The problem with the housing market is the increasing percentage of homes purchased by speculative investment firms. The market, as paid for by people who live in the home, is self-limiting. People will only pay a certain premium above what renting a similar property would cost them. But an investment firm, they’re…

He’s accused of “Inappropriate Behavior” which in this case if I’m reading between the lines in all the articles I can find means being handsy in the Biden way (as opposed to the Trump straight for the genitals way). Touching hair, arm on the shoulders without reading body language or asking consent, that sort of thing…

But Depp’s substance abuse and mental health isn’t being weaponized against him? They are both crazy, shitty, creative people and terrible partners. They are both demonstrably emotionally abusive. They are both likely to be demonstrated physically abusive with each other, which is the point of the trial, not how crazy…

Holy shit. Not a Depp fan, and I don’t care about how much Heard has or has not rendered over for a promised charitable donation, but this is bad for the ACLU more so than it is for Heard. They ghost-wrote a personal victim essay, and controlled the timing of its release to both take advantage of Heard’s fame and…

This is champion-level MadLibs, right here. You’ll never run out of headlines.

Daggerfall came out when I was 26, and I still remember the case it came in, the map it came with, and playing it. In my head I thought it came out when I was a little kid, and then I realized that it’s because it was so much fun to play that I felt like I was a kid again when it was running.

Girth matters, too.

The only possible explanations for abuse or neglect to the talent that draws people into your club is a complete lack of good business sense, or the psychological need to keep a population of marginalized workers hyperaware of where the power is. For fucks sake, nobody’s coming to these clubs because the bartender is…

Referring to sticking your house or car key into a bag of coke if you’re missing a coke spoon (yes, a real item) has been a thing I’ve heard since the ‘70s. Possibly longer, but I didn’t know about coke until the ‘70s, so that’s the first time I heard it.

Umm, EXCUSE ME, they spent the money on Helvetica, which is Arial for classy people.

Mescaline. Big Chief. Blue Caps. Buttons. Cactus. Media Luna. Mescal. Mezcakuba. Moon. San Pedro. Topi. Whatever the kids are calling it these days.

I used to do both. Pre-game a little to loosen up, then hit the mini-bottles. Somewhere there’s footage of me slithering down the little stairway truck onto the runway, the first vet from my hometown to come home after the Gulf War in the spring of 1991. Nobody told me there would be news crews, and nobody told the…

Alcohol and who knows what else, these days.

That can’t be from the ‘80s, it’s got to be from mid-70s at the height of the (‘73) oil crisis. Corporations were talking about using less air conditioning in office buildings to save money. In the 1980s we had much less polyester, and svelt lines on our European-cut single-breasted suits with skinny ties.

Anyone have a good explanation for why music videos are a thing?

As the former daily driver of an Aveo, I don’t know that I ever would have described it as a “passenger car”. Every time I had a passenger in it I realized how tiny it really was. But I will say it was hard as hell to kill. That little thing was a gas-sipper and just kept running and running.

Risky. You could try the “stand your ground” defense, only to find out that for some reason (gender, skin color, nationality, religious affiliation) that defense wasn’t meant for you.

At a certain point in the disease of alcoholism when your liver is shitting the bed, a drink or two puts you as far under the table as two racks of beer did when you were healthy. So it’s still entirely possible.

This is the correct take, here.
