Problem is, if they haven’t already used it, a team scoring to take the lead under two minutes will just take it then and run out the clock, thus preventing the other team from answering.

My business supplied the parts for the 6 1966 Thunderbirds used in T&L. A couple, including the jump car were actually hardtops that had been chopped off. And the scene where they are tossing luggage into the trunk with the top down, well any T-Birder knows that ain’t happening! Not to mention the addition of a…

His company Alibaba could be shut down in minutes if he came out in support of HK. He’s not stupid. Morally bankrupt, but not stupid.

I thought about that. The ruling class has done a good job of sating the people with Bread and Games, but what happens when China takes away the game from the reported 800 million Chinese basketball fans?

Gonna reply to myself here.

If you told me 10 years ago that Hearthstone would be at the center of a huge, international diplomatic storm, I would’ve said the same thing I’ll say today: What is Hearthstone?

I mean, the Chinese government literally said “we do not believe in freedom of speech.” So it really ISN'T very complicated.

I thought Clayton Kershaw’s tribute to that last night was really beautiful.

You’re right, some good arguments on both sides there. Really makes you think.

If China had a big boy internet, maybe they could look up the Streisand Effect. Throwing a massive temper tantrum whenever anyone notable in the NBA mentions Hong Kong is the absolute surest way to get other NBA notables to bring up Hong Kong in the future when they otherwise wouldn’t bother to, especially if China is…

First suspension pre-load critique I’ve ever seen of Thelma and Louise committing suicide. Thanks.

Well...I guess SOME PEOPLE get to make edits after 15 minutes. Talk about privilege.

Well, it works if you consider small ball getting as few hits and runs as possible.

It speaks volumes about these people that:

The new and improved tomahawk chop...

What’s really great is to be a lifelong Braves fan who dislikes the Chop (yes, we exist). I get to enjoy yet another NLDS bed-shitting AND be lumped in with knuckle-draggers who insist we were embarrassed today because the team didn’t distribute foam toys. Cuz, you know, the Chop was clearly immensely helpful in the…

It takes an amazing act of assholery to make the Cardinals look like the team I want to root for. The Braves managed to get there. Well done. 

The Cardinals played like they are REALLY motivated to get some soggy fast food at the White House next spring and bring Fredbird along, too.
