Trump already said he’d own the shutdown. So put a new VRA, socialized medicine, and massive immigration reform (full amnesty, a DACA fix, easier to actually immigrate, etc.) on every spending bill. If it doesn’t pass then you blame Trump by using the video of him saying it would be his fault. Just run that shit on a…

And that’s not the only time he’s done something like that. Peel is the worst official in the NHL.

Smith is, and always has been, frustratingly inconsistent. He’ll be great for a few weeks then trash for a month. Obviously you need good goaltending to make a cup run, but more than that you need consistent goaltending. When Mike Smith is on he’s certainly good enough to not be a liability, but when he’s off he’s…

Boston is a medium sized city and media market that looks bigger than it is because they tends have super hardcore fans and the 5th smallest stadium in the MLB. Fenway seats like 37,000 people. I saw multiple articles this past season and the season before talking about the Yankees having attendance issues when they…

Personally I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call Tim Peel a “referee.” It’d be more accurate to call him a “useless human shaped mound of failure” or “absolute moron who’s inability to control the game, combined with his tenuous understanding of the rules of hockey, will eventually result in someone getting really…

The tech and media monopolies (Facebook, Google, Twitter, Sinclair, etc.) will continue to exist because of Republican idiocy. If you tried to trust-bust Google at this point they’d certainly bring up comments from people like King in the ensuing litigation, and that could scuttle the whole thing.

I think it’s a question of resurrection versus transplanting. If we resurrected Babe Ruth and just plopped him into today’s game he’d get eaten alive. But if we cloned Babe Ruth and raised that clone from birth in the modern game he’d be the best hitter of all time.

Atlanta will be a non starter forever. I figure that after losing the Flames and the Thrashers the NHL has given up on the ATL.

I’ve heard that the owner of the Bucks is pretty heavily against a hockey team in Milwaukee, which makes it tough, especially since they’d likely share an arena for at least some time.

That’s totally sensible. It is not at all ridiculous to assume people know who Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are.

With the DCEU it felt like they were making movies because they had to if they wanted to make a Justice League movie, and it showed. The weakest of the pre-Avengers MCU, IMHO, was Captain America because it felt like a prequel for an Avengers movie (it was even called “Captain America: The First Avenger”). It seemed…

I’d actually be totally down for having a list/database of players with that long of a tenure as well as the very good/interesting that’s not formal induction, but is maintained by the hall.

Don’t forget both dijon and whole grain mustard (the good stuff). Dijon is a great thickener for sauces, and whole grain mustard is a nice way to give a sauce or gravy a bit of acid to really make them pop

Steak should be seasoned with salt and pepper and that’s it. Compound butter on top or a butter braise with rosemary and garlic are also great, but I wouldn’t necessarily call those seasonings as much as preparations.

I could see playing in the playoffs and for a national championship, as winning one would likely improve your draft stock, but short of that there’s no reason to risk injury for a meaningless game.

72 isn’t that old anymore, and he’s already falling apart (at least mentally) more than Jimmy Carter

Or just find someone who is willing to be the host year after year

I’m actually surprised by how solid the Best Hard Rock or Metal Performance is. Of that list I’d pick Honeycomb, but I’m guessing Electric Messiah will win.

It turns out that being a really good person and making the world a better place is healthier for you than being a shitheel. But honestly I do think that having engaging, important work helps keep someone all there, and the Carter Center does amazing work.

Pro tip: if it exists it’s somebody’s fetish
