I can’t believe the Patriots went to all this trouble to beat the Dolphins.

Goddamn, Germans sure know how to get a message across in a very morbid manner...

Lost in the highlight was the news at the bottom of the screen that the Dolphins claimed a taco.

I don’t mean to say that Greg Schiano is right about anything, and it’s different because this was a tie game and they were within threatening distance of scoring, but there should probably just be a signal to the refs of “hey, we’re going to run out the play clock” rather than the whole kneel down thing.

Uber says they’re not hiring the drivers. If they were hiring drivers, then they’d be a transportation company, which they deny. They argue that they’re an app that facilitates a transaction between drivers, who are independent contractors, and people needing rides.  The problem with that is that in a free market,

There is likely far more information that what is presented here but there is no issue with having an independent contractor working for you at a price the hiring agency sets and both parties agree upon.

I don’t think it is that simple. I recall other articles pointing out that drivers are punished via the system if they don’t accept rides. If that is the case, then they are definitely not free to sell their goods at whatever price they want.

basically, the opposite of this guy.

Its amazing to me that a company who is screwing customers and workers with price fixing using surge pricing AND declaring their actual workers as independent contractors, all to make more money, and they STILL lose billions of dollars a quarter

I feel bad for that guy in the lead photo. He’s out there, fighting for a cause he truly believes in and gets his photo taken at the exact moment he’s noticing the stain on his shirt. His friends are going to DESTROY him when they see this.

OK, this story is what I’ve wanted to talk about all morning, but I can’t stop laughing at THIS answer to Trump’s question of whether anybody would believe that he blurts out sensitive information. I’m dying. I’ll come back later with my corkboards-and-string to freak freely over the IC IG mess more coherently, but

Dear Gun Nuts. GO FUCK YOURSELVES.

Why get rid of guns when it’s so much easier to just rely on a peer-reporting system to permanently lock away any individual who any other individual determines will probably become a school shooter?

People are going to go ahead and make their jokes, but 3 has stumped even kings for thousands of years.

THIS is the correct take.

So if I’m reading this correctly, this needs to be deep-fried?

It seems like we could be converging on talking about different things pretty quickly here, so I’d like to make a few points and reset my original statement a little bit.

I mentioned two things that were on the record. Obviously most people didn’t know anything about the rape allegation.

This aged pretty poorly, no?
