God, Trump is bad at this. By this, I mean everything.
He didn’t call you dumb, or unlearned. Like, at all. What he said is true for much of America, POC or not. The vast majority of Americans were more familiar with Hillary Clinton. As more people learned about Bernie, more people liked him. His popularity kept rising and he’s still one of the most popular politicians in…
Just because she’s not as bad as Trump (and she’s not) doesn’t mean Merkel isn’t awful — her cruel advocacy of austerity and neoliberalism bears much of the responsibility for Europe’s own right-wing/ultranationalist/xenophobic turn.
It bears noting that Watergate took 2 years to fully play out. This will likely take months if not years.
Funny, I too hate “covering up brain damage,” “blacklisting players from the league for political activism,” and “having a racist team name.” It’s like me and Rog are on the exact same page!
Gosh, I hope they don’t cut out a weekly Tribute to Service by mistake. I know how much those mean to the front office.
This is well covered, but I just can’t get over how intent the NFL is on eliminating certain specific dangerous plays in a game that is fundamentally just large fast men crashing into each other at full speed, but the minute somebody says “uh, maybe you shouldn’t make them play on three days rest”, they’re like “woah,…
2.5% went 12+. That’s higher than I expected, but still 1 out of 50 games. That’s 3 or 4 times a year per team. Still not an issue that needs fixing.
Ken Burns knew.
PLEEEEASE chop 10 games off the baseball schedule. Especially with the increased playoffs instituted and World Series going to November. More is not always better in the race to stay relevant.
Plus, they literally skate through the season!
Losing 10% of your games isn’t about losing ticket sales. It’s about losing 10% of your TV, radio, and advertising revenue while still having to maintain your payroll levels because — and rightly so — the players union isn’t going to sit still for commensurate salary cuts. Also, presumably a lot of bonus incentives…
Yeah, this needs to be addressed. These countries contain overwhelmingly single race, secular-oriented populations, which eliminates two of the single biggest causes of tribalism within many countries — skin color and religion. Tribalism is, in my I’m-not-a-sociologist-so-I’m-probably-uninformed opinion, the main…
Fair play. As uncomfortable as it makes me, this component of things really should be included in the discussion.
“Sachs points to the profound racial and ethnic segregation of our society”
This is yet another reminder that having a child does not suddenly make you an expert on literally anything, and that the act of birth is something that literally billions upon billions of people around the world, both very smart and incredibly fucking dumb, have done throughout millenia.
like we needed more evidence that phil kessel is a beer leaguer at heart
Possibly mixed with the weight of being the smartest person in the room.
All the Brits who get pissed off at the Royal Family confuse me. Sure, the Monarchy is stupid, but all they are now are figureheads and tourist attractions. Guess what? A lot of people come to England not because of the well-known cuisine, but because they want to visit where the royalty lives. My Mom will buy…
