Another Fact...There are ways to have growth that don’t diminish the relative bargaining power of the working class. The ‘neoliberalism’ to which the author refers is a shorthand for ceding some of that bargaining power in the 1970s.

Score and smack talk aside, I thought USA played pretty poorly

It’s silly to call his objections to Nanette hearsay. “If she really is saying that comedy is not about laughter any more, then she is not talking about comedy” is a critique about genre and the more dubious claims that Gadsby makes about laughter always being about defusing tension (it was certainly about that in her…

Instead of hosting the WooSox, Worcester should just develop around its statue of a guy bumming a turtle:

I am happy that RI isn’t footing a mondo bill, but I’m sad to see the Sox go.
McCoy’s charm was how antiquated it was. It evokes a better era of baseball for me (pre-financialization of everything).
Better far would be if nobody was as stupid as Worcester is and we didn’t have to offer big checks to keep a rinky dink…

I thought Raimondo is more vulnerable because she alienated her base by reneging on teacher pensions.

One important distinction between the people who commit murder and the cops who commit murder is that the cops are supposed to prevent killing and de-escalate violence. You can either say ‘shit happens’ or you can think that an arm of the state needs reform.
And without somebody getting ‘worked up,’ the officers…

Moonlight thing was fine. Her yellow face performance could merit some tougher questions, though.

I love how similar this game is to the Spiderman 2 game for the PS2

don’t even get me started on “I can”

Sorry for being that guy, but if you want an explanation for how someone could poop 3x a day, look no further than capitalism.
If you’re working in an office, where you’re being monitored from your cubicle and bored to death by a 9 to 5, then a cocktail of coffee and work time loopholes will have you dashing to the…

“Most people want it to remain best of 5 sets” is not incompatible with “it’s just some purists resisting change”
Most people are just some purists!

“Best of 5 is awesome”
True. My favorite part of a marathon 5-setter is watching a top 3 player who’s totally gassed lose to some upstart in the next round. Great stuff!

Between the increased physicality of the sport, the number of tournaments from far and wide, and the freaky scheduling that has to happen at tournaments with weird weather and limited courts, tennis players are getting hurt more and more.
This seems like a pretty easy and common sense way to reduce the man-hours on the…

Some people who may care: TV execs/producers who may draw on a clique-y, mostly white writers scene for ‘not racist’ reasons like ‘they’re the people we always hire’

Honestly, I sorta prefer the Wiz to Sporting KC, which is sneaky euro-esque with its weird name (sporting, not a word Americans say) and the KC/FC soundalike.

Reference standard for US soccer logo remains the old NY Cosmos.
Shoutouts to the old Sounders logo with the whale headbutting the ball and to the Portland Timbers (not Timbers FC).
Honorable mention to the Redbulls who combine my American love of plural nouns and shameless advertising.

Missing anything?

Obviously true.

Why is being anti-Sessions the dark side? Grassley’s bill is pretty good for a GOP-led criminal justice reform. It’s not perfect, but any reduction in the severity of minimum sentencing is a good thing. And anti-recidivism measures are much needed as well.

Is it that Sessions is the only one keeping Mueller in place? A…

just read the plots on wiki

Nope, wrong!
