It’s weird to have the name of the city on the home jerseys. 

For Northern Virginia Amazon will be a drop in the bucket along with all of the other defense contractors etc. in the area. Fairfax County is already the second wealthiest county in the country (behind neighboring Loudon County) so it’s not like Amazon is going to to have a huge long term effect on wages and housing.

He went all the way to the opposite end of the state to argue with people who are not his constituents.  That’s pretty dumb.

I think it would surprise gamers to know how little game devs get paid compared developers in fields with lower resource demands.  Games development is really a tiny industry with slim margins.  It pays much better with much better quality of life to work in enterprise software oriented toward businesses.

I think a lot of people don't want to believe that Bernie is a politician. 

My favorite bit of this is that she can dislike Turner’s contract because of the pressure it puts on their salary cap at the same time she recognizes that he does earn that much money. I’ve been trying to communicate something like that to Steelers fans at my office. 

I hate the popular belief in the self-reliant man/woman. Humans aren’t solitary creatures. We have for our entire history as a species supported each other in large groups — larger than a nuclear family — in cultivation, child rearing (breastfeeding and birthing included), and other aspects of our vital parts of our…

It’s pretty amazing watching Biles out there showing that she has no competition as an all around gymnast. I don't know if this is from an inter Olympics lull but her only competition in each element is a specialist, and even then she often sets the standard. 

Aren’t you supposed to buy Christmas decorations before the Christmas season?

Nah, there are plenty of Catholics this way as well.

Could just cancel Halloween for all I care. The candy is nice, though.

Yeah, that was a 5 year show cause for giving a kid a hot dog 4 months before the NCAA considered it permissible. But you can have all the rape and murder that your Board can stomach. 

The “Thin Blue Line” idea is the embodiment of a terrifying philosophy that suggests the only reason people ever do the right thing is the threat of force when they don’t.

Soccer players are plenty tough, but you get rewarded handsomely for pretending that a tap is the worst pain you’ve felt in your life.

It’s revenge for Compete.

Every time a new ad comes out you can tell who funded it by the level of dog whistling. This and a few of the other NRCC ads are among the worst, and sound time deaf next to the Faso campaign’s ads.  They are finding themselves trailing late in the campaign, though, so they're getting more desperate. 

Consecutive throws from the one yard line aren’t doing jack for their second year running back’s confidence. 

I saw one of the anti 112 ads on TV last weekend. I live in New York. 

He’d probably want to, since the mascot gets paid. 

Wouldn’t be surprised if someone who lives that way was looking for the opportunity to film something like this.  Or it could have been a driver ahead of the semi who decided he had to see how it would turn out.
