewind of the video.

I hope his attorneys e v i s c e r a t e the defendants in court and take no prisoners. You folks from outside Chicagoland need to know that Evanston is, by most measures, thought to be fairly diverse and progressive compared to the rest of the county. If this can happen in Evanston, it can LITERALLY happen anywhere…

Uh, kid’s still on the team, still on scholarship and still got a chance at a pro-ball payday. How many dozens (hundreds??) of kids can play ball at his level AND not be violent sociopaths off the field too? Yeah. I’d say he lost his spot - give it to the next kid in line and see how it goes...and if I were an…

I’m not worried about hijackers, but what kind of monster crams seahorses into a liquor bottle?? There’s just not harsh enough punishments for some of these people.

Alot of people seem to be going after Tilda Swinton for reaching out to Margaret Cho randomly or something like a “let’s ask my token asian friend” sort of situation - but Cho sort of took the lead on trying to go after the casting in this film fairly early on, and maybe was the most famous person on social media to…

...or maybe put them in a gas chamber and replace all the air with nitrogen or carbon monoxide, with unconsciousness guaranteed within minutes and death shortly thereafter? I would imagine it’s kind of difficult to fuck that up procedurally or logistically.

Classic blowhard-Trump - he wastes 4 golden minutes of free airtime to rave about two 1% white dudes’ “endorsements” of him, and classicly sheeple Trump supporters oooh and aahhh over it.

Tammy Duckworth is a BEAST. I have no idea how she gets the energy. She moves around a good bit on prostheses and canes, but when the the haul is too long or she’s runs outta steam, she switches over to a scooter and rolls onward. I saw her at the Chicago Pride Parade this summer, and she was doing donuts and…

Rip Taylor gif and an Amazon Women On The Moon reference in the same thread just made my day! There simply aren’t enough stars !

But NCAA scholarship athletes are definitely NOT employees, and totally not protected by OSHA, labor laws, FMLA, etc.

Are these the same Brazilian police who were picketing at the airports as Olympic visitors were arriving? Wacky how the only party surprised and/or skeptical of the scenario is the judge. Lochte isn’t even the first Olympian to claim being robbed by somebody with a badge/uniform while in Rio, though he is probably the…

I’m totally cool with Law Enforcement Officers, and their rights and all, but I’m starting to think that some of these unions that claim to represent officers should be investigated as hate groups.

Nope. He’s just a photogenic open-carry guy.

The impassioned missives from the athletes really got me.

Many, if not all, of the institutions mentioned in the article have upgraded their campus security departments to full-fledged sworn police forces since the advent of Title IX. Why then are administrators and athletic directors and coaching staff EVER privy to the ongoing investigations of rape and sexual assault on…
