Another thing they have in common is causing brain damage!

I don’t know. We’ve successfully resettled refugees from around the world, so I’m inclined to think we can resettle them from Kentucky.

“He is a dick, but not an asshole” is the nicest accurate thing anyone has ever said about Cal, and I mean that as a compliment to him.

This! This this this! This shit is ungovernable! Splitting off CA doesn’t fix that, but the reason we’re talking about secession at all is because we have a sprawling unwieldy monster on our hands where nobody gets what they want and we barely keep the lights on.

Bingo. Let’s say the UK as a whole voted for a party that wanted to gut health care, shred women’s rights, shred LGBT rights, torch the environment, slash government services and give all the money to the military and the rich. Would you tell Scotland: “You gotta stick around and save them from the inside!”?

Fuck no!…

But that’s kind of the point of the secession chatter, isn’t it? Blue states don’t have the power to enact those kinds of reforms (in fact, even within blue states it’s often very difficult because of the way states are districted), and when people feel powerless to control their own destiny, they start to look for…

Secession is indeed ludicrous, impractical and counter to many progressive ideals. But here’s the question I grapple with: Is the United States, as a whole, still governable in any functional way?

I actually strongly support like 90 percent of this plan.

He’s. A. Chucker.

He’s a chucker. An amazing dervish of one, but a chucker. He’s leading the league in scoring because he’s taken more than 300 more attempts than the next guy. He’s ninth in three-point attempts and 103rd in percentage. He’s 3rd in assists per game and 115th in assists-to-turnover ratio. His effective field goal…

I got the ending I wanted, but I do think the core mechanics of Ciri’s fate were a little narrow, given that what happens to her is by far the most important thing to Geralt in the game. His parenting style should be a factor, but having her life or death come down to five binary conversation tree choices doesn’t feel…

The swish is a very good sound, but the crack of the bat is predictive — it portends the excitement to come.

He gets some of them to open up, particularly if they had a relationship. I found his JJ Redick one a few weeks ago to be very good, because Redick was candid.

Wolves fan here who was prepared to show up to tonight’s game in a Ricky Rubio Knicks jersey in protest, so take that into account, but:

This reminds me of the parable of the scorpion and the frog, where the scorpion said, “I want to sting trans youth to death!” and the frog was like “I DO think my taxes are too high.”

I have no dog in this fight, but chirping at a team after you gave up 50 in a quarter and got blown out yet again in a bad look.

Huge missed opportunity to call it GIT GUD in the same font.

Finally, a realistic kinesiology motion simulator.

Without knowing anything about the terms of this contract, does it really ensure anything other than he’ll play Basel if he’s still playing? Like, if he wins another Wimbledon next year and then decides to hang ‘em up (indulge my fantasy for the moment), is there anything that will really force him to play? That seems…

As a Cubs fan, that was my first thought. Unfortunately my second thought was “Aroldis Chapman.”
