Dang if I didn’t tear up a little reading this one...

and, I should add, I can’t wait to get a look at Dahlin because if the Blackhawks keep their current form going they may have a shot at drafting him!

Yup. That seems most likely to me. If there’s a medal on the line (or a chance at one) I reckon we’ll see Dahlin out there.

Oh, for sure. I just think we won’t see him until the games really matter. They may have little to gain, but the kid has a lot to lose, especially against overmatched, flailing opposition.

Time for Brooks to be newt-ered.

Could this just be them holding out the consensus #1 pick to avoid injury in meaningless games? Its not like a great Olympics will improve his prospects, whereas an ill-timed charge could put him on the shelf

Neutering should deal with the territorial aggression and macho posturing. After they sort Boris out, maybe some squeaky toys for the cats?

That’s fair enough. Pols hate rocking the boat. Just that CJ reform is a big red button

That’s the biggest obstacle to criminal justice/penal reform: it takes brave and principled politicians who are prepared to get hammered for being “soft on crime” to do the right thing. And they’re in short supply these days.

For a Tongan athlete he’s actually pretty puny (I’m basing this idiotic taek on the fact that the only other Tongan athletes I’m aware of are their Rugby players: Google “brick shithouse” and you’ll get an idea)

Due to another translation error they ordered Chipotle instead of chapstick

That looks great..going to have to give that a go next week... I’ll just quietly do the frying when my better half isn’t looking! EffWhyAye, that baking soda technique is called “Velveting” and is a famous Asian restarant end-run for turning tough cuts into tender morsels.

Jesus tells Pence to say things? Isn’t that how all religion is meant to work? Your imaginary friend tells you to do/don’t do stuff and off you go...

I was a Watergate fiend in my 20s. Recently re-read some of the many, many books on the subject and came away depressed. The expose needed such a perfect storm: committed and independent media, iron-willed public servants, a determined judiciary and principled politicians on both sides. Can’t see that happening now.

Logan Paul is only a “creator” in the same sense as how I “create” a Logan and Jake in my toilet every morning.

I’m a wee bit peeved that Deadspin didn’t see fit to cover the coolest thing to happen in sport this weekend (I understand there was some shoving-match happening in Minnesota, but still..)

oddly enough, actual fights are relatively rare in rugby.. possibly because refs/citing panels WILL drop the hammer on you.

I don’t agree with or quote Chairman Mao much but when he said “Religion is poison” he was spot fucking on.

The DMCA is potentially useful... online platforms will more-or-less automatically comply with a takedown (covering their asses about copyright theft is what it was designed for, after all). And counter-claiming against a DMCA takedown means that you assert, legally and under pain of perjury, that you are the…
