As a fellow Sacramentan and appreciator of small markets & high taxes (ugh), I have to weigh in diametrically opposed to you as a show that we are not all so narrow-minded:

I know, if only I had an international platform as the most famous basketball player in the world who could bend an entire billion dollar enterprise to support emerging democratic movements in Hong Kong. If only!

But he didn’t stop at “don’t rock the boat.” Not rocking the boat would’ve been LeBron giving some milquetoasty answer that either vaguely supported free speech or claiming that “it’s a really complex situation so I can’t say but I hope both sides can work out a solution.”

Instead, he went beyond that by specifically…

shocking that someone employing an MLK quote on social media did not actually mean it

Man, I’d really love to know what Larry has to say about all of those roles! BY READING ABOUT IT IN AN ARTICLE.

I’m surprised at this anti-Bulgaria post.

A good time to remember that Colin Kaepernick gave up his job and all the considerable perks that come with it to stand up against injustice, while LeBron James, whose legacy and bank account are both more secure, is unwilling to risk even a small fraction of future earnings to speak on one of the few world issues…

I understand the players are caught between a rock and a hard place. But this has to be one of the most craven capitulations to money I have ever seen by a major athlete. Should have kept quiet. His rationale is bullshit.

This is just fucking gross. Thats really all I can say about it.

What is with the defeatist tone of this article? A person required to play quarterback for the Jets *wants* to continue to live, which is undeniable progress. 

This is awesome.

But doctor, I am the goddamn Batman.

“The film wouldn’t exist without Nolan’s ambitiously bleak take on the DC universe, yet it makes those operatic caped-crusader adventures look breezy by comparison.”

Were Nolan’s movies terribly bleak? “The Dark Knight” does revolve around Rachel’s death and Harvey’s loss of innocence, but the climax hinges around two…

The guy is a hero for standing up for what he believes in, in the face of an oppressive government.  The fact that he beats up Tai Chi dorks is icing on the cake.

The Laughing Fish example is probably my pick for the definitive single example of how to do a great Joker story: the idea of him chemically altering fish is so absurd as to be laughable, as is his attempt to patent them. It’s not out of place in the silliest of the ‘60s era stories. And honestly, so is the threat of…

WHAT’S THIS?

Gotta say, that bank is on point with the potential frauds. Hearing “Fan requires $724 worth of beer to get through Dolphins game” sounds uncannily plausible.

I shall invent a device that alerts Dolphins fans when they are being erroneously charged for purchases. It will emit a Dolphin-call shriek if a skimmer is used to rack up a fraudulent charge. I will call it “the Miami Sound Machine.”

OK, sure. But still, in her prime: Susanna Hoffs.

I haven’t followed this particular case really close, but I write about Ca. employment law and it’s very common for the lege to give a bunch of lead time for a bill to take effect — especially ones like this that are sure to cause a shitstorm. Look aty the $15 minimum wage — it was passed in 2016, but doesn’t take full…
