Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

I absolutely loathe the American Legion. I attended one of their national meetings to cover an awards ceremony once, and if you translated the opening speech into German it wouldn’t have sounded out of place in Berlin circa 1938.

Remember that Seinfeld where George has sex with the cleaning woman, and when his boss confronts him, his bullshit response is “Should I not have done that? Is that sort of thing frowned upon. Because I gotta say, at my old job we did that sort of thing all the time.” Essentially the WH is adopting that strategy…

This isn’t terribly shocking. Veterans are largely conservative, and especially in a hospital, largely old. And old veterans are still distrustful of women in the military, because they’re sexist garbage.

Tragically there are a few candidates for the title.

Man, these guys really won’t defend anything.

I live here, dude. You cannot impress enough that nature is a fickle mistress. Heck, we just lost someone to a shark attack on Maui this morning. We lose way too many people hiking because they underestimate and quite frankly do not respect how quickly Mother Earth can take you down. Not to mention people who turn…

I saw Peter Tosh 6 mos before his death.  It was a life changing event, top 10 concert I have ever seen.  Outdoors in Hawaii, when he sang legalize it, everyone busted out bongs or whatever they had and we had a spiritual moment.  Good times!

Peter Tosh - Stepping Razor

Because it’s socially-adjacent to the work they do? Are astronauts only allowed to be asked or answer questions about exactly what they do on a daily basis? If he’d asked if the astronaut thought if there was intelligent life on other planets, probably something an average astronaut is also not an expert in, would…

Eggboy is the hero we need right now.

Previously, on “Splinter”:

Southern. Comfort. 

I can’t decide: Does she seem more like an actual human encased in a bubble and unable to interact with the outside world, or a replicant with shitty motherboard?

Boy there’s a lot to unpack in this post, but the insinuation that spending time with a therapist is a knock against a man really is the topper on this shit sundae. Oof.

I think there are probably plenty of people who are pro death penalty in theory but don’t want their names down as official witnesses to a going-out-of-business-sale ten-day death jamboree.

In my head he's in the batting cage, being held back by the hitting coach, and yelling "come at me, bro" at the machine.

No doubt Brazil has looked vulnerable, a decent team with a great home crowd rather than a great team. Still, we don't really know what Colombia is yet—beating Japan, Ivory Coast, Greece, and Uruguay without Suarez only tells us so much.
