Looking for a new family car sometime in the next year, and I’ve really got my eye on this one, either the hybrid or (hopefully) the EV. Interested in how much room is in the backseat - in our current car, we have to have the passenger seat pushed uncomfortably far forward to accommodate our rear-facing child seat.

The most infuriating aspect of American history is how little comeuppance our great villains typically get. 

I actually think it’s kind of both. Yes, he is pretty much as dumb as his harshest critics believe he is. Yet he does have a masterful ability to manipulate the press and his followers. But that’s only true because (much of) the press and all of his followers are really fucking easy to manipulate and have a hole in…

So Verizon could take that $30 billion 2017 profit, keep each of those 10,000 workers on board for another year an average salary of $1 million each, and still have $20 billion left over in profit. Got it. Hell of an economic system we’ve got here.

I read it and have mixed feelings. A lot of it worked perfectly fine as a memoir, but especially towards the end, the author kind of flip flops between being legitimately empathetic and understanding about the people he writes about and then blaming them for their problems and for not pulling harder on their bootstraps…

Pretty sure Frenkie de Jong is not a real person’s name.  Nice try, Deadspin.

Even worse - he was (is) a commie Cuban-Canuck!

I know everyone always goofs on Trump’s language skills, but kudos to him for the quotation marks around “podium.” He’s clearly acknowledging that he knows it’s really a lectern even though everyone calls it a podium.

Wait, the White Sox had red uniforms?

Here’s what’s always bothered me about Scabby. Maybe this is unfair, but it’s been my perception. He’s (she?) a regular fixture in Philly, but the optics are always terrible. It’s almost always a bunch of white picketers with Scabby outside a work site full of workers who are people of color. Now obviously the real…

Yeah, I once vowed to myself that I would never again cast a vote for anyone who voted to authorize force against Iraq. Yet, 2016 rolls around and I go back on that vow and vote for Clinton. Why? Because I’m not a fucking idiot.

I think their issue is that there’s no real evidence that lack of access to skills training is a barrier to the middle class, but rather that the middle class has been decimated by structural forces of modern capitalism.

Man, I absolutely don’t want a white dude as the next president, but I really hope Inslee makes a bunch of headway early with his campaign and forces whoever the nominee is to go big on climate change.

I have a dumb but legitimate question about folks entering the country illegally (and for the record, I think we should welcome them, especially Central American victims of political and gang violence). Per AOC’s point about most undocumented immigrants simply overstaying their visas, why is it that so many people…

The bright side of all of this is that it creates an opportunity for more discussion on Native issues, along with Dakota Access, the mess with disenfranchisement in the ND Senate race, and the election of the two new Native Congresswomen and OK governor. Obviously some of these developments are good and some bad, but…

Those vertical blinds on the Murray Hill place really scream “Million Dollar Home” to me.

I know I’m old and also kind of snobby, but I thought that Coachella was supposed to be a cool festival (if ridiculous due to all the LA scenesters) and that Ariana Grande was teenybopper music. I guess at least one of those assumptions was very wrong.

Yeah, that is a terrible bachelor party. I’ve definitely skipped a couple bachelor parties with people I wanted to be there for, because it wasn’t in the works to travel a long distance. I also submit that my bachelor party was the best of all possible bachelor parties. Dinner at a good bbq joint then (very cheaply)…

It’s a ticket pocket!  They’re kind of a retro throwback that came back into style recently.  They can be very stylish, but that is a poorly proportioned example of the form. 

Sure, he listened to her (after many years of marriage, he finally learned her favorite artist - good job!), but he also got her a cd she almost surely has since its, you know, her favorite artist.
