So I got on board the “they as singular” train a while ago (and I used to be irritatingly prescriptivist). But a thing I’ve been playing with lately is using “They is” instead of “They are”. Now, there’s a lot of complication to this, and it REALLY get’s people’s hackles up (even more than just using they as…

So, what’s with leaving the cadaver of Deadspin up on the banner, without a new post in a solid month?

In this universe, the answer seems to be “nobody.”

Who Would Win: a worldwide effort to stop the apocalypse, or some coal miners and autoworkers that don’t want new jobs?

Can you think of another profession where those attracted to it are so colossally untrustworthy and so known for dishonesty, we have to put fucking cameras on them just to ensure they’re doing their job and not lying about it?

I’d be perfectly happy to spend the rest of the season without Baby Yoda using the Force at all again. It was important at the start to establish why he’d be a valuable target for all sorts of underworld types, but I don’t need him to deus ex machina solutions to all the Mandalorian’s problems.

But it felt a little forced for them to open up about their pasts so quickly, Cara especially, as we’re sure there’s a lot more going on there.

io9 is a faint shadow of its former self.

It wouldn’t be that hard. Local governments already appraise property. And financial firms already have reporting requirements. Just expand those and you’ll capture the vast majority of property. Make insurance companies report too (to capture those boats and expensive paintings) and that should just about do it.

If only there was a blog to cover left leaning policies like this, instead of trying to shoehorn it into a personal finance blog.  Something with a catchy name like Squinter or Flinter.

Yep. Especially if the place is new - just getting a reputation. The LW says the food was “fine.” So if the food was merely fine and the drink left a bad taste in my mouth, I wouldn’t go back. And although I’m really not one to badmouth a business, especially a new one, if asked about the food and experience by…

I mostly agree with this take, but I do think the fact that the bartender correctly assumed what the problem was makes me feel like the “dish” wasn’t made correctly and the bartender knew when the drink was served that there was a chance the drink was not up to snuff...

My gods Musk is a easily butthurt individual. He’s like a child.

“Did the check clear? Good!”

I’ve had both.  the Beyond Burger is simply not as good as the Impossible.
