Is there a good governor in the United States? Particularly, is there a good Republican governor? Daugaard in South Dakota doesn’t seem to do too much to actively damage the state, even as he doesn’t stand against the legislature’s bigotry and political opportunism.

And before anyone trots out Jerry Brown as an…

You’re saying that you think Jeffrey Loria is not a necromancer? That is a hot take.

What other athletes generally have access to their wallets during competitions? Is this something unique to tennis? I don’t recall any baseball players offering to pay off umpires, at least in MLB.

Yeah. The problem is FERPA prevents anyone except the parents / student from disclosing that information. Unlike the commenter citing the Daily Mail, I think the fact that the white family - who do know their child’s GPA - hasn’t come forward to prove there was a tie is significant. The school district legally can’t…

What a beautiful car and a wonderful write up of your time with it.

I look forward to picking one of these up in a few years when carseats are less of an issue. If they’re really pitching these at parents then the rear seats needed to get wider and farther back from the front seats. As far as I can tell, that didn’t…

It’s still not as offensive as employing Trent Richardson.

I know you’re being facetious with the idea that someone may have turned off the powerstrip, but the cameras are (almost) definitely using batteries.

Are we sure that Phil isn’t intentionally making the Knicks worse out of spite or an old grudge from his coaching and playing career?
Or is Phil truly the master tactician and Zen philosopher he’s portrayed as being? Is he trying to run the Knick so infuriatingly poorly that Dolan gives up and sells? Or is he just…

It’s a shame that Falcon McFalconface doesn’t emulate Rickey Henderson’s style of speaking about himself in its tweets.

Some people say that women, in consultation with their doctors, should have complete control over their bodies. Other people say that women cannot be trusted to make all the decisions about their bodies without state interference. The truth is somewhere in the middle and so we should give women some control and…

Is it shattering?

The network that maintains that revolving door is actually pretty amazing. As Zhao details, a restaurant owner in suburban Georgia can contact an employment agency in Flushing (NYC) and get any style of cook they want in a manner of days. [The owner can then decide that they actually didn’t want the cook once the…

I’m not sure how they feel about linking to articles from other sites on Fusion, so I’ll just suggest you Google “NPR Lo Mein Loophole” or “Heather Lee Chinese Restaurants” to get a more nuanced and complete version of the argument in text.

For anyone interested, NPR has a more detailed version of this story, called “Lo Mein Loophole,” from 2016. Heather Lee’s research into Chinese restaurants is really cool and it’s too bad that this video gives it such poor treatment.
Also, while the addition of restaurant owners to those who could claim merchant…

But FIFA’s still okay with the ruling family of a country sanctioning the deaths of workers because they’re a different race, right? Or can referees just whistle all the games in Qatar a draw immediately?

A zig-zagging Rickon felled by a stray banana peel and a broken neck would have been a fitting exit for the show’s youngest Stark.

Thanks for your reply. I do appreciate that I’m asking somewhat of a LMGTFY question, but given your experience and thoughtfulness I was / am hoping you might suggest a starting place. An above suggestion (not by you) to start with The Great White Fleet and go from there seems - to me - to miss the point. If the Navy…

As long as you can get drafted by the Cowboys / Packers / Patriots / Steelers, I’m confident it will leave many players satisfied. I mean, if you tear your ACL while protecting Tom Brady on an incomplete out route to whatever plucky, white receiver was lined up in the slot, then you’re part of the GOAT right?

Based on your qualifications - and thank you for your service by the way - can you explain what the “critical role” of the Navy is? Or what its critical roles are?

Is the idea that China is willing to squander its economic relationships and sabotage its own claims to world leader status by going to war with the United…
