Even knowing and having dealt with many of the potential headaches of that vintage BMW, that price seems too good to be true. I have two young kids and a demanding job and have been planning putting off the purchase of a project/fun/weekend car for a few years at least. But hell, even with that said I’d buy this thing…

My God, his apology was the fucking worst. I didn’t think anything could be more irritating than the original bullshit statement but man, he managed to one of himself. “It breaks my heart.” Get the fuck out of here.

I have an irrational aversion to non-functional hood scoops/vents/louvres. In high school there were a handful guys who covered their cars in the kind of plastichrome faux performance shit you’d get from the discount parts bin at Pep Boys. Portholes, hood scoops, you name it. The worst thing was they weren’t bad guys,…

I will just never get over the fact that 2020 Republicans chose an anti-fascist protest group as their boogeyman of choice. That continues to say everything you need to know about the American right.

Pretty much the only thing that is singularly amazing about Trump is how he continually tops himself for how fucking awful he is. My expectations for Trump are “always be the worst possible person and do things the worst possible way.” And yet, even with those expectations, Trump still manages, on practically a daily…

Ah, sweet, we’re into the “dipshits offer lukewarm pleas for civility, and the implicit argument that a few thousand bucks in property damage is equivalent to a few hundred years of institutional racism, so let’s just call it a wash and let’s all settle down” portion of proceedings. Cool. Least surprising thing of…

It’s been said before but it’s always worth repeating: no acquisitions editor worth his or her salt would fucking touch a manuscript with a character written like Trump. He’s just the shittiest, laziest caricature of a shitty, lazily-written character in a shitty, poorly-planned made-for-late-night 90s cable sci-fi TV…

This was my first thought: Trump’s reaction to this is going to be delightful. First he’ll do exactly as you say, he’ll claim that Floyd was very thankful and said he looked forward to voting for Trump again. Then ten minutes later he’ll post another tweet complaining about how disrespectful and ungrateful and un-Ameri…

Man, we can’t connect socially during this crap, so being able to do so virtually—even (or perhaps: especially) with a complete stranger anonymously—is kind of a necessary thing. We’re all people, we’re all going through this together, and connecting with each other is the only way we’re going to come out of this…

First off: congrats! My wife just gave birth to our second child, which... I mean, not like we had a say in the timing, but that was also an exceedingly weird thing to do during a pandemic. Instead of a whole bunch of people in the room meeting the little one, it was just me and her. And if I left, I couldn’t go back…

Right now, at this stage of my life, reliability is second only to safety. I’ve got two small children—one toddler, one newborn—and I’m aggressively getting rid of the remainder of my student debt and aggressively building up my retirement portfolio to make up for all the years I wasn’t contributing shit because all…

Honestly, I know that the only path forward is recognizing that we have more in common with most Trump voters than we do differences. We’re all relatively poor and powerless (compared to those who have real money, every day take more of it, and use that money as leverage for immense power). The elites that run the GOP…

Yeah, this whole pandemic is laying bare the way a certain portion of America—particularly the American right—looks at people. It’s nothing new, it’s just more explicit, more jarring. For decades we’ve put profits ahead of quality of life, now we’re just explicitly putting profits ahead of actual lives.

Damn. The only thing I’m disappointed by is the fact Jordan didn’t just own it in the documentary. I mean, personally I wouldn’t have batted an eye if he’s just said “yeah, absolutely. Fuck Zeke. I hated him, half the team hated him, his own coach didn’t want to deal with him on the team. I had leverage and I used it.…

Crack pipe only because I grew up in upstate NY, and I feel like vehicles like these were always to be found rusting out in someone’s backyard somewhere. Always with a story along the lines of “oh, yeah, dad bought that because he got a good deal and he thought it was cool, turns out it was insanely unreliable and not…

Yeah, I just spent five minutes trying to scroll down the page on my iPhone only to have it keep rubber band back up to the intro. Jesus what an insanely frustrating experience.

Man, that show was hot or cold. There were some episodes where you could tell that Seinfeld and the guest were either good friends or had a lot of respect for each other, or had strong mutual interests, and the conversation was really interesting. There were some where you could basically feel them wanting to slap the…

Neutral: I work for a very large global IT and cybersecurity company, and we’re still pretty busy, between companies adjusting their infrastructures to their newly-distributed workforces, and all the hackers trying to take advantage of same.

I’m curious how much of a shitshow the post-COVID lawsuits from employees of Musk and others of his ilk are going to be. It seems to me that there are going to be a whole bunch of families of workers who will catch the disease after being basically told they can return to work or lose their jobs.
