Well, it’s clean now.

There’s a Nine Inch Nails song titled “Right Where It Belongs”, and one of the lyrics is “See the animal in its cage that you made”...(or “built”, can’t remember that last word).

I could have gone to my grave without ever knowing about Blippi. 

The free tacos are a trap! It’s about getting everyone outside to hit them with the Kragle!

You don’t need a study to know that lane centering technology is capable, but U.S. road markings are horrible.

they should probably start the layoffs with their fucking HR department, because they sound hideous. 

Let’s see, this seems to be the current publishing strategy:

1) Print circulation declines;
2) Fire staff and make product worse;

I didn’t watch any of them because Twitter is blocked at work, but the gif in the header was enough to make me feel uncomfortable.

Kinda feels like they’ve never seen a woman before. 

There is no next team, he’s done.

Shooting himself in the foot while opposing anti-fascism is in character for new MLS Commissioner Colonel Klink.

People are blaming Mickey for this, but I suspect its just a culmination of his past gaffes—-after all, the Mets have but ONE trustworthy reliever (which Mickey already used and is quite frankly, running into the ground) and their now ridiculously overpaid closer is practically useless.

David Tracy still has his first Jeep. And always will.

I’ve known Jessi since grade school. She was equal parts daring and enjoyable to be around, and we’ll miss her light in this world.
