I say this as a former Army officer, but war is too cheap now. With drones, cruise missiles, and near impenetrable tanks, it’s just dollars down the hole. As Robert E. Lee said “It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.” We’ve made war cheap and cheapened lives in the end.

Joe Biden is the closest thing to Trump in the Democratic field, and it’s not even really close. He is a serial fucking liar, repeatedly incorporating demonstrable falsehoods into his own personal story, and doing so even *after* he has been publicly called on it. He apparently feels an entitlement to behave however…

I umpired one summer when I was 15 in 1995 and was heckled by parents just about every game.  I remember one game the other umpire I was working with who was probably 16 or 17 had to throw a coach out of the game because he came out to argue a ball/strike more than 3 times in one inning.  Never had any fights though. …

Come on, be fair. If he didn’t call the timeout and get the technical, he would’ve given his team even less chance of winning. The only way the Warriors could extend the game was by getting the technical.

I’m paying attention to him because The Ringer is treating him as a reasonable person and saying his book is worth reading, and I made sure to transcribe the conversation because I know one of the reactions to this blog would have been, “Oh, you’re taking this out of context.” So, there’s the context. I believe it’s…

The ESPN main color guys are so bad. JVG too, for different reasons. This tweet resonates with me deeply:

Everyone’s an armchair assassin.

If it requires Tatum and Smart, trading for AD is asinine if they’re losing Kyrie. AD, Jaylen and Hayward isn’t winning a title.

I see nothing wrong with calling out Walmart execs and shareholders‘ greed to their faces. 

Wow, you are *really* grasping here. There are a lot of things you can criticize Sanders fo...this really is not one of them.

This honors my nephew who did two tours of duty with Enterprise. Came back with lead in his finger from a broken pencil tip. He still wakes up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat from nightmares about large families demanding immediate upgrades. I do my part to honor them by being vigilant and reporting…

He will win. Wholeheartedly agree with this guy...

the statute of limitations should be how long it takes a centralized video review to figure out the right answer before the next play starts.

It is absolutely the correct take. I don’t celebrate after a touchdown anymore, because even if the refs signal for one, it could be deemed not a touchdown several minutes later, and fuck that. Reviews have reduced enjoyment of the game, in addition to slowing it down and making plays increasingly undefinable at a…

welcome to the right side of history, my friend. 

I’m slowly but surely getting on the “remove instant replay in all sports” bandwagon because it fucking sucks.  No, I don’t want to hear about how you lost your money gambling.  No, I don’t want to hear about “getting it right.”  No, I don’t want you to bring up examples about how it benefited the teams I support. …

Because living in a brick McMansion 5-10 miles from anything of interest and the most culturally significant thing in the area being the first McDonalds in the metro suburban area sounds like actual hell to me.

Everywhere you live has something shit about it. NYC is a fucking spectacular place to live. Why do you think people are willing to spend so much per square foot just to live there?  The NYC juice is worth the squeeze 

Go watch the very recent, very good GDC talk about the tech of the new Spider-Man game:

Can’t tell you how many text messages I exchanged with friends seriously worrying about the health of a person I have never met and will likely never meet.
