Just a tangent, constructive conversation on The Takeout needs to be encouraged.  That can be done by staffers following grey accounts, as this brings them out of the grey.  This, in turn, encourages constructive participation and brings more engagement.

Bingo. Access “journalism” helped create this monster. Also helping: the fact that he is clearly a tremendous asshole.

That’s what cruise control is for. An alternative would be to drive a bit below the limit, instead of right on it.

Bullies have to be punched in the face. It’s the only thing they understand. After they are defeated they can try fixing themselves.

Never vote for a Republican.

Unless you also have a team of writers working for you, never pick a fight with someone who has a team of writers.

One of the reasons for those speeding rules is the remarkable frequency of roos colliding with vehicles. I’m Canadian and grew up on the east coast, so I get wildlife collisions.

Most of his dealing with the media was with sportswriters who didn’t want to piss him off for fear of losing access and were usually asking about the one thing he is good at.  That’s not an environment that is going to teach him restraint.

I think usually when rich people sue for libel or slander it is mostly about sending a message to everybody else that they better not jump on the bandwagon unless they enjoy being deposed and it is usually more effective than sending someone like Rodgers a C&D letter. If he just lets Rodgers spout off then he’ll keep…

I’d hope he’d do it just to tie Rodgers up in court for a bit on some stupid shit he said. Let that be as much a part of his legacy as Brett Favre stealing welfare money.

They don’t care if we die.

Every screenshot of Aaron Rodgers on Zoom looks like he just got kicked out of the methadone clinic for smoking ivermectin.

Not that Kimmel is in need of the money. And he may simply want to forget about it, as it’d be a burn of time that he’s probably chronically short of.

He’d be stupid not to. I think he has a valid case.

To think this guy was given serious consideration to be the host of Jeopardy. Yikes.

Been a few times Dahn Undah. They do NOT mess around with speeding (or cell phone use while driving); they have networks of remote cameras set up to catch both, and will ticket you for 2km/over. They dont stop you via patrol car; they simply snap the license plate and send the fine in the mail to the car’s owner. You…

February? April

Well yes and no: Yes because I give the government money that they give back to me eventually. Everything else about it is entirely different: The government is not a profit generating business, ideally they’re using that money for something that I actually have a say in. When you loan money to a company it’s usually…

The fact they didn’t get a lot of complaints is no one is watching anymore.
