anything that can happen to keep us from being beholden to those lying racists gets my attention.

It’s just to get discussion going on an article so it looks like there’s more engagement. They know that hot takes or flagrant errors make people want to speak up & this is how they can raise the price of their ad space. Same reason they’ve been re-running Tom’s old articles on car buying. Increase engagement w/o…

The gesture is nice but when I read “16yr old, whataburger” my first thought was the increase in insurance he’ll be paying for that brand new truck unfortunately. I hope it works out for him or he’s able to find a great deal to lesson the expense or maybe his family pays for his insurance. But these are not crazy…

Owners of EMS companies- there’s your problem right there.

I DGAF about driving in the dark. That’s what headlights are for. I’d rather have more sunshine at night to spend outside later. I’m glad such a good bipartisan bill passed.

You know, I’m not as down on commercial space flight as many people seem to be. We learn a lot from going to space, the government has largely abandoned the leadership role it should be taking in research and exploration, and while sure, billionaires could arguably be putting this money to more altruistic uses,…

I just can’t believe we’re talking like these numbers are at all accurate. Remember at the beginning of the pandemic when there were reports of skyrocketing cremation and urn purchases all over China and they were claiming things were actually fine? It’s just bizarre that this keeps getting reported as “China has been…

Is there something special about Ukraine that half of the neon is made there?

He wished he was a nationally known actor. That was the whole point of this scam.

Tangential rant incoming.

And I can deal with ugly animation! I watched all of F is for Family even though the animation is bad and often quite ugly, and some of the voice acting is unbearable. I have low standards if the writing is decent! 

What kind of fake news is this? What about the third type of person who isn’t a psycho and just eats their fries in between bites of burger until both are gone?

Because oil companies are greedy. With how little we actually import from Russia there’s zero reason for prices to skyrocket like they are.

This is actually really important. “The Ukraine” refers to what the USSR and Russia called that part of their empire. Ukraine is the country as it exists today.

For the millionth time, its just “Ukraine”. Do like Zuck and drop the “The”. 

Jesus Jezebel’s coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been dreadful. I hardly know where to start.

Weird take. This is a war.

It’s good to see their terrible methods are at least being motivated by something meaningful instead of patently stupid.  

Doesn’t Putin know that toppling unfriendly democracies to install client states on his doorstep is America’s side of the street? Just because we did it all through the cold war in South and Latin America doesn’t mean he gets to do it in Europe. We’re the good guys.

That’s an all-too-common problem at crossings with multiple tracks. Compounded by the fact you can cross or stop at parallel tracks for years and never see two trains at the same time. Then that one time...
