That there is another section of "red flags" might be the best thing I read today. 

My generic phone browser was showing Kia ads. Only when I went to Chrome with my login credentials cached and browsing history at play did I see the Porsche ads. I’m now 7 times more likely to buy each - but since there was a 0% chance before, that doesn’t matter much.

I once had new neighbors move in and introduce themselves as Ron and Nicole. I am terrible at remembering names, and the couple divorced and moved elsewhere years ago, but whenever I run into either of them around town I immediately remember their names. 

Nepotism was absolutely in play. I got my job because of connections through my girlfriends family. The money was very good (at least where I worked) and the jobs were in high demand. I could earn more in that 6 week season than I’d earned the entire summer working anywhere else. My plant was unionized, which helped,

I was hoping someone else had a fish plant story. I’m late to the party, but am also a fish camp veteran. It was a summer job during college — the kind of job that reminded you why you were going to college in the first place. Our facility was nicer, though still primitive. We had permanent bunk houses, and you could

The money’s not in the pogo, it’s in the insurance you have to pay for to rent one.

I thought everyone knew the Mariners were where can't miss prospect catchers went to die.

The dead guy should be put to death? It’s like you’re not even trying anymore. 

From the headline, I was expecting a 78 second long clip of things stitched together, not 78 seconds of consecutive “game” play.

So if the Rays and Marlins meet, could we expect a black hole to form amidst all that emptiness?

He'd already used Jr. Naming him after his fake persona was a natural next step. 

I’ve been to a restaurant with a person who had food allergies. The server and his manager were made aware of the allergies. The manager even made a point of checking in to make sure that the allergies were understood and assured us they would be handled. When meals were delivered, the person with the allergies didn’t

Except they aren’t. There’s an exception for in-vitro fertilization. The “life begins at conception” argument means that birth control that prevents implantation after fertilization of the egg would be illegal, and that in-vitro fertilization should also be illegal.

There are plenty of scientific reasons this bill is bullshit, so I won’t even bother going into that part. I think the obvious response to such an attack on women is to argue that this bill didn’t go far enough. After all, every sperm is sacred.

In Chicago right now, they're very salty. 

It's those damn obstructionist Democrats again. 

I thought that @45 and his Fluffer had other plans yesterday, plans that had nothing at all to do with the national teacher of the year winner being black. 

My youngest son and his best friend have made several LEGO stop motion movies for their school science fair. Their creativity in finding ways to represent motion and add special effects impressed me. They also learned and developed a number of science and math skills on top of the creative skills.

We’re in the last week of the Washington State Legislative Session, barring a special session if the legislature doesn’t finish its work in time (which it hasn’t in a budget year in a while). There’s not enough time left to both do the work that the legislature needs to do, and to devote the time to this asshole. His
