Kevin Hart Attempts To Scale Trophy Podium

The Brewers haven’t had a competent GM since the days of Harry Dalton. I think Stearns actually has a good idea of what he’s doing. Remember, he helped orchestrate where the Astros are now.

Christopher McDonald is a god damn hero. Sometimes I don’t think actors get enough credit for crushing roles that call for them to be epic douche canoes. Let’s Remember Some Douche Canoes.

Fun times back in ‘78 when they finally “got good.” Can’t be 40 years ago already.

5th best team ERA in the NL last year, it’s not THAT dire.

yelich is what they hope brinson will become, so they basically get that player now with 5 years of control. sucks to give up so much for him (harrison is the kicker, imo) but if the brass thinks they have a shot this year with in weak NL with so many teams regressing, i say go for it.

Hey now, let’s not get crazy. They only enabled decades of sexual abuse and ignored or actively thwarted any investigation into same. It’s not like they did anything really wrong like having a few overeager boosters give some cash to star athletes.

I have been wondering that myself. I could see it going one of two ways. One, they are a benevolent force that seeks to unite the universe in a symbiotic gestalt while not impinging on individual identity. This Borg would still seek to assimilate all life, but would, you know, ask first, and when it was done the new…

I get that the purpose of the mirror universe is as a narrative device to investigate the characters and despite its simplicity its at the very least entertaining. What irks me is the notion that the fault line between universes is morality, but accepting that I’m curious (without necessarily wanting to see this…

I read a couple of different recaps of Discovery each week, and I find that they say a lot more about the particular reviewer and what he or she expects STAR TREK to be than about the particular show.

You seem to be misremembering the original trilogy. When Luke was in the Wampa cave he used the exact same force power (Force Pull) for the exact same self-serving reason, i.e. “i’m in danger and i don’t want to die.”

I’m still not sure what people are talking about when they say we see things done with the force in TLJ that we haven’t before - everything ‘new’ is just an improvement or refinement of things we’ve seen before - the Forcetime conversations between Rey and Ren are just a step up from the force communication we’ve seen…

The fans who had a problem with this still won’t accept his explanation. Their problem was not the logical inconsistencies. their problem is that he did not write a character exactly like they imagined she would act in their head.

Two phony rocket attacks in one week.

When I say “the kids are mostly alright,” I mean they will be alright as individuals. I think the idea that any one generation will be the salvation of those who would prefer to see their particular government move in one direction or another is inherently self-serving, and deluded as a consequence.

Students are a…

I think the problem with Trump’s tweets is twofold:

The first problem is that he tweets before he thinks. His speeches, on their own, are evidence of a man who operates in stream-of-consciousness in terms of his public pronouncements; that on its own would be concerning, but that he continues that behavior in a written…

Honestly, it’s been kind of a mixed bag.

I’ve now taught in the south, and the upper Midwest, and in both geographic areas, I’ve run into the same thing:

Some students are exceptionally well-prepared in terms of having a general grasp of classical logic and salient argument.

Most don’t know what they’re doing, but can…

So, I teach Rhet/Comp (argumentative logic in a written capacity) at the college level, and have for the last twelve years.

The level of obfuscation, dissemblance, and general reliance on logical fallacies that this administration continues to engage in is absolutely flabbergasting. I’m no political pundit, but I do…
