I took Old English (aka Anglo Saxon) in college and learned the etymology of sheriff too, but that has fuck all to do with what modern American sheriffs do. The CNN story on this includes an extensive quote accusing people associating this with racism of willfully ignoring how common the term “Anglo-American” is in…

I just can’t believe an American Police Department was publicly criticized without the entire force threatening to walk off the job.

I get it, basketball is the only touchstone to Black culture and history in Boston.

Hah! I had forgotten they dropped Ivanka’s line. That makes this better.

Trump’s going to have a stroke when he finds out about this.

If you can show me a better allegory for the budget approval process in Congress, I’d like to see it.

I wish I had more stars to give !

This is fantastic. I love the idea and Lucas is adorable. I just hope there isn’t a backlash or a stupid pseudo-science article.

My point exactly. I will never understand why sports acuity is always applauded more over academics.

Thank you. Do they do this for the scholars?

Another question: Why is there a whole assembly, and television coverage, of one guy choosing what college he’s going to go to?

Mr. Young, I’m 44. Please please know that the lack of fucks you give in your 30’s will DRASTICALLY reduce in your 40’s. It’s a beautiful thing to behold - you’ll be amazed at how many fewer fucks are given each day into your 40’s.

See, that was my first thought that of course a man assumes a dinner is a date....but I thought about it a little more and the context kind of changes the situation. Quincy was a notorious womanizer in his early 70s at the time....he wasn’t her business partner, neighbor, etc.......so going out to a one on one dinner…

He doesn’t understand what “dated” means.

I really think there’s a LOT to be read into that response from Tom Brady to Malcolm Butler’s instagram post, and it connects in to this McDaniels thing. Brady isn’t casually going out of his way to do that without thinking about what it means. He made a statement that the most important player on the team didn’t…

The issue with the first penalty wasn’t that it shouldn’t have been given- maybe Kane dragged his leg a bit, but the keeper’s elbow definitely took out his back foot- it’s that the flag didn’t go up when Kane was egregiously offside before he’d even entered the box in the first place.

People are starting to figure out how to best needle 45*. It’s not challenging his policy positions (which shift like a sand dune). It’s not challenging his personnel decisions (the majority of which aren’t his, but come from the RNC).

He looks like a toddler interuptig his uncle for juice, while his uncle is trying to talk to other grown-folks.

FYI this is not me giving up, just need to rant.
