I haven’t read all of Simon’s tweets, nor others in this genre, but from the description up top, is he really saying he deserves special praise — or to use your term, doing something heroic — by voting for Hillary? I hope not.

From the rest of your description (just from your post), he sounds like me.

Thanks for confirming you’re a binary, low info, hot take machine.

I don’t know why she, alone, gets stuck with this term. She didn’t create that term, or promote it. She, like hundreds of other politicians of the day (black and white), was quoting what they (wrongly) thought was the best social science research (led by DiLulio of Penn and Fox from Northwestern) regarding the huge

Again, why? Why would you “bet your car”? You have nothing to base that on. It’s literally just a glib take. You’re no better than those who spout off about Kaepernick.

A good portion of her political base, her fellow Dems and her predecessor (Obama, who will not evaporate on Nov 9) cares about this issue, so while it

“Neither candidate gives actually gives a shit about police shootings.”

Speaking of a dumb take. Are you saying you know more than the Mothers of the Movement — as the people deeply, personally affected by this issue b/c their sons & grandsons were shot & killed —who are strong Hillary backers?

Are you saying all these

We should know about 10pm Eastern whether we’ll need to break out the Suicidal Tendencies records or not (c’mon Florida — don’t f* this up, like in 2000).

His follow up tweets are as thoughtful and discerning as one would expect:

No kidding. It’s amazing that we’ve had 78 straight months of job growth (well over the record), stock market is way up, millions more have health care, crime is near record lows and well over 50% of population is doom & gloom — which is understandable, as neither side has any faith the parties in Washington will do

I have some sad news for you: your friend won’t stop believing Beyonce and Jay-Z are the anti-christ on November 9. She also will still think black lives don’t matter — all lives matter; that Hillary Clinton had at least one (minimum)of her close friends killed; that taxes have never been higher; and that race

Yep, he spread his wings and learned flying solo, on TV, requires a different skills set than he has. He doesn’t seem comfortable or charismatic enough.

It made sense for him to try, as pretty much all big-time writers in the past 10-15 years have made the move to TV in one form or another. The most obvious example is

I support this comparison to GBV.

Lions fan here. If you are relying on Kyle Van Noy to provide good depth, let alone significant, quality play time, you are making a serious mistake.

I work at a regional university/college in the Midwest — it’s a step or two above community college in terms of difficulty. We have a diverse student body (over 25% African-American), but the student body as a whole are not the most worldly. In fact, it’s possible a few students have come from this Ohio town.

Coincident

Oh wow. Looking at a) the kid in the top hat holding the end of the “chains” handcuffs of his property (top hat as an indicator of “man of money”, see Mister Money Bags), b) the ripped shirt of the black kid and c) the “chains” handcuffs around his wrist —- that black kid is totally a slave in this Spirit Week

“Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba?

Eh...I see where you are going, but as you pointed out, TB only was in existence for about 35 years before winning the title, so nothing unusual there. Plus, while they were uniquely horrible their first two seasons, after that, they were a basic franchise — they made the conference finals in like their 4th or 5th

The “no respect” angle is so overplayed in sports, it’s a cliche, but the White Sox definitely do not get any.

- They did not get any in 2005 when they won (I haven’t measured it, but I think the fact the White Sox hadn’t won a WS in 78 years was mentioned by the media 1/100 as much as the Indians’ current drought and

What’s confusing? I know we all have to hate all things NFL rule book-related, but Bruce Arians (and anyone else complaining) should really shut up.

This isn’t hard — you can’t run up, jump, and “land” on a player (for obvious safety reasons) on a FG; Wagner clearly did not do that. No rational person would think it.

It’s true.
