Look, there’s only like four of us White Sox fans that hang out around here.  So could you please stop stealing my jokes before I think them up?

Hawk Harrelson Jr. is going to remember this very differently. 

Jon’s ending was a pleasant surprise for me. i was betting on him; 1) dying, where my hope was he and Daenerys kill each other or 2) going to be king. his storyline always felt like it had to ‘play in Peoria’ and was full of tired old tropes for me.

It’s either that or he enters the Keith Richards zone and lives to be a thousand.

Why is climbing Everest still a thing? Thousands have done it, and hundreds have died, trying. It’s an ecological disaster, and a sacred mountain is now covered in garbage, shit, and human bodies. It’s become just one more way for the hyper-rich to throw away their money just to claim one more way they feel…

Drawing attention to one’s self-even on the occasion of one’s sesquicentennial-in the presence of a monarch simply isn’t done, my dear.

Gives hope to GOT S08 remakers. lol

It’s going to be great when they reveal the new Sonic design and it still sucks. (Or at least still gets backlash from the same crowd that was just taught they can make enough noise to get things liked this changed.)

My son was carrying a plate of lasagna next to our new couch while watching the TV. The helplessness and dread I felt as I watched it slide off his plate onto the new furniture in slow motion is the same I felt watching that clip.

That catcher’s one of those rare prospects who will be able to skip AAA and head straight to the Orioles. 

UPDATE: He broke out.

$30/hour means that a 40 hr/week schedule earns $60k a year. That is roughly half of the middle-of-the-pack salary at many tech giants in LA for someone 8-12 years out of a respectable undergraduate program. Do you think Uber/Lyft drivers deserve to make half as much as a highly educated desk job that likely adds 10x+…

$30? That’s more than I make at a job that takes express qualifications and a natural talent, and after 9 years on the job with a couple promotions.

Jeff Marek had a great point on the audio documents that POST Wrestling put out this week: Why didn't the police stop the show? After all, it was a potential crime scene.

You’re only ignoring it if they actually manage to serve you with it.

Ahem.

You just ignore them. Silence is always the best insult.

wait what?

That’s why you need to play Nuclear Risk. Three sixes on offense or two on defense equals instant annihilation of all opposing forces in the territory in question. Then you dump the contents of your ashtray on it, for full effect.

You know how sometimes you play Risk, but then it’s like three hours later and no one’s really close to winning and you’re almost out of beer anyway so you just do Rock Paper Scissors (best three out of five) to determine who wins?
