Here’s a short video from Planet Money about Chicken Tax.

Now he knows better. Next time he’ll rake the area first!

Yup. One of those obit where it’s really hard to figure out which of a whole bunch of amazing things to highlight.

“...one of his longest roles, a casino operator in the first season of HBO’s Deadwood.”

This is just a test to see if I can get out of the grays by also stating that Scott Muni is dead. I don’t even know who that is. 

“This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it—that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

I need to stop doing this because it ultimately doesn’t matter but...

And this thoughtless, vile cruelty is a big part of his brand and why a large portion of this nation likes him.

Guys....I think MadBum’s kind of an asshole.

I miss him so much. My sis and I had tickets to see him at a festival last year and I spent all year amping her up for his amazing performances and then he canceled last minute and died the following month. So sad but I’m excited to have some new songs.

After all the hype and Brinks trucks rolling up to Disney’s house, it was really just an average origin story movie between two characters that…

That movie is so good. It’s really just that one scene that’s really disturbing. It made my wife cry though. I yelled out a “holy shit!”

I disagree on the handball, but I get where you’re coming from. These guys sum it up well for me:

I’m honestly pretty pissed about how the final shook out for Croatia. I didn’t necessarily expect them to win, but the dynamic of the game was completely changed by that (undeserved) goal off Griezmann dive, and the controversial (lame) penalty. I’d have been fine with them losing, but to watch them dominate the early…

This is entertaining! It’s also probably part of Nathan Fillion’s campaign to get cast in the movie, right? Do they have a Nathan Drake yet?
