Fucking good. She should resign. It’s appalling that she leaked the questions from CNN, or that she even got them in the first place. And setting aside how stupid it was to leak things in general, she should at least have had the damn tradecraft to do it over the phone and not in a fucking email. And also, apparently…

Having just spent last week at the hospital detoxing my dad, this is a depressing read. I’d like to think he might actually stop drinking this time, but it is so unlikely.

Here we have an article about monopsony where the author doesn’t bother to define the term and probably doesn’t know what the term means. It means the market has one *buyer* for a particular good, the counterpart of “monopoly” where there is one *seller* for a particular good. (It is not “monopoly-lite, when one…

Black people are genetically immune to nostalgia. Science.

Mental health resources are stretched so thin on reservations. A lo of health and other services are stretched thin on the reservations. My reservation is dealing with a lot of synthetic marijuana use and also painkillers.

Disagree, but it doesn’t really matter because Elsa Pataky is hotter than both of them and because she married Chris and not Liam, his life is by default perfect.

It reminds me of Bob Newhart’s roast of Don Rickles: “Don’s new sitcom, A Couple of Dons, received a negative two Nielsen rating. Not only did nobody watch it but several people who didn’t own TV sets said that if they got one, they wouldn’t watch it either.”

No matter the ratings for last night’s game, they won’t reflect the millions who watched the game but really wished they hadn’t.

The good thing is they aren’t stuck with this failing business model for an entire season, they can choose a new one everyday!

...couldn’t get him to stop laughing at the number 69.

Gronk just pawn in game of life

While this is really disappointing, I think if you dig in a little, it is (marginally) more understandable. The new contract runs until 2021, so it is not long term . The issue identified in the underlying articles appears to be that federal facilities have to be built, there is no available infrastructure to simply…
